During my last therapy session, I was getting into how much being disabled has affected my mental health, and how at least soon-ish i’ll be getting a surgery that might lead to a diagnosis and treatment plan, and when I told her about the specific conditions they’re looking for, her whole face fell in empathy and sympathy for me.

She began to tell me that considering how painful those conditions were, she totally understands how stressed I’ve been.

(I then had to tell her that the surgery I’m getting won’t even address the issues at the top of my priority list, but it was nice to finally be able to get some treatment/options after about 10 years of trying to figure this out.)

It caught her so off guard, and i just kinda laughed because yeah being chronically ill and disabled is just like that!

#i love my therapist #but sometimes she doesn’t understand disabled issues and that’s ok its just a wild reminder that ablebodied people just LIVE like that #chronic pain #endometriosis #pcos #chronic illness #people forget that disabled people have a higher pain tolerance because we are in a moderate level of pain all the time #hahaha now i have an incurable autoimmune disorder due to the years of medical neglect #pcosawareness #disabled problems #autism #disabled #autoimmune disorder #ptsd #rhumetoid arthritis #joint issues #cripple punk #therapy #being disabled isn’t always hopecore actually 99% of the time its actually a miracle I haven’t keeled over yet #and it don’t stop coming #it’ll stop anyday now anyday now #chronic fatigue #chronically in pain #mobility aid #disability things #just disabled things #lgbtq+#im still being medically neglected!!!#medical neglect #disability rights
