Navigating Disability Services in Perth: Finding the Right Support for You or Your Loved One
Living with a disability can bring unique challenges, but with the right support system in place, individuals can lead empowered, independent, and fulfilling lives. In Western Australia, access to reliable and high-quality disability services Perth is more crucial than ever, as the demand for personalised and inclusive care continues to grow.
Whether you're a National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) participant, a family member seeking help for a loved one, or simply looking to understand the types of support available, this guide will walk you through the diverse range of disability services available in Perth and how to choose the right provider for your needs.
What Are Disability Services?
Disability services encompass a wide variety of supports designed to help individuals with physical, intellectual, sensory, or psychosocial disabilities. These services may be funded privately or through government programs such as the NDIS and can be tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual.
In Perth, disability services typically include:
Personal care and daily living support
Allied health and therapy services
Community participation and social inclusion
Supported Independent Living (SIL) and Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)
Transport and mobility assistance
Respite and short-term accommodation
Employment and skill development programs
With the increasing focus on person-centred care, providers of disability services Perth aim to empower individuals by supporting their goals, fostering independence, and encouraging meaningful participation in their communities.
The Role of the NDIS in Perth
Since its rollout, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has been a game-changer for individuals living with a disability. It provides funding directly to eligible Australians so they can access services that best support their personal goals and daily life.
In Perth, many service providers are NDIS-registered, ensuring they meet national standards of quality and safety. However, participants also have the option to work with unregistered providers if they are plan-managed or self-managed. The NDIS allows for a great degree of choice and control, making it easier than ever to find a provider that aligns with your needs and values.
When searching for disability services Perth, it’s important to consider the type of NDIS plan management you have, as it will determine which providers you can access.
Key Disability Services Available in Perth
Let’s explore some of the most common and essential disability services available across Perth:
1. In-Home Care and Daily Living Assistance
These services support individuals with tasks like personal hygiene, meal preparation, cleaning, and medication management. Many providers in Perth offer flexible scheduling and trained support workers who can deliver care in your home.
2. Therapy and Allied Health
Perth is home to a wide range of qualified therapists, including occupational therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists, and speech pathologists. These professionals work with participants to build skills, increase mobility, and support emotional wellbeing.
3. Community Access and Social Participation
Social inclusion is vital for overall wellbeing. Disability service providers help participants engage in community events, sports, hobbies, or group outings to encourage connection and personal growth.
4. Supported Accommodation
For individuals needing higher levels of support, Perth offers several SIL and SDA options, providing safe, structured, and accessible housing environments with 24/7 support.
5. Support Coordination
A valuable service for navigating the NDIS, support coordinators in Perth assist with understanding your plan, managing services, and achieving your goals more effectively.
How to Choose the Right Disability Service Provider in Perth
When searching for the best disability services Perth has to offer, it’s important to take your time and find a provider who aligns with your personal needs, lifestyle, and values.
Here are some key factors to consider:
Experience and specialisation: Does the provider have expertise in your specific condition or support needs?
Location and availability: Are they local to your area, and can they provide timely support?
Reputation and reviews: What do other participants and families say about their services?
Cultural awareness: Do they respect your background, language, and beliefs?
Flexibility and communication: Are they responsive and willing to adapt to changes in your routine?
Many Perth-based providers will offer an initial consultation or trial period so you can see if their services are the right fit before committing.
The Future of Disability Support in Perth
With growing investment in the disability sector and increased awareness of inclusion and accessibility, Disability Support provider continue to evolve to better serve participants and their families. From innovative technologies and inclusive community programs to specialised therapies and housing solutions, the future is bright for individuals seeking support in Perth.
The key is knowing where to look and being empowered to choose services that reflect your goals and values. Thanks to the flexibility of the NDIS and a strong network of compassionate, experienced providers across Perth, support is more accessible than ever before.
Final Thoughts
Finding the right disability services Perth can truly make a difference in the lives of individuals living with disabilities. Whether it’s help with daily tasks, professional therapy, supported accommodation, or social engagement, the right provider can offer the support and encouragement needed to thrive.
If you or your loved one are just beginning the journey, start by exploring your local providers, asking questions, and prioritising care that feels personal and empowering. The right support is out there—sometimes just around the corner.

A reminder that Glinda having either dyslexia/dysgraphia or a learning disability is canon in the Movieverse.

This is the same paper that we see her get back in this scene, in which we can see this was a large essay too.


There's nothing rushed to her handwriting, this was not an essay done at the last minute, and still, it shows several signs of a learning disability and/or dysgraphia.
Misspells her name in the second line
Wrong and inconsistent pronoun usage
Her margin spacing is consistent with someone who can't do proper syllable division
Immature transcription (see: writes her "um"s)
Limited vocabulary
Shows signs of: difficulty expressing ideas in writing, having a limited vocabulary, mispronouncing words or using a wrong word that sounds similar, and having trouble organizing what she wants to say. Those are all symptoms of a learning disability.
Less of a checklist sign, but her handwriting is very round and careful, while still not being consistently sized (see unfashionable). This and the margin sizes are very common in kids with bad dysgraphia who are made to take rigorous calligraphy courses to "fix the problem". Courses that work on the visual without remedying its underlying issues and causes. Form over content if you will.
Looking at this very blatant sign that she has a learning disability and immediately defaulting to calling her names (yes calling her stupid and saying Elphaba is a moronsexual for this counts), asking how she got into Shiz, or defending Dillamond in doing the very first thing teachers are told NOT to do with disabled students (re: calling attention to it in front of the entire class) is ableist!
#i got psychic damage seeing the replies to this pic by the wicked twitter page#and i'm making it everyone else's problem#Glinda was visibly struggling with even the concept of that class and a teacher's job is to provide guidance and support not judgement#learning disability#galinda upland#glinda upland#my beautiful princess with a disorder#there's so much to the read of neurodivergent glinda in this movie#one day i will do a full one on the autism TM#and on the basis for NPD glinda#wicked#Glinda is one of the most fascinating characters i've ever seen#she's my baby#i will defend her with my life

and this is also why i think that any meaningful community building/advocacy/support around madness/neurodivergence/mental illness needs to be founded on principles of liberation and abolition, and that we need to be able to distinguish between people who are allies based on our shared values + goals, and between people who use some of the same language as us, but are fundamentally advocating for separate things.
One example I see a lot of is the idea of "lived experience" professionals, people who have a career in the mental health system and who also have some personal experience with mental illness. These professionals oftentimes will talk about their own negative experiences in the mental health system, and come into their careers with a genuine desire to improve the experience of patients. But their impact is incredibly limited by the system they have chosen to work in: the coercive elements of psychiatry incentivize professionals to buy into the existing power structures instead of disrupting them. And as a whole, many lived experience professionals end up getting exploited and tokenized by their employers and used as an attempt to make carceral psychiatry seem more palatable. Professionals in this dynamic are not working to effectively challenge the structural violence of their profession: they become complicit, even if they do also have good intentions and provide individual support.
(I do know some radical providers who have found innovative ways to fuck up the system and destabilize and shift power in their workplaces, but this is a very small number of providers and is not most of the lived experience providers I've talked with.)
Another example I see a lot in our spaces has to do with the evolution of the neurodiversity paradigm. I feel a very deep connection to the original conceptualization of neurodiversity and neurodivergent as coined by Kassiane Asasumasu, but in recent years I've seen a lot of people using neurodivergent language in a way that feels pretty dramatically different than the foundational principles. This isn't saying that people should stop using ND terminology or that all neurodivergent spaces are like this--rather, I just want to point out some trends I see in certain communities, both online and in my in personal life. Although people will often use neurodivergent language and on the surface, seem allied with concepts of deinstitutionalization, acceptance, etc, the values and structure in these community spaces often rely heavily on ideas of classification based in DSM, and build very prescriptive and rigid models for categorizing different types of neurodivergence in a way that ends up excluding some M/MI/ND people. Certain types of knowledge are valued over other types of knowledge, and certain diagnoses are prioritized as worthy of support over others. There's a lot of value placed on identifying and classifying many types of behaviors, beliefs, thoughts, actions, into specific categories, and a lack of solidarity between different diagnoses or the wider disability community.
Again, this isn't to say that ND terminology is bad or useless--I think it is an incredibly helpful explanatory model/shorthand for finding community and will call myself neurodivergent, and find a lot of value in community identification and sharing of wisdom. I just feel like it's important to realize that not every ND person, organization, or initiative, is actually invested in the project of fighting for our liberation.
when thinking about our activism, as abolitionists, it's important to be very specific about what our goals, values, and tactics are. For example, understanding the concept of non-reformist reforms helps us distinguish what immediate goals are useful, versus what reforms work to increase the carceral power of the psychiatric system. And when building our own value systems and trying to build alternative ways of caring for ourselves and our communities, we need to be able to evaluate what brings us closer to autonomy, freedom, and interdependence. I need people to understand that just because someone is also against psych hospitalization does not mean that they are also allies in the project of letting mad people live free, authentic, meaningful, and supported lives, and that oftentimes people's allyship is conditional on our willingness to conform to their ideas of a "good" mentally ill person.
#personal#psych abolition#mad liberation#surviving psych#antipsych#neurodivergent#also to be clear i'm not saying any of this as a way to say some people are more or less disabled than others#or that becoming a provider makes you no longer neurodivergent or something#but rather this is discussion of activism + strategy + goals + tactics#not a commentary on "who counts as disabled or who deserves support#this is talking about: how do we build the type of world where mad people are liberated and how can we tell who is also working towards tha

to my fellow creatives: never stop making art. art is an act of protest.
#i know that this is outside of what i normally post but a few days have passed and i've had time to think#the results of the US elections are hitting me really hard. i feel so gutted and betrayed and have no idea who the hell to trust anymore#so with that being said#I just want it to be abundantly clear that I am anti-Tr*ump and if you voted or support him in any way just unfollow me#actually do me a favor and block me#you do not deserve to read and enjoy art made by me if you think i don't deserve the right to fucking exist.#support black lives#free palestine#very fucking pro-choice#queer lives matter#disabled lives matter#i dislike the performative act of providing a list like this is a menu at a restaurant but i want there to be NO DOUBT where i stand.#there are many others who are more qualified and smarter than me to speak but i want to make it very clear to my followers where i stand.#and before someone says 'keep politics out of art' shut the actual fuck up. art and consuming art is and always will be political#and the only art worth anything is made by people like me and people who I love and support#and don't think it's only the US. the issues we have here are just as present in canada europe and asia and everywhere else.#there's so much more that i could say but that's all for now. my inbox is open.

In this post, I use "caregiver" and "support provider" to mean someone who majorly supports you with life functions (like bADLs and ADLs). This might be a healthcare provider, family member, 1:1 support staff, friend, or someone else. They may or may not be paid to do this job.
They might help do things like feed you, help you with toileting, drive you, moving you from place to place, help with finances, keep your house clean, scheduling appointments, or provide 24/7 support.
This post is not asking about if you are an underage person who is under the care of your parents because you are a child.
If you are underage, you might still have or need a caregiver, but I am asking about a caregiver who helps with your disability specifically. Not just because you are a minor.

Couples who are considering having kids ask yourself if you’re willing and have the physical, financial, and emotional capacity to care for a profoundly disabled child before getting pregnant challenge
#I’m fascinated by ‘regretful parents’ internet and half of them are literally because the kid is disabled#half of them are parents who feel bad that they brought a child into suffering against their will and you feel bad and the other half are#just like I hate my disabled kid#also majority of those parents say something along the lines of ‘having a disabled kid never crossed my mind’ and that baffles me#I have a whole slew of reasons I don’t want kids many of them more important#but one is that if my child was disabled I know I would not have the emotional capacity to provide unconditional love and support#I also don’t want to be pregnant so this would be like if I adapted a baby whatever you get what I mean#a big reason I don’t want kids in general is that I don’t believe I have the emotional capacity to love unconditionally and devote my entire#being to them which is what every child deserves in a parent#and it’s hard to blame those parents because you can see it#but it just confuses me how many of them are shocked#I get being upset but no they are shocked#I can’t wait to grow old with my future wife in a healthy relationship with no kids and so many pets#I can 100% say I would not be a good parent and I refuse to make a child suffer because I want to reap the benefits of parenthood#rae’s rambles

physical disabilities can put people at higher risks for mental illnesses! having a spinal cord injury makes you significantly more likely to have depression, suicidal ideation, and self-harm. if we want a world where mental illness is taken seriously and treated, physically disabled people need access to resources to better their quality of life as well as mental health support.
#disability#disability rights#mental health#mental disability#physical disability#i’m mad at how often physically disabled people’s very valid reasons for experiencing hopelessness are overlooked#structural supports not provided because therapy or even *getting over it* would work#give disabled people access to healthcare—mobility aids—assistance—or we will not have inclusive mental healthcare

Choosing the Right NDIS Service Provider: What You Need to Know
Navigating the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can be overwhelming at first, but finding the right NDIS service provider can make all the difference. Whether you're just starting with your NDIS plan or looking to get more out of your current supports, selecting the right provider ensures that you receive the care, services, and support tailored to your unique goals and lifestyle.
In this guide, we’ll explore what an NDIS service provider is, the types of services they offer, how to choose one that fits your needs, and why working with the right provider can be life-changing.
What Is an NDIS Service Provider?
An NDIS service provider is an individual, organisation, or business registered (or unregistered) to deliver support and services to participants of the NDIS. These providers help people living with disabilities access the resources, therapy, care, and support they need to live independently and participate more fully in their communities.
NDIS providers can assist with a wide range of services, including:
Daily personal activities
Therapy and allied health
Supported independent living
Community participation
Transport services
Plan management and coordination
Employment and training support
Home modifications and assistive technology
You can choose to work with either registered or unregistered providers, depending on how your NDIS plan is managed.
Registered vs. Unregistered NDIS Providers
A registered NDIS service provider has met the strict quality and safety requirements set by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. These providers are regularly audited and must adhere to the NDIS Code of Conduct.
Unregistered providers can still offer high-quality services, but they are not monitored by the NDIS Commission. If your plan is agency-managed, you can only use registered providers. However, if your plan is self-managed or plan-managed, you have the flexibility to work with both registered and unregistered providers.
When choosing between the two, consider your preferences around safety, flexibility, and budget.
Why Choosing the Right NDIS Service Provider Matters
The right provider doesn’t just deliver a service—they become a partner in helping you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life. A good NDIS service provider will:
Respect your individuality and preferences
Communicate clearly and regularly
Deliver reliable and consistent services
Help you build your independence and capacity
Involve you in planning and decision-making
Choosing the wrong provider, on the other hand, can lead to frustration, poor service quality, and missed opportunities in your NDIS journey.
What to Look for in an NDIS Service Provider
Here are some key factors to consider when comparing providers:
1. Experience and Specialisation
Look for a provider with experience relevant to your specific needs. Some providers specialise in mental health, while others focus on physical disabilities, autism, or complex care.
2. Flexibility and Availability
Can they accommodate your schedule and preferences? Do they offer services in your area, or are they willing to come to your home? A flexible NDIS service provider can adapt their support to suit your lifestyle.
3. Transparency and Communication
Trustworthy providers are open about their services, pricing, and processes. They communicate clearly and involve you in all decisions related to your care.
4. Staff Qualifications
Ensure that the staff are qualified, trained, and respectful. Ask about their credentials and whether they undergo ongoing professional development.
5. Reviews and Testimonials
Look for reviews from other NDIS participants. Word-of-mouth, online testimonials, and participant stories can give you valuable insight into the provider’s reputation and service quality.
Questions to Ask When Meeting a Provider
Before committing to a provider, consider asking:
What services do you offer under the NDIS?
Are you a registered NDIS provider?
Can you customise support plans to meet my goals?
How do you ensure consistency in support workers?
What are your cancellation policies and fees?
How do you handle feedback or complaints?
Asking the right questions ensures you're making an informed choice.
Changing Providers
Remember, you have the right to change your ndis service provider Sydney at any time. If you're not satisfied with the services or if your needs change, you can explore other options that better align with your goals. All changes should be documented and communicated with your plan manager or support coordinator to avoid service disruption.
Final Thoughts
The NDIS is all about giving people living with disabilities greater choice and control. A reliable, experienced, and person-centred NDIS service provider can empower you to live more independently, connect with your community, and reach your personal goals.
Take your time to research, ask questions, and find a provider who truly understands and supports your journey. The right partnership can unlock new possibilities and create a pathway to a brighter, more fulfilling future.

The Essential Role of Disability Community Support Workers: Empowering Lives and Fostering Inclusion
Disability community support workers are the unsung heroes who play a crucial role in enhancing the lives of individuals with disabilities. Their dedication, compassion, and expertise provide invaluable support that promotes independence, well-being, and community inclusion. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the essential role of disability community support workers, the impact they have on individuals and communities, and what makes them so vital to the disability support ecosystem.
Who Are Disability Community Support Workers?
Disability community support workers are trained professionals who assist individuals with disabilities in various aspects of daily life. Their responsibilities range from providing personal care and facilitating social interactions to supporting educational and employment goals. These workers are committed to empowering individuals with disabilities to lead fulfilling and independent lives.
The Impact of Disability Community Support Workers
The impact of disability community support workers extends far beyond day-to-day assistance. Here’s how they make a profound difference:
Promoting Independence: Support workers help individuals develop essential life skills such as cooking, personal hygiene, and financial management. By fostering independence, they enable individuals to take control of their lives and build self-confidence.
Enhancing Quality of Life: Through personalized care and attention, support workers enhance the overall quality of life for individuals with disabilities. They ensure that their clients’ physical, emotional, and social needs are met, contributing to a happier and healthier life.
Facilitating Community Inclusion: Disability community support workers actively work to integrate individuals into their communities. They assist with participating in local events, joining social groups, and accessing community resources, thereby promoting a sense of belonging and inclusion.
Providing Emotional Support: Living with a disability can be challenging, and having a compassionate support worker can make a significant difference. They offer emotional support, companionship, and encouragement, helping individuals navigate their challenges with greater resilience.
Advocating for Rights and Access: Support workers often advocate for their clients’ rights, ensuring they receive the services and accommodations they are entitled to. They help navigate complex systems such as healthcare, education, and social services, providing crucial guidance and support.
The Skills and Qualities of an Effective Support Worker
To be effective in their roles, disability community support workers possess a unique set of skills and qualities:
Empathy and Compassion: A deep sense of empathy and compassion is essential for understanding and addressing the needs and emotions of individuals with disabilities.
Patience and Resilience: Support workers often face challenging situations that require patience and resilience. They must remain calm and composed, providing steady support regardless of the circumstances.
Communication Skills: Effective communication is crucial for understanding clients’ needs, providing clear instructions, and advocating on their behalf.
Adaptability: Each individual’s needs and circumstances are different. Support workers must be adaptable and flexible, tailoring their approach to suit each client’s unique situation.
Professional Training: Comprehensive training in areas such as first aid, disability rights, and specialized care techniques ensures that support workers are well-equipped to provide high-quality care.
The Importance of Support Workers in the Disability Sector
Disability community support workers are vital to the broader disability support ecosystem. They bridge the gap between individuals with disabilities and the services they need, fostering a supportive and inclusive environment. Their work not only benefits individuals but also enriches the entire community by promoting diversity, inclusion, and understanding.

i think the concept of saw trap logic has done wonders for both my mental health and how i deal with some of the godawful posts on this website. it kind of reframes them in the same light as scams for me
it kinda goes something like "is this a genuine argument, or is this post an elaborate setup (making up a guy, worst faith interpretation, etc) to convince me i'm a terrible person without making me think to question it"
#morrisounds#im pretty sure i got it from a post about ocd#something about some of the posts on this site are just saw traps for people with ocd#the quick way to ID scams ime is ''is this a warning or is this trying to get me to pay/click a link without thinking as fast as possible''#when in doubt go to the source (ask the supposed sender/visit the site from a link NOT provided in the email etc)#anyways examples of saw trap logic are the ''you need to support ai because it 'allows' disabled people to make art'' post (make up a guy)#and pretty much any reply section on any post on this godforsaken site (worst faith interpretation)

Comprehensive Care: Exploring the Types of Disability Support Services in Sydney
Navigating the landscape of disability support can be daunting, but understanding the variety of services available can make a significant difference. Disability support services in Sydney cater to a broad spectrum of needs, ensuring that individuals with disabilities can lead fulfilling and independent lives. Here’s an overview of the different types of disability support services in Sydney and how they contribute to improving quality of life.

Personal Care and Assistance
Daily Living Support: Daily living support services are designed to help individuals with disabilities manage everyday tasks. This includes assistance with personal hygiene, dressing, eating, and mobility. These services ensure that individuals can maintain their independence and dignity while receiving the care they need.
In-Home Care: In-home care services provide support within the comfort of the individual’s home. Carers assist with various activities, including meal preparation, cleaning, and medication management. This type of support is particularly beneficial for those who prefer to stay in a familiar environment.
Community Participation
Social and Recreational Activities: Engagement in social and recreational activities is crucial for overall well-being. Disability support services in Sydney offer various programs that encourage social interaction, skill development, and enjoyment. These activities include sports, arts and crafts, community outings, and group classes.
Day Programs: Day programs provide structured activities and opportunities for social engagement outside the home. These programs are designed to enhance social skills, build friendships, and foster a sense of community. They also give caregivers a much-needed break, knowing their loved ones are in a safe and stimulating environment.
Educational and Vocational Support
Special Education Services: Special education services cater to the unique learning needs of individuals with disabilities. These services include personalised education plans, specialised teaching strategies, and support from trained educators. The goal is to provide an inclusive learning environment where every student can thrive.
Employment Support: Employment support services help individuals with disabilities find and maintain meaningful employment. These services include job training, resume building, interview preparation, and ongoing workplace support. They empower individuals to achieve financial independence and contribute to their communities.
Health and Well-Being
Therapy Services: Therapy services encompass a range of treatments aimed at improving physical, mental, and emotional well-being. This includes physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and psychological counselling. Access to these therapies is crucial for managing conditions and enhancing quality of life.
Medical and Nursing Care: For individuals with complex medical needs, specialised medical and nursing care is essential. These services ensure that individuals receive the appropriate medical attention, medication management, and health monitoring. Professional nursing care can be provided at home or in specialised facilities.
Residential Support
Supported Independent Living (SIL): Supported Independent Living services enable individuals with disabilities to live independently while receiving the necessary support. SIL services include help with daily tasks, financial management, and accessing community resources. These arrangements often involve living in shared or individual accommodations with varying levels of support based on individual needs.
Respite Care: Respite care temporarily relieves primary caregivers by offering short-term care for individuals with disabilities. This can be provided in the individual’s home, in a community setting, or in specialised facilities. Respite care ensures that caregivers can take a break while their loved ones continue to receive quality care.
Navigating NDIS and Support Coordination
NDIS Plan Management: Navigating the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can be complex. Plan management services assist individuals in managing their NDIS funds, ensuring they are used effectively. This includes budgeting, processing invoices, and financial reporting, allowing participants to focus on their goals.
Support Coordination: Support coordination services help individuals understand and implement their NDIS plans. Coordinators work with participants to identify suitable services, connect with providers, and monitor progress. This personalised support ensures that individuals make the most of their NDIS plans.
Conclusion
The diverse range of disability support services in Sydney reflects the city’s commitment to inclusivity and care. From personal assistance to educational support, these services empower individuals with disabilities to lead fulfilling lives. Understanding and accessing these services can significantly enhance quality of life, providing the necessary support for both individuals and their caregivers. Whether through in-home care, community programs, or specialised therapies, Sydney offers a comprehensive network of support to meet the diverse needs of its residents.

…wHY do y’all feel the need to mention where someone’s at when they’re not around! Sure I have a crush on that idiot but I’m never going to admit to it, and actively avoid bringing them up myself ‘cause it’d feel like a freudian slip and it’s not my business anyway.
How often do I even come up in y’all’s home conversation. Is it out of pity? Or is this idiot just as insufferable as I am to my friends who are WELL AWAY from this and therefore Safe to repeatedly try spring-cleaning my demiromantic acengst with.
Are y’all pressuring them about me, too, or has that FINALLY, finally eased off.
(And what value can I possibly have, anyway. I’m unemployed and just shy of a shutin from severe anxiety/moderate depression and cptsd, adhd, and a smorgasbord of muscular-skeletal issues that just keep creeping up and staying and moving the goalpost to even TRY getting a job. The idiot has other friends when they have time to spend on them. All I am is stubborn enough to stick around and wait if I’m not actively being chased off IF the other party seems to really want that connection.)
#tiger’s roar#i am pathetic#and it’s hard to feel Good about being moved out#when I CAN’T work/keep a job. and how many credits I have to take to keep my scholarship makes trying to get a part time job Impossible Too#I’m doing this on student debt#and my parents won’t just Stop calling me spoiled apparently out of envy#that they’re able to spot my deposits and rent for the 2 months before reimbursement#and cover getting things like cooking utensils and used furniture and cleaning supplies#even though 2/3rds of what I have I either bought/kept myself OR are things they don’t want anymore#if anything. it should be a victory that they CAN provide this for me#where their parents’ couldn’t or wouldn’t#sure I got to move out whereas they immediately married ‘cause a kid was in the oven and the judgement that came with that#but they also weren’t chronically ill to the point of disability#and the chances of me marrying? almost zero. because I’m asexual and kiss repulsed and demiromantic#…sure I’m pretty sure my crush likes me back. and despite what happened last year their family really seems to like me#but even if they felt they did have the time and energy to just. ask me out? or hang out like we both seem to want?#I don’t think I’d ever accept that I wouldn’t just. drag them down with my stupid health#and even WORSE: make them feel sensually neglected ‘cause I can’t even think about kissing without basically gaslighting myself.#…friends can be supportive and physically intimate with hugs and whatnot#but me as a girlfriend? HA. I can’t give someone ‘enough’ without making myself feel utterly awful#and yeah. there’s a grief with that.#I’ll…try to let it be someone else’s Choice. not make someone else’s decisions for them#…but.
