I think one of the worst things for disabled people who have to live with/rely on others for help is that a lot of people eventually get annoyed with the fact that helping you doesn't "cure" your disabilities.
Even after telling them that your condition(s) are permanent, at some point you'll hear "you just need to push past it!" or "there's no way you can feel like that most of the time!" or "I've seen you do [X] before so I don't understand why you can't do it right this moment." or "getting a glass of water isn't that hard, come on."
it makes you feel like a burden. can't help out with as many bills. can't help out with cleaning as much. you start to hesitate to ask people for help with water and food.
We need better access to licensed caregivers
