people who are disabled don’t sit around all day doing nothing. even when we’re in bed, our bodies are raging a war inside of us at all times. it’s a 24/7, 365 days a year job. there’s no getting off at five. no weekends. no vacation time. being unable to work is not the luxury ableds make it out to be.

It's so hard to believe that I've had my big boy for 7 years, and it's so hard to believe that he's 10 years old this year. My fat boys getting old! #mainecoon #mainecoonmix #norwegianforestcat #norwegianforestcatmix https://www.instagram.com/p/ByFqDuXAvA1YVko_jeFveok7758Vx6M6qHxD1Y0/?igshid=uuzsr05j6wl5

Chronic Pain Fighters

In the U.S.A chronic pain Fighters are suffering quite horrifically right now, many people look at us as if we’re nothing but a drug addict but that is as far from the truth as it can get there are those that has become physically dependent on their medication but physical dependency and addiction are two COMPLETELY different things. Physical dependency is basically you must have the medication to have a normal life you don’t worry about withdrawals, however without the medication you are unable to function because of pain levels, while with addiction you can’t live without it you crave it and you will go to any means to get your high.

I am a fibromyalgia fighter I would give anything like so many people like me to have my life back, I had to give up nursing, having this disease has cause depression and so so many other problems. But that doesn’t make me an addict, those like me would give anything to get their old life back, to be normal again.

We don’t want to cancel plans, we don’t want to have such limited energy we sometimes can’t get out of bed that day, we’re not lazy, we’re sick, we are truly sick, we will always be sick, but we are not going to die from it because it’s not terminal.

We are overlooked, we are pushed to the side. We are treated like less than human because we have an invisible illness.

I know a few of you also fight this battle so please feel free to reblog this I’m trying to help raise awareness for something that so desperately needs it.

I’ve read every med side effects paper for all the tablets I take, and I’ve never gone “not worth it, don’t wanna risk being drowsy” it’s always been “into the mouth of the pain goblin you go my pretties!” because I’m willing to try anything to help

The worst part of a chronic illness is having the desire to be productive, but your body simply won’t. do. the. thing.

As disabled members of the lgbt community we should be celebrating marriage equality, right? but unfortunately us disabled people who rely on government support to survive risk losing everything and becoming totally financially reliant on our partners if we marry or even move in together.

“You walk at home? Do you even need your wheelchair?”

Yes, because walking in my own house is different than walking class to class at school. I don’t carry a heavy backpack at home. I’m not on a tight schedule at home. I can sit on the ground at home. I can ask my parents or siblings to help me at home. I can crawl on my hands and knees at home. I can lie in the middle of the hallway at home. I can sit on counters and tables at home. I can bear a lot of pain at home. I can show that pain at home. I can collapse in the middle of crawling up the staircase at home.

Don’t tell me or anyone else where or when they need to use their mobility device
