WeRateBathrooms

Hello Hello :] I am a queer chronically ill person, most relevantly living with Crohn’s. I keep getting stuck in public bathrooms so this is a way for me to make it more fun :D

Bathroom #6

Doctors office - a very disappointed 7/10

Positives: Very clean, always has an open stall, two hooks on the back of the door, a flat spot on the toilet paper holder to put your stuff

Negatives: this bathroom is at my GI office. their patients include a bunch of people who need immediate access to a restroom. they have started requiring a key to access it. I do not know why 😭

also, the water pressure is too high and sprays everywhere lol, and there is no background music to ease the awkwardness of not being alone

Bathroom #5

Fancy seafood restaurant - 3/10

Positives: smelled nice, plenty of stalls

Negatives: loud music, no paper towels only drier, and the stall doors were made of slats. You could not see in from the outside, but from inside you could see out to the sinks and people. My brain did NOT like this

😭 I’m actually so happy. I had a doctors appointment today and i’ve been suffering for the last two months. Not ONLY did he put me on a stronger biologic, he told me to call him more when I’m struggling and that I’m one of his favorite patients 😭😭

This is a threat

It can be easy to confuse the two, but you don't actually "wish you were more disabled", you wish your disability was taken seriously and was properly accommodated and that you had access to the support and resources you need - and that desire is so valid. You deserve more. But the sad truth is that no level of disability actually guarantees a sufficient level of support. So you have to work to separate your very understandable desire for more support from the incorrect assumption that other disabled people are consistently receiving what you aren't. All of us are getting fucked over in this society, and no group of disabled people actually has it easy.

:C I spend so much time telling myself that I don’t have a “real disability” because I don’t use a wheelchair or anything like that which is literally being ableist to myself cuz it was programmed into me as a kid :C but it does actually qualify if you look it up

Chronic illness sucks because you’ll catch yourself thinking shit like ‘I wish it was possible to bathe regularly’ or ‘they should invent a digestive system that doesn’t hurt’ and then realise… that’s actually the case for most people. That’s the norm. Not only do most people have that, they don’t even think about it

[weratebathrooms]

I really wish I could take a break from my digestive system. I’m so damn tired of having to think about and manage it every day.

Does anyone with Crohn’s have advice for this? I can’t and don’t want to just… stop eating for a bit. I know that would do more harm than good, but is there anything I can do? Maybe live off protein drinks and stuff for a day?

I’m just,, so tired. I wish I could be a plant

The horrors (tummy ache) persist yet we (me my self and I) venture forth with the power of friendship (sprite saltine crackers and tums)

[chronicallywilled]

Chronic illness has asked me to relearn my body, my pace, and my expectations.

I find hope in the idea that I’m in a “during” phase — that my old self isn’t gone, and my current self isn’t a finished product.

If you’re there too, you’re welcome to linger.

Sending love to everyone who has health issues or chronic pain in parts of your body that aren’t usually socially acceptable to talk about. It’s frustrating to feel like you can never explain your pain to someone because it’s TMI and to feel like you have to hide it. Your pain is nothing to be ashamed of. I see you, and I’m sending you support and strength.

Nothing like the bond between a chronically ill person and their emotional support bathroom
