this is just a little rant, i suppose.

I didn’t expect the first time I heard somebody comment on my mobility aid to feel so ...icky. It was just some grown woman saying “Why does she need that...?” while I stood in line and then an “oh, never mind,” when my leg gave out and I caught myself on my stick.

The thing is, she was right behind me.

I’m disabled, not oblivious. I was fully aware she was talking about me and I couldn’t respond because I felt like I was going to fall and needed to leave ASAP. Her indescretion has embarrassed the both of us.

In conclusion: It is R U D E to comment upon other people within their hearing/awareness and if you are going to do it, I advise you to think better of it.

Joker meme. I don’t know how to describe it, but it features the Joker with the hands rised. Text reads:

“Be an autistic who uses headphones, with Crohn’s disease, C-PTSD, and chronic but mild leg pain, and no one bats an eye.- “Use a cane to deal with the mild leg pain so you can have more energy to do stuff and everyone loses their minds.”

I withdrew from my college classes the other day. It’s one of the hardest decisions I’ve had to make, but it was either my classes or my mental/physical well-being and I know which of those is more important.

It’s also important to me that I’m self conscious enough not to blame or gaslight myself about my illness. Just because I don’t know what it is yet doesn’t make it imaginary. I know I’m not using it as an excuse to be lazy, and yet some part of me is unconvinced. I guess that’s something I’ll work on in myself.

maybe this seems a little personal, but I wanted to get it out of my system.

that feeling when your tests come back normal and you start wondering whether or not you’re a hypochondriac
