hdb is so chronically ill its unreal. post polio syndrome. hep c. withdrawal syndrome depending on the playthrough. probably some sort of sleep disorder. all this probably amounts to chronic pain and fatigue and nausea...and he guilts himself on days he feels like he cant work bc of it. partially bc his self hatred abt being an addict and partially bc he sees being disabled as a moral failure (tbh he sees both as a moral failure). and its just like. ugh i get it. i really fucking get it.

#hugh txt #disco elysium #i end up guilting myself on days im not able to work too #and i know a good amnt of disabled folks who do drugs bc doctors refuse to treat us #or its too expensive #so we end up having to self medicate #which quickly ends up as addiction #but sooo many people who havent been thru it treat addiction like ppl failed a test of will or some shit #and not the result of a healthcare system that failed us
