When you’re chronically ill or disabled, a short task also requires an allotted recovery time or flare time. I can vacuum my bedroom in 10 minutes with difficulty, but then I need 2 more hours to rest because I exerted myself. I might even need an entire day to recover from a more difficult task. So a 10-minute task now becomes 2+ hours, and an hour task becomes a day. So when I ask someone else to do a task I can technically physically handle, it’s because they can do it in minutes and I need hours.

Your trauma is valid even if it took you years to realize it was trauma.

i have genuinely destroyed my entire life and can’t even handle the consequences

allow yourself multidimensionality, you are not one emotion, one trait, one story. you’re a million experiences and a million pieces

Wild concept that shouldn’t be wild and the coldest take ever: disabled adults are *adults* and not just children trapped in adult bodies

Disabled adults have sex

Disabled adults do drugs

Disabled adults curse

Disabled adults get piercings and tattoos

Disabled adults can make adult decisions and act and behave like adults because we are adults

It’s just so weird for people to constantly infantilize me all because of my mobility aids when I’m not a child!!!

It's my 21st bday today and I have nobody but my parents. I have no friends, no other family. miss who I used to be. I'm drunk as usual,, at least honey vodka is nice ig.

I'm so FUCKING SICK (hahaha) of drs being so judgemental and basing options solely on historical records. And other drs egotistical options so when u try to escape n find hope they're two faces to the same coin anyway.

Oh and don't even get me started on the inherent ableism in a system that's supposed to help disabled ppl. Ur EDSS is above 6.5 n u want treatment? Come back when u can walk byeeee!

Like ..what? Do my arms not matter? My swallowing? Speach? Bladder? Ableist cunt. I'm only 20!

Plot twist for all the "I'd kill myself if I was as disabled as you" crowd:

If you were in my position, you wouldn't BE spending all day in bed. You'd be abusing your body by forcing yourself to work a job and just "tough it out" when you make yourself sicker. If you had to put up with the level of medical abuse that I do, you'd just swear off the medical field entirely and claim "big pharma" is good for nothing and only wants your money and to keep people sick.

No one actually tells you to stay in bed and rest when you're disabled. Overcoming internalized ableism comes in many phases, one of which is making the radical decision to stay in bed and rest if you're disabled.

You wouldn't kill yourself if you were me, because with your attitude, you could never BE me, and that's really fucking pathetic.

Say it with me! Wheelchairs aren’t sad! Mobility aids aren’t sad! Mobility aids are instruments of freedom!
