These are a compilation of tweets I found and saved on my phone as reminders for when I feel like I need to feel validated or reminded that I am a worthy person no matter what, and I thought you guys might need those too (part 1)

Please fucking lie to your employer. Like they don’t need to know your mental health issues or what drugs you do. Ffs

Being disabled is not a failure and does not make you “less than”.

You have so much value regardless of what you can and can’t do as a result of your disability.

I just want you to know that it’s okay if your capabilities vary day to day based on any number of factors. Just because you could do something before doesn’t mean you are failing because you can’t do it now.

It’s okay if your limits change. You are valid and your worth is not affected by what you can and can’t do.

We’re wrapping up June with some rainbow-themed stim toy giveaways on all of our social media channels. Enter to win the set shown in the photo by reblogging and/or commenting.

A random winner will be chosen on Saturday, June 27th at noon ET. For more chances to win, check out our Twitter, Facebook and Instagram giveaways too.

(And a special thank you to Aukquill for making and donating the bead lanyards.)

Photo description: Four rainbow-themed stim toys on a white background. The first is a rectangular chewable silicone necklace shaped like a xylophone or building block with pairs of raised bumps side by along its surface. Each pair of bumps is on a horizontal color band that together make up a red, orange yellow, green, blue, and violet rainbow. The next item is a plastic bead lanyard with a keyring at one end, made of beads that form a purple to brown/black to purple rainbow. The third item is a stainless steel ring with 3 rainbow striped plastic beads on it. The final item is a flip sequin mermaid tail key chain charm with rainbow sequins. It is quite a bit larger than any of the other items.

6 Questions to Ask Yourself

1. Will it really matter in a year? Or in six months?

2. Is this helping me to grow and become a better person?

3. Why does their opinion or approval matter to me?

4. Am I acting on my feelings? Am I likely to regret this?

5. What if I decided to do things differently?

6. What if I decided to write a choose who I will be instead of letting others decide my life for me?

“Don’t let your disability define you!!” just means,

“If you don’t make every effort to hide your disability, which I see as an inherent flaw, then I do not know how to treat you as an actual person.”

Unfortunately it never helped me because it just kept getting worse. I’m waiting for the better part, but it seems like I’ll be waiting indefinitely

I can't be the only one who actually found "it gets better" comforting. Sort of like counting down to the end of a really boring class. Sure, I was stuck in a bad situation I couldn't get out of - yet, and that yet was crucial to me. When I was super depressed or when I was dealing with abusive family members or when I was dealing with a break up or bullying or whatever, I always knew it was going to end, eventually, and even if it was going to take years, it's that "this ends, you're going to get out of it because others have, it gets better, it gets better, it gets better" mantra that helped me hold on. I'm starting to feel like I was the only one that held on to that, because people keep telling me "it gets better doesn't help" but it helped me? Even if you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just knowing it's a tunnel, knowing that if I put one foot in front of the other enough times, I will find an exit because there is an exit, that's enough for me. It still is.

rationally knowing that people have lives outside of me and they still care regardless of the amounts of attention I'm receiving from them < feeling like I don't matter at all or that everyone hates me
