That constant struggle between “I can’t show my symptoms or I’ll be a burden” and “why doesn’t anyone realize I’m suffering?”

Just because you “function” doesn’t mean you don’t deserve help.

I mean, yeah, all the time. But it’s fine.
... ooooh. Huh. Damn. Did it again.
How many times have you said “I’m just tired” like it’s nothing? To downplay your illness because you don’t want to sound like you’re complaining too much.

YOUR DISABILITY IS STILL FUCKING REAL, EVEN IF SOME IGNORANT FUCKBUCKET DOESN’T BELIEVE YOU!!!
THEIR OPINION DOESN’T MAKE YOU A LIAR - IT JUST MAKES THEM WRONG!!! YOU DESERVE UNDERSTANDING, COMPASSION AND EQUITY!!!

I’m getting really sick of being called a “chronic illness warrior.” I mean I get that every day is a struggle, struggle :: battle, so patient :: warrior and all that. But a battle implies an end - being a warrior implies you can win. Even if I manage to minimize my symptoms, I will never win. Ehlers Danlos is genetic. It will always be part of me and it will slowly grind my body down to nothing.
I prefer to think of myself as a Chronic Illness Salmon. I’m just flopping upstream as best I can, trying to be the best salmon I’m capable of being, hoping I don’t get eaten by a U.S. Healthcare Bear. Just flopping along doing the best I can until I reach my spawning grounds and it’s time for me to die.

Austin, TX - Millionaire media mogul Steven Beard wakes up one night to find his belly had burst wide open, with no idea how it happened. The truth would involve a love triangle, a shotgun, and a whole helluva lot of money. **Bonus - conversation with a real-live lawyer about just what the hell “capital murder” is.
Listen to the full story here!

Found a way to fill the housebound hours, y’all.
We’re on tumblr now, y’all!
Not just on Podbean, though. You can find us in a whole buncha places.
