Being the only disabled person in a friend group is like. Argues against mental age for 30 minutes without achieving anything because they will die if they cant call developmentally disabled adults 6 year olds. Feel guilty for cancelling plans for disability reasons and making up a lie so you dont have to tell the truth. Get called a cripple after explaining your symptoms. Get told nothing is ever the doctors fault because they work soooo hard and you're just not persistent enough. Realize the only way theyd ever do even minor caregiving tasks for you is if they were paid. Spend an hour arguing against eugenics. Listen to someone talk about a group of disabled people and with every sentence it gets more obvious they never interacted with anyone from this group personally. Get compared to peoples elderly relatives. Get -

I think it would really benefit people to internalize that mental illnesses are often chronic and not acute. Some of us will never be able to jump the hurdle of managing illness, much less sustaining a sense of normalcy. Many of us will never "recover," will never manage symptoms, will never even come close to appearing normal - and this is for any condition, even the ones labeled as "simple" disorders or "easy-to-manage" disorders.
It isn't a failure if you cannot manage your symptoms. It isn't a moral failure, and you aren't an awful person. You are human. There's only so much you can do before recognizing that you cannot lift the world. Give yourself the space to be ill because, functionally, you are.

robert chase one of the characters of all time. hes blonde. he went to seminary school. he purposefully murdered a patient. he’s a vapid slut. allergic to strawberries. was caption of his college bowling team. desperately needs to be on antidepressants. he’s divorced. his ex-wife was/is in love with his dadboss. it’s heavily implied that this is part of why he married her to begin with. he’s been fired multiple times but he keeps coming back like a fucked-up obedient boomerang. he’s the best surgeon in the hospital. all this while having the personality of a sopping wet cardboard box of corn flakes that somebody poured milk into and let mildew.

Tim, scratching at his arm: there's a fucking mosquito in here and I can't catch him
Dick: oh shit hold on. Jasooooon?
Jason, not looking up from his book but holding out his hand: give it.
Dick, grinning and handing him a slipper:
Jason, flicking his slipper and crushing the mosquito against the wall beside Tim: handled.
Tim, bewildered: did you just snipe a mosquito with a house shoe???
Dick, wheezing as he snatches the remote from Tim: there we go, all the finesse of a Hispanic mom. Thanks, Jay.
Jason, invested in the fifteenth chapter of his book: mhm.

Hi fellow under medicated chronically ill and disabled homies. If you read this, it's your sign to take your "just in case" medication if you need it. I was in excruciating pain this morning and you know the drill, wasn't gonna take my painkillers just because, you know, waiting for it to get worse lmao?? My s/o gave them to me and, wow, who would've guess, it is now so much easier to get out of bed and move on with my day (you can insert a shocked Pikachu face here).
So yeah, grab those meds homie. If it is really bad now it probably won't be better in a few hours and it will cost you spoonies to suffer anyway. So if you can ease it up just a little, do it.

Friendly neighbourhood reminder:
If you’re sick, it is so easy to feel overwhelmed, catastrophize, be in a low mood and so hard to self regulate.
Don’t think about your life. Don’t believe the things your brain tells you about you and your life.
Just be sick. Focus on rest, hydration, sleep, nutrition.
And, if life won’t allow you to engage in self care, just focus on getting through the day and remember it’s so hard because you’re sick.

ADHD isn't silly or quirky. it can hinder productivity, create a cycle of overcommitting and overextending to keep up with life, can give rise to feelings of guilt for things like resting and overall impacts relationship health (just to name a few). it's hard to manage and it's miserable.
