Yallllllllll

Its convention season and I’m STRUGGLING

So I’m in the process of getting disability and I had to quit my job because my chronic pain just couldn’t handle the type of work even though I loved it; my spine said “no”

Anyway, my beanies are my biggest seller at conventions but I currently do not have the money to restock.

I have like ten left of this design:

And I think if I sell out I can afford to restock all 4 of my designs

Here’s a few more of my popular designs that I know my girls, gays, theys, and disabled people will love.

I really need some support here because I love my art and the community I’ve built around it. So if you can’t afford to shop that’s okay. I’d really appreciate a reblog and I’d love to shitpost with you in my discord server.

Being asked to rate your pain on a scale as someone who has had chronic pain for several years is so difficult. Like how am I supposed to rate the pain I am experiencing from 1-10 when I have no idea what it feels like to not be in pain. Like what is 0? what is 1?? what is even 10???? What am I comparing it to???? My 5 can be someone else's 10 and their 10 can be someone else's 2, and how is a doctor or anyone else for that matter supposed to tell the difference? Maybe it's because I'm autistic and I'm just overthinking it but it literally makes no sense to me.

Invisible illness is still an illness!!!

Chronic pain that you can push through 99% of the time is still chronic pain!!!

Chronic illness means that sometimes you have to rain check with your friends because you can't control when it gets bad.

Don't push yourself, its ok to not be ok.

Just got diagnosed!! Keep fighting for your diagnosis someone will eventually give you an answer. Good luck to those who don't know what's wrong.

I was talking to my mom about mobility aids and also said that I am going to buy compression socks/gloves and she got SO mad, she told me those things are for old people and that I'm not going to use any of those things, even if I pay for them myself, all because "you're only 19, you DON'T need them!!" I'm so tired

i remember being ten years old and wishing to die rather than experience the pain i was in yet still my parents and my doctors didn’t believe me. sometimes it just hits me. that wasn’t a normal experience for a ten year old, was it?

I hate the look on able-bodied people's faces when you can't do a thing that you could do the day before. The look of disappointment, confusion, the "Oh but you could do it before. Are you SURE you can't do it?" Like yes, Brenda, I'm sure that I am in too much pain to function/move from my bed right now so going for a walk when I could move 50 feet yesterday without my cane IS too much.

Health update for those who care:

Had a hypomanic episode because I forgot to pick up my antispsychotics

Which led to me overdoing physical activity and therefore a BAD pain flare up that I’m still going through

I have received confirmation via MRI and ultrasound that my ankle has in fact been sprained for six years. My other ankle has considerable damage as well.

Several doctors have mentioned EDS (hypermobile and Classical) to me based on the type of ligament and tendon damage I have

I need to get injections in my ankles and then surgery on the bad one. At least there’s a solution!

Anyways hi I’m back!
