daily reminder that if you do not provide the same amount of care, respect and support to people with gi issues, to people who have to use the toilet a lot due to their disablility, to people who are incontinent, to people who vomit a lot, to people who have ibs, to people with chronic nausea, to people with bladder or bowel control issues, to people who use diapers, to people who cannot control their bodily functions, to people who drool, to people who smell bad due to an aspect of their disability, and to people who have any "gross" aspect to their disability that you do to those who have more "conventional" disabilities then you are not an ally.

If you live with debilitating stomach pain I see you, if you live with debilitating nausea I see you, if you live with a debilitating chronic illness I see you.

Truth be told most days as of lately I wanna give up. The idea of living with this body, a body that feels like so often is failing me, for the rest of my life sounds a level of exhausting I can’t even fully comprehend. Not only that, but people don’t talk how truly isolating it can be to live with an illnsss that affects your everyday life. An illness that affects your work life, social life, romantic life, literally all of it. If you’re someone who also finds yourself in this boat please know you aren’t alone. You’re not crazy, it’s not all just in your head, and your pain and symptoms are more than valid. I see you and you’re not alone.
