i know the problem is rlly that there’s almost no disability rep in fiction like At All, not that there’s “too much” rep of one specific type, bc there certainly isn’t enough for Anyone, but like

could we Please get some disability rep that centers exhaustion and fatigue as a symptom and a cause of disabledness? not the typical media-depression “i’m spending all day in bed because i feel Sad and like nothing seems Worth doing”, but “i’m spending all day in bed because i don’t have the physical or mental energy to get up and Do Things”. i think that would be Nice

#mine #listen i Have depression but aside from Occasional feelings of ‘everyone must think i’m annoying’ that are Also due to The Other Problems #i mostly just experience. fatigue. and sometimes insomnia and at the Worst times both at once (i’m doing greeeeat rn thanks for asking)#and like ppl w pain disabilities also tend to have a Lot of fatigue bc being in pain is Exhausting #and it can be rlly rlly difficult to live in a society that expects A Single Person to be able to do A Lot Of Things when you… can’t #smth that has lived rent-free in my head for Actual Years unfortunately is that one time i overheard my little brother telling a friend #of both of ours that i basically just stayed in bed all day #and it felt Bad bc i felt like there was a lot of implicit judgment but if i’m tired i’m tired! and when the rest i get isn’t very Restful #of Course i spend a large amt of time in bed bc i don’t have any Energy and i don’t have anything i Want to do more than getting more rest
