Americans be like "I'm affected by the war" stfu. This isn't even fucking funny how out of touch this is to say.

Living with chronic pain at an age where everyone thinks you should be healthy and whole is such a mind fuck because if I'm not visibly in pain or showing them struggling then people disregard it invisible illnesses and the people living with them deserve respect.

when do you stop grieving for the life you thought you’d have? like, does that happen?

I stopped grieving for a life in high tech, a high energy life with lots of traveling, once I found a job that worked for me.

I found that if you find something you can do relatively painlessly and that you like doing, you become more accepting of your state and situation. For me, it was private teaching and special education. *part time, not full time. Gotta keep your health in mind even when you do things you want to*

I won't lie, sometimes I still think of the life I wanted when I was healthier, but now, I am fulfilled and happy.

I hope that one day you get to find something that makes you happy, if it's drawing, acting, playing, crocheting, teaching, soap making... if it makes you money, that's a plus. But keeping you busy is enough to help you, sometimes.

STOP TELLING DISABLED PEOPLE TO EAT ORGANIC TO FIX THEIR DISABILITIES.

STOP TELLING DISABLED PEOPLE THEY'RE JUST "UNFIT" AND WORKING OUT WILL FIX THEIR DISABILITIES.

STOP TELLING DISABLED PEOPLE THAT THEY'RE JUST MENTALLY ILL AND GETTING THERAPY WILL FIX THEIR DISABILITIES.

STOP TELLING DISABLED PEOPLE MODERN MEDICINE IS MAKING THEM DISABLED.

STOP BLAMING DISABILITIES ON VACCINES.

If you've ever told a person who's had to be bedbound for a period of time that you wish you could "just stay in bed", DO IT.

Stay in bed. For days. But don't get up if someone needs you to, or you get bored, or you get antsy. Don't do anything other than rest. Just lie in your bed, whether you need to get stuff done around the house or socialize or anything else "productive". You'll have to cancel on people, you'll disappoint them, they won't understand.

And if you're thinking, "well, i CAN'T just be in bed. There's stuff that has to be done - I have plans", maybe ask yourself why you assumed a disabled person doesn't have plans or things to do or desires.

Some people don’t want to hear this but sometimes accessibility is not sustainable or eco-friendly. Disabled people sometimes need straws, or pre-made meals in plastic containers, or single-use items. Just because you can work with your foods in their least processed and packaged form doesn’t mean everyone else can.

"everyone should care about accessibility because most people will become disabled at some point in their life" is a logical argument and I understand its popularity

however, everyone should care about accessibility because disabled people are fellow human beings living in the same society as you who deserve the same rights as you

thank you good night
