being disabled is so fun because sometimes you can just be going about your day like normal and with zero warning your body will be like you have to lay down Right Now or you will pass out

It's a lot healthier to go for a daily walk than to sign up for a gym membership you won't be using because you hate that kind of exercise. It's a lot healthier to eat a frozen meal than to skip a meal because you were too tired to cook something healthy. It's a lot healthier to take a quick shower than to procrastinate an elaborate routine for days. Don't aim so high that you won't be hitting anything!

do able-bodied bodied people not understand that if disabled people call out of work every time they don't feel good that we would call out of work every fucking day?

like honestly. what do you think being disabled means?

Some people don’t understand and/or recognize the immense amount of strength it takes to pull yourself out of a dark place mentally. So if you did that and defeated depression, anxiety, or self-hate I’m so proud you.

I don't know who needs to hear this but:

-"it only hurts a little" is still pain

-"I can ignore it" is still pain

-"I can cope with/manage it" is still pain

-"it's bearable" is still pain

-"I can push through it" is still pain

-"it doesn't hurt that much" is still pain

-"it doesn't stop me from doing x" is still pain

You don't need to be in agonizing pain to be in pain.

Right so I’ve been signed off work for another 2 weeks following complications from my cervical punch biopsy.

If you don’t know what that is it’s when they basically take a bit of your cervix tissue using a glorified hole punch and then send you on your way.

Anyways 2 weeks on it’s been decided I have an infection and me being in and out of hospital with pain, a temperature and nausea finally needed some antibiotics.

Fingers crossed I’m better soon but I’m more than happy to write some posts about this stuff if people are interested.

“people can’t handle any mental illness other than anxiety and depression” bestie people can’t even handle anxiety and depression if it has any real impact on your life

learning that people want you in their lives is a skill you can develop if it does not come naturally
