Truth

[oldmclillian-hadafarm]

Normalise mourning the life you may have had before chronic illness took over.

Plot twist for all the "I'd kill myself if I was as disabled as you" crowd:

If you were in my position, you wouldn't BE spending all day in bed. You'd be abusing your body by forcing yourself to work a job and just "tough it out" when you make yourself sicker. If you had to put up with the level of medical abuse that I do, you'd just swear off the medical field entirely and claim "big pharma" is good for nothing and only wants your money and to keep people sick.

No one actually tells you to stay in bed and rest when you're disabled. Overcoming internalized ableism comes in many phases, one of which is making the radical decision to stay in bed and rest if you're disabled.

You wouldn't kill yourself if you were me, because with your attitude, you could never BE me, and that's really fucking pathetic.

"Disabled people can do everything abled people can!1!1!!" I'm gonna have to ask you what you think disabled means

[oldmclillian-hadafarm]

I need to stop comparing myself to abled-bodied people.

"you're so strong" "you're so resilient" "you're so brave" what if I don't want to be? what if I want to break down and cry? why do I have to be strong?

I'll say something, this is my personal opinion, but for me, Eris and Lucien are hotter than The Bat Boys. Yes, it has always been that way for me and it always will be.

Eris and Lucien>>>>>>The Bat Boys

This is the truth.

Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!

distal arthrogryposis awareness post

so i have a physical disability called distal arthrogryposis! a rare, but less severe version of arthrogryposis. and i have the even less severe form of damc which makes it hard to even find any doctor wanting to take me on. i still have contracted hands and feet, but i can "use" them for a short period.

chronic pains are the worse when it comes to my disability due to the fact my bones are contracted. i also have less bones in my feet with the addition of no achilles tendon!

there is nothing to fix it. the surgeries they did on me as a child practically worsened my chance to get better. so i am a forever wheelchair user and may end up degrading over time until i am permanently in one and no longer ambulatory.

Since the Paralympics are happening and I’m seeing all sorts of people saying “See? This person doesn’t let their disability stop them!”

I would like you to remember that Paralympions are OLYMPIC LEVEL ATHLETES.

How would it feel if I compared your output to that of a literal olympic athlete and used that to justify not helping you or giving you what you need?

Oh, well Michael Phelps and Simone Biles can do it - why can’t you?

Thats how you sound.
