I know mourning the loss of someone is a part of life, I just never expected to be mourning my own life before chronic illness stole that person away.

Bring chronically ill is exhausting

"Have you tried..."

Have you tried shutting the fuck up, because that would actually be helpful.

I know my friends love me, I do.

But sometimes. Fuck. I feel like an outsider.

being disabled with a chronic illness is like. I'll never go back to my old life. This is forever. I'm tired all the time, but all I do is sleep. I'm tired of being tired. I wanna work. I wanna go to school. going to the grocery store tires me out, and I'll pay for it tomorrow. I wanna change my life. this isn't ever going to get better. I'm just gonna be in physical therapy until I plateau. I feel better today I must be faking it. I'm feeling better today I'll use this energy to do some work. I am once again bedridden. My life will never be the same. This is something I'm going to have to deal with for the rest of my life. I guess it's hard to comprehend that.

Also my face when the brain fog hits 🎯

mannnnn until we all get okay with the idea of people needing other people to get them water/food/etc like. idk we’re just never gonna make it

[batmanego]

yes you have autistic in your bio but are you rude to people who need carers and assistance with basic tasks? do you call me lazy for a text post where i ask my father to bring me water? yes you have adhd and post constantly about executive dysfunction but if a schizophrenic person who needs but doesn’t have have a carer hasn’t showered or worn clean clothes in months exists, how are you going to react to that?

[batmanego]

yeah yeah you’re all for disability rights but if someone is campaigning for adult changing tables in disabled stall bathrooms because they have incontinence and have to wear a diaper are you going to think they’re weird? if a person has a visible colostomy bag are you going to think it’s gross? what about feeding tubes? how does your opinion on these issues change if the person in question is fat, or homeless, or a person of color?

[chronicallylav3nd3r]

it’s okay if you’re embarrassed about using mobility aids but:

• it’s okay to use a cane

• it’s okay to use crutches

• it’s okay to use a rollator

• it’s okay to use a walker

• it’s okay to use a wheelchair

if they help you, they are great and you shouldn’t have to be embarrassed.

[id: a picture of a rollator with a black outline. there is black text with a white outline reading: “this machine runs over ableists”. /end id]
