#caregiver support

possibly controversial disability community opinion: long-term caregivers should be considered somewhat part of the disability community and i'm kind of tired of excluding caregivers from discussions about ableism and systemic issues when caregivers also get the short end of the stick right alongside us every. single. time.

"some caregivers are ableist and caregiving doesn't inherently make you a good person" and "caregivers are regularly affected by ableism and systemic issues" are two things that are both true.

How to comfort your sad little one! ˙◠˙

🌧 Let them let it out, let them cry, let them whine about it, let them know their feelings are okay and you care about them. be there for them, that's what's the most important. 🌧 Get their favourite stuffies and blankies, aka comfort items for them 🌧 Get their favourite snack if you have it around! 🌧 If your little one wants (always ask beforehand!) give them a cuddle 🌧 Put on their favourite TV show, or play their favourite game together! 🌧 if you can, try and give them advice, or just reassuring words and comfort 🌧 When they calm down, ask them if they want to do anything special. 🌧 Recommend a nap time, naps help a lot when sad. 🌧 Tell them a story to distract themselves 🌧 Use grounding exercises (name 5 things in the room, breathing exercises) 🌧 and last and most important. be patient and don't rush them to explain why they are sad, don't raise your voice and yell, make them feel loved.

little who cries at every inconvenience because of their heightened sensitivity

carer who constantly comforts their little by letting them cry instead of telling them to stop and reassures them that it's okay to cry and to be emotional over little things

I got my food handlers license today for something and I’m very proud of myself. My Daddy was so proud of me too!! It’s my second certification I got this week. :33 But today isn’t about me. It’s about my Dada. :(

I know Daddy has been down because he’s drowning in bills because of his ex best friend and past roommates moving out a year ago. He’s been left with everything for months and he’s having a bad mental health week. He had to step down from his manager position at work due to not being paid what he was promised after a year or so of working there.

He’s so depressed that he couldn’t smile for hours today until I made him all cozy and smol and soooo I THOUGHT I WOULD ASK FOR OTHER CGs, FLIPs AND LITTLES help or to please reblog this if you can’t help with a donation in the way you’d like, if you felt the need to do so.

No pressure! But I’d truly appreciate anyone who does pitch in forever n ever. You’ve helped me in the past so let’s help a fellow member of the LGBTQIA, disabled CG community! Please reblog if you can to other CGs you think can help, but only if they wouldn’t mind! c:

I’ll be taking all donations through Venmo and Cashapp if sent. I’ve listed them below:

CA: $KiDeon

VM: HyghKite

I’m really worried this time. His credit has gotten bad. And he already can’t afford to get the therapist he wished he had and I’m worried about his leg disorders getting worse as well. He’s tried everything: sold things, worked extra hard almost every day and even took out loans. I’m worried he’s drowning inside and I just can’t let him lose his utilities and house while we have an extreme heat wave in the desert. Today it was 115 degrees F. :((

Thank you for reading this message so far. We both really appreciate it! We both hope you all have a super awesome night, regardless of whether you assist or not. You deserve to deserve things. Remember that my lil strawberry shaped constellations. Stay sweet n smol. Big in charge. :33

Shoutout to introjects who’s fandom consistently sees them as a caregiver when in system they’re actually a regressor

And shoutout anyone in between, I see you, remember that you’re your own valid person and other peoples baseless notions don’t define you and your experience
