Any other schizospecs feel super gullible and easy to sway, or is that mostly just me?

I feel like since I don’t trust my own reality or judgement fully, I feel like I take what others say to heart and mind more, and follow a lot of what others tell me is true or fact or likely.

I feel so easy to manipulate whenever I think about this and a lot of shame about it

Don't insult disabled people's bodies!

Do not call them gross or weird.

Don't tag people's real life bodies as body horror.

Don't gawk or stare.

Don't touch or grab others' mobility aids without permission.

Just treat us like you'd treat people. Because that's what we are. People.

Anyone else younger with arthritis, of any kind?

I’m 24, gonna be 25 in two months, and have a kinda generic dx of inflammatory arthritis (not a specific kind like rheumatoid or psoriatic as of rn)

If any other fellow youngsters with arthritis wanna talk or share their experiences and talk about it feel free to message, comment, or send an ask!!!

It's okay to feel however it is you feel about your disability.

You can be proud of it, and that's okay.

You can hate it, and that's okay.

You can have mixed or fluctuating feelings, and that's okay.

It's your disability, it's your body. No one should be able to tell you how to feel about it.

Ok, two questions!

In simple terms, what is the difference between a progressive condition and a degenerative condition?

I have heard both terms and tried looking it up, but I have a hard time comprehending what I'm reading a lot of the time. So, if it could be explained simply that would be GREAT!! :D

and 2. Are inflammatory types of arthritis considered progressive? I saw it used as an example somewhere for progressive conditions, but I can't recall where (curse you shitty memory!).

I ask this one because I have inflammatory arthritis and I'd like to be as educated as possible on something I have :0

Reminder

If you are “radqueer” (being or supporting things like transabled, transrace, etc), do not to follow me, or interact. I am not a supporter of those things.

I had a radqueer follow me (I simply blocked) so I felt like I should iterate this.

“But it’s just like being transgender but different!” No it’s not. Do not conflate two different groups with each other, also. Just like you shouldn’t combat the experiences of two different oppressed groups to make a point.

There is a difference between gender and race or disability or anything else like that anyways. There’s a difference between identifying as a different gender, and “identifying” as an inherently oppressed group of people.
