You’re allowed to hate your illness. You’re allowed to hate your body for making you sick. You’re allowed to be angry, to be negative, to be depressed. You don’t have to be ‘inspiration porn’ or please others for the sake of being palatable. Being sick all the time fucking sucks, thats it.
Obviously I want you to take care of your pets and make sure they get food and fresh water on a regular basis, but cats being huge drama queens and screaming hysterically at you and acting like they’re tragic famine victims who haven’t eaten in weeks and are about to drop dead from starvation right mcfuckin now, because you’re 10 minutes late feeding them is always going to be one of the funniest things to me
the cat who lives at the vet clinic i volunteer at was mad yesterday because his dinner was half an hour late due to a busy day. he proceeded to go to all the (empty dw) garbage cans and tried to knock them over and started desperately scavenging for scraps of food because obviously no one loves him or cares about him and if he must eat garbage to survive then so be it
not food related, but one time my cat cried at me for 20 minutes before i worked out that the reason why she was upset was because there was a coat hanger on her favourite cushion
This is absolutely beautiful and changed my life, thank you so much. Please protect her from hangers at all costs
wow. am STORVING and humaines here making joke laugh at cate honger ?!
My cat is a social eater who is not food motivated at all, so I was baffled when I first got him because he didn’t seem to care about food but he would SCREAM at me for hours when I knew his bowl was full. Any time I went to double check that he did indeed have food, he’d book it to the bowl and snarf like his life depended on it, but as soon as I walked away he’d follow me screaming again.
Eventually I figured out that he just wanted a dining companion and was screaming about how we’re a family and families eat together, god damnit! I moved his food bowl under my computer desk and it fixed the problem. But if I’m ever out for more than 12 hours I’ll come home to find him in a passive-aggressive kitty huff because dinner has been ready for hours but he’s been trying to be considerate (unlike some humans) and waiting for me to eat it.
My cats are indoor cats. Being indoor cats, they can’t go outside to hunt for food (mice, rats, birds, etc) to gift to my sister and I.
But they know that the kitchen has food. They know where the easily accessible cat food is. And obviously my sister and I are just Really Big Stupid Hairless cats.
So if my sister and I go without leaving our rooms for too long? My cats will sit outside our doors and scream for our attention, lead us to their food bowls, and then only stop the screaming and leading once they see us sit down at the table and eat something. Because they think we’re hungry.
Your cats are the sweetest beings on the Earth, it makes my heart warm knowing that they exist. They love you very much and they care so much, they want you healthy and happy and will make sure you don’t neglect yourself and oh god they are so perfect. Real pure love exists, I am happy to be alive today.
My neighbor is a hardcore drunk. Like, 9am and dude is drinking vodka, but he had a cat that’s pretty much his honest to god caregiver because I have seen this cat visibly screaming at this man to keep him from hurting himself and sometimes when he hasn’t been outside for a while, the cat will scream at my door until I go outside to knock on the door to check on him. Cats are literal angels.
I have a cat named a Kitty Pryde who has an extra thumb and these giant paws and while she’s not super bright she did learn that she likes being pet. So I must like being petted right? So if I’m watching TV alone she’ll come up and just with her giant paw gently stroke my arm or hand until I pet her back and she waits and pets me again and it goes on a while. Cats are angels.
My cat once stuffed my bath mat into the litter box
Mine wakes me up if I sleep in too long cuz she wants me to take my pills. Fiance said she was yelling at him all day yesterday. She stopped whwn I got home…and asked him if he tooks his meds. He hadn’t.
My girlie screams at me if she thinks I’m up past bedtime. Apparently this transfers to my new roommates too: Maeve led @katculator to her room, yelled until she was under the covers, then came back to the kitchen to do the same to me.
“I wish mental illness was taken as seriously as physical illness!”
Okay, but what makes people think physical/chronic illnesses are taken seriously?
some thoughts. we (i.e. western society) live in a culture that glorifies productivity and places peoples’ entire worth and validity in their ability to be productive. if you’re not productive, if you’re not able to work or ostensibly ‘contribute’ to society, then your worth plummets drastically.
this bullshit, ableist attitude fails to recognise that disabled people contribute enormous amounts to society. it fails to recognise that our worth is not inherently linked to how much money we can make. it fails to recognise that disabled people did not ask for their disability. it fails to recognise that whilst the people around them may ‘suffer’ as a result of their disability, they are the ones who suffer the most.
i just wanna remind you guys that you are valid, beautiful and loved. that your worth is not in any way linked to your ability to make money or exercise or socialise or travel or drive or move out of home or get married or have a family. you’re allowed to be disabled. you’re allowed to require extra care. you’re allowed to make special requests.
you’re valuable and amazing because you’re human. because you can quote the entire Lord of the Rings trilogies. because you make an incredible brownie mug cake. because you know every country in the world off by heart. because you make your friends smile. because your dog thinks you’re the best thing in this universe. because your Hello Kitty collection is killer. because you’ve finished The Witcher 3 in record time. because you’ve kept your plants alive for over a year.
you’re valuable because of who you are, not what you do.
I swing between “I need to accept that I am sick, probably more sick than I have yet to realise, and that’s ok” and “I am so healthy™ and neurotypical™ I can push myself wayyyyyy too hard in school I’ll be fine”
Remember when you had energy to do things? Those were some wild times
chronic pain
my body feels like a stale fried wonton
Do not “wait to get worse”.
I don’t care if you’ve “been worse”
Your body is tired of this.
You deserve help in this moment.
i dont see a lot of positivity for physically disabled people so heres some positivity from a fellow physically disabled person!!
if you have days you cant move or get out of bed bc of your disabilities, youre strong and great!! i know it can be hard when you cant do things but it doesnt take away from who you are
if you use mobility aides, youre amazing!! you probably deal w so much shit from able bodied people for using them but tbh their opinions dont matter, youre getting by in the way that is best for you and thats all that matters!
if you have invisible disabilities, youre wonderful!! its hard to deal with people who dont believe you because they cant see your pain and disabilities but youre stronger than they could ever imagine
if youre physically disabled in any way, youre so incredible!! youre stronger than any able bodied person could ever know and im proud of you!!
i would make this longer but im low on spoons sorry!! also able bodied people can rb this
Does daith piercing work for migraine? We put the question to our large, smart community and got a wide range of responses.
Folks, did you know that some patients have had migraine relief from getting a daith piercing? There aren’t any wide-ranging research studies on it—and it’s definitely hit-or-miss—but this is a decent, off-the-wall treatment option if you aren’t getting relief elsewhere.
The linked article includes some feedback from the community, which really runs the gamut from “genius” to “useless.” Folks in the EDS Life Hacks Facebook group are also discussing it and are similarly divided: for some it’s really been a lifesaver, while for others it’s been worthless.
To get into the nitty-gritty of why this may be effective, have a look at this case study from Frontiers in Neurology.
How about you, lovely readers? Any feedback on this remedy?
one of the most annoying things about having chronic pain for me is that everyone just assumes I’m not in pain anymore because I took painkillers or that my painkillers should help me and make me not be in pain anymore at all and if they aren’t “working” I shouldn’t take them
like my meds barely help me from a abled persons point of view, they help me enough to be able to go to the bathroom (this is with my mobility aid) but that’s still a lot for me and its a difference between being bedbound and literally not being able to move to being able to function at least a little (even if it’s just crawling to the bathroom or be on my phone or eat/drink)
I can’t tell you how many times my mom has told me “if the meds don’t help you why do you even take them??” because apparently meds cure everything and should help you at least 50%??
This is very true and also? if you’ve been on certain meds for a long time, it can be really scary to come off them because yeah maybe you think they aren’t helping much but then you might come off them and find out you feel even worse without them
You don’t have to be an inspiration or a success story. You don’t have to get all A*s and go to an amazing university. It’s enough to just be.
When you try to have a social life and your body is just like

Fatphobia is out of damn control. Also ableism
Okay, so I’m going to start this off by saying that I’m thin. More so than what’s probably healthy. So I will never personally experience fatphobia myself, but hear me out on this one.
I was at work as a cashier yesterday, and a lady came up to the till and asked me about some chocolate bars we have sitting there. Without thinking I said something along the lines of “Oh, I can’t eat chocolate, so I couldn’t tell ya. But this one is our best seller!”
Most of the time when I say something like that, customers don’t get too nosey. Probably just assume lactose intolerance or something.
But this bitch…
She asked why. I didn’t have a line and I don’t really mind telling people about my chronic illness. Told her that I have Wilson’s disease and that I have a restricted diet because of it, and chocolate is one of the things I can’t eat.
So she asked follow-up questions. What exactly is WD? How old was I when I was diagnosed? The usual.
And, of course, “What happens if you eat chocolate?”
My reply; “Well, it’s a fatal disease. I’m not about to find out.”
And her reply?
“Well at least it’s keeping you nice and slender!”
I…
Are you fucking kidding me?
I just told this bitch I am DYING and all she can think to say is that at least I’m thin?
Girl, I’m thin because I can’t eat foods rich in protein needed to grow. I’m thin because my medication causes such extreme nausea that I can’t always force myself to eat. I’m not thin, I’m malnourished!
How the fuck is that better than being fat!?
How fucked are your priorities that you would just… say that to an ill person?
