If you don’t have means to a therapist or mental health professional

Check out therapistaid.com. There’s worksheets there that you can download for free.

Of course it would be a lot more beneficial if you have a therapist to help you through it but not everyone has access to one.

It’s a free site where you can have free downloads of worksheets on many things.

If there’s something there that you think would be helpful, print it out and complete the worksheet on your own.

It’s hard to be accountable for yourself but at least there’s a way for you to have some insight and work on yourself.

Also if you use these in conjunction with the app Wysa

CORPSE BRIDE 2005 | dir. Tim Burton

fandomsandfeminism

“What? Like, a disabled protagonist? How would that even work? How could someone with a disability be the hero in an action show?” local anime trash boy wonders while sitting next to his box sets of Full Metal Alchemist, showing no hint of irony or self awareness.

but is Ed really disabled? sure I get he lost his arm and leg

but he’s still able to move and do things perfectly

fandomsandfeminism

He has prosthetics. Having prosthetic limbs (that more than once break amd need repair) doesnt make him not disabled

ladyloveandjustice

It should also be noted that Ed:

-had to undergo very painful surgery to get automail

-had to relearn how to write because of his prosthesis (there’s a post going around showing he had to switch hands etc) and his handwriting is likely a lot worse due to that. This means automail isn’t super good for delicate work, unsurprising, considering what it’s made of.

-experiences phantom limb pain and therefore other associated stuff (this was only really shown in the manga)

-cannot go anywhere too cold without changing his automail or he’ll get really bad frost bite and it will stop working

-cannot go anywhere too hot, period, because the metal attached and under his skin will overheat and he will be badly burned

-Reattachment is painful, but needs to be done frequently if he breaks or outgrows his automail

- it’s HEAVY so much so that the strain has the potential to cause stress on his body, enough that it’s even theorized as possibly stunting his growth.

-it requires regular maintenance or it will break down, as shown when he forgets to do that and it…breaks down

-when it does need to be repaired, it takes time to do that, during which Ed uses regular prosthetics (that usually don’t quite fit him).

-costs a lot of money (not a problem for Ed due to high state alchemist salary/having mechanics as surrogate family, but explicitly noted to being the reason why most people in the fmaverse stick to regular prosthetics along with the painful surgery)

So Ed can’t actually do everything perfectly and experiences a lot of extra hassle, problems and pain people without automail don’t have to deal with! And any advantages he does have are more suited to fighting than day to day life (being able to incorporate weapons/fake out people who want to blow up his arm).

Arakawa did her research and thought it through. Automail is by no means a magic cure that solves all problems associated with losing a limb.

I’m kinda sad these two might not count.

fandomsandfeminism

Why wouldn’t they? Hiccup is missing a leg

cruisinforarubberman

But he doesn’t struggle.

fandomsandfeminism

Disability isn’t defined by” struggle” or suffering. Having a useful prosthetic doesn’t make them not disabled. Get the fuck out of here with that.

DISABILITY ISN’T DEFINED BY SUFFERING OR STRUGGLE

lovethemfiercely

I will also point out (quietly, because that last point was SO important) that choosing not to show it on screen does not necessarily indicate a lack of either adaptation or difficulty. It might simply be none of our business.

saturninefeline-deactivated2019

Reblogging for that last comment…it’s really creepy how voyeuristic people act about it sometimes. Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean they’re not struggling…and their apparent struggle or lack thereof isn’t what “grants” them disabled status. It’s the fact of having a disability.

barlowstreet

Also that’s just… not true. Hiccup DOES struggle sometimes and there’s a couple instances of them showing it. The Christmas special Gift of the Night Fury (which I am not even kidding, is canon, they reference it in the third movie) shows him having trouble on ice (you know, metal leg) and the movies do occasionally show him having a little trouble getting around.

A struggle because of a disability doesn’t have to be the most extreme thing. It can be a little extra annoyance that just makes things a little harder, or makes someone not able to do things like others would. Like a movie not having captions so a Dead/HoH person can’t watch it.

noping-out-deactivated20241117

“But they have functional prosthetics so are they really disabled?”

Do you know the definition of the word disabled. Have you ever looked up what a disability is.

What the fuck is even happening here.

birger-wuvs-elsa

Also, Toothless very much does count as a disabled character as well, since he legitimately cannot fly without a prosthetic fin on his tail.

Plus, in HTTYD 2, Valka proceeds to introduce her son to several dragons who became disabled as a result of injuries from traps: one with a torn wing, one with a missing foot, and another that’s entirely blind. Plus, there’s Gobber, who’s missing two whole limbs! He has a gangling walk from his peg leg, and has to deliberately switch “hands” with his other and cannot always be properly equipped. We need not get into Drago, but the point remains that Hiccup, Gobber, and these dragons very much are disabled characters.

One could easily call Sol Regem of The Dragon Prince disabled as well, since the burns on his face completely and utterly ruined his sight. He can go by smell and hearing only, which was the saving grace of two beings that he normally would’ve been able to kill within moments. Plus, there’s the ever lovely General Amaya…who is deaf and communicates predominantly by sign and lip reading.

Plus, there’s the ever famous Toph, who while she greatly improved her life when she mastered vibration sight, it’s still imperfect. She still would rely on her friends when she couldn’t properly see (read, during the airship fight during the finale, or when they were putting up Appa’s Lost posters). Plenty of other disabled characters were also shown there.

But nothing else I can say can better enunciate the point than: Disability isn’t defined by” struggle” or suffering.

aliceliddellsmirror

anyone who says a disabled person doesn’t struggle, doesn’t know the fucking meaning of struggling. We hide more from the world than you could ever imagine.

randomslasher

Adapting to a disability IS a struggle, period. Even if we’re good at it. ESPECIALLY if we managed to get good at it.

I get around pretty good with my chronic pain disability but I also 1) use a grabber to pick things up off the ground; 2) had to switch cars for something taller to get into and out of; 3) had to buy a seat cushion and use rolled-up blankets behind my lumbar spine for stability and support; 4) avoid heavy lifting of any kind; 5) use a cane or walking stick on bad days or when walking long distances; 6) rely on daily use of pain medication; 7) get 3 injections of steroids into my spine a year; 8) sleep on a couch because a regular bed doesn’t support my low back the way I need it to; 9) limit my travel due to my inability to comfortably sleep in unfamiliar places, and 10) rely a LOT on those around me to help with the things I cannot do.

This was just a small number of the adaptations I’ve made to accommodate my disability, and you’d better believe they were painful and difficult when I was creating them. Figuring out how to sleep at night so I don’t wake up every couple hours in debilitating pain was a struggle. Realizing I had physical limitations and coming to terms with them at a young age was a struggle. Understanding there are things I love that I can no longer safely do (horseback riding, bowling, riding roller coasters, and half a dozen others) was a struggle. Realizing and coping with how little the medical profession cares about my pain is a constant struggle.

Whether you see me visibly limping when you pass me on the street is irrelevant. I’m still struggling, just not in ways you understand.

Also I’ve never really seen Matt Murdock used as a case of disability rep so I’m just putting that out there

I just want to remind everyone how affordable buying food from indigenous tribes is. I live in a major city and I was able to purchase and ship (15) pounds of fish from back home to myself for cheaper than I could buy it from a grocery store here in the city. Yeah, shipping has its own environmental factors but I was able to support an indigenous owned business while also getting my groceries at a lesser cost. (Buying in bulk is always a good idea if you’re planning on having something shipped to you)

Some tribal owned grocers that ship:

Bow and Arrow (Ute Mountain)

Native Harvest (White Earth)

Red Lake Fishery (Red Lake)

Wozupi (Mdewakanton Dakota)

Ramona Farms (Gila River)

Tanka Bars (Oglala)

Indian Pueblo Store (Pueblos)

Twisted Cedar Wine (Cedar Paiutes)

Ute Bison (Ute)

Seka Hills Olive Oil and Vinegars (Yocha Dehe Wintun)

She Nah Nam Seafood (Nisqually)
