You don’t need to prove that you have earned rest. You don’t have to push beyond exhaustion or meet the expectations of others when it comes to their own definition of tiredness. You’re the only person who truly knows what your body feels and when it’s past its limit, and no one gets to tell where your limit should be, or to demand that you go beyond that to “push through”, which just leads to burn out. You’re not lazy, you are exhausted. Let go and rest.

Disabled people get criticized and called lazy for being unemployed but nobody wants to discuss how employers won’t hire us because we’re considered a “liability”. Many companies also refuse to accommodate individuals with disabilities. Let’s not talk about how the government takes away our lifesaving healthcare benefits if we make more than $2000 a month and this the reason why most disabled people live in poverty!!!

A rough one.

2025.01.05

started a new book

worked

reviewed and learned some new stuff on Memrise: German, Spanish, Portuguese

Reviewed some stuff on Clozemaster

reminded myself that time wasn't wasted when I chose to rest when I was suddenly blessed with a break

got a migraine

worked on my planner

wrote some Chinese

Today, I got to learn about inclusive pronouns with a friend I met in Spain. This morning I was reading a book with my Mexican friend, and I tried to tell him about my Spanish friend. I didn't know how to say, "My friend said I could call them 'amigue'" in Spanish because I was like Ella?? El??? Apparently, "elle" is a word, and that's dope! They said I could say, "Elle me dije que puede le llamo 'amigue.'"

That honestly made this whole day. I was super excited.

Now all I gotta do is stop getting migraines. They're really slowing me down and ruining my moods. Why can't I just be HAPPY?? Damn. D:

I think I’m getting better at not getting sad about being unable to reach my goals when I’m not feeling well, but being sick really does get old sometimes.

what about cg husk or angel with a little who has a chronic illness or is disabled?

Back to our regularly scheduled content! I can indeed write this for you! Thank you for this request I’ve just came out of a massive flare up myself!

Cg!Huskerdust, spoonie!regressor!reader headcanons!

A/N: I personally have cfs and chronic pains so that’s how I’ll be writing this reader…it may be slightly self indulgent

🕸️🪄 All separate Cg!Husk and Cg!Angel headcanons apply to this as well!

🕸️🪄The two are very careful with how you use up your energy you use up in a day and what it’s used on

🕸️🪄They know how fussy you can get when tired but won’t take a nap

🕸️🪄If it’s a super bad pain day they’re happy to take turns cuddling you in bed all day and taking you to the bathroom (or changing you if needs be)

🕸️🪄Angel decides it’s a good idea to get a pain chart for you! Just one to have on you so you can tell them how your feeling

🕸️🪄Husk makes a sticker chart for you, putting a sticker on each time you overcome something you thought you couldn’t due to pain or fatigue levels that day

🕸️🪄If you’ve got chronic migraines then the two will happily leave you alone while you rest up

🕸️🪄They make sure you’re snug as a bug in a rug with the lights down low and as little noise as possible

🕸️🪄Husk keeps watch of your door incase you come looking for him or just to shush people who are being too loud

🕸️🪄If you get all fussy and whiney because of all the big feelings you’re feeling they’ll have a different reaction than they usually do

🕸️🪄You won’t be put in time out or have a frowny face on your sticker chart no no. They know it’s not your fault baby.

🕸️🪄You’re comforted and calmed the whole time till you’ve stopped fussing

🕸️🪄In my personal experience I’ve found that weighted plushies (Derek I love you) help when I’m in a lot of pain so they’ll have plenty on hand for you

🕸️🪄These two will do whatever you want them to. As long as you’re happy, they’re happy.

There is a deep grief to a chronic mental illness. Some weeks I'm better and able to function and move through my trauma and I forget I have PTSD and feel hope. Other weeks without reason I'm suddenly reminded how bad it can be and feel stuck all over again.

[scribblesandink]

Ya know what really fucking hurts? Having goals and aspirations that you know you will never accomplish because of a disability. I know if my body would let me, I could be something. But I know I will never be anything more than ordinary

[chronicalbutch]

finally got my MRI done and results, i have degenerative disc disease, swollen lymph nodes, and straightening of lordosis with slight reversal of curvature 🫶🏽

Happy Holidays!

I'm behind on things yet again. I had a horrible experience not being able to pee for 24 hours last week. I had to push hard to get any out and was up every 10 minutes trying as you can only push so much. Started antibiotics and after 2 pills I finally peed.

Then the meds gave me such bad side effects! One day I was so nauseous and when I'd get onto the commode, I broke out in a sweat, dry heaves (no food in me), etc. Then one day I had a fever of 100.5 and flu symptoms so sore and weak and almost fell off the commode. Then one day a bad sore throat and stuffy nose. Then a cough I still have. 2 more pills and I'm done and then rechecked in 2 weeks.

Apparently it's a more rare bacteria but the meds should treat it. Crazy. It gave me insane dreams but just weird violent ones and not the fun ones. Anyway, hope everyone is well! Miss you guys!

So uhm how do i say this? Mmm well today fir most of the day i was at the super market (we finally had money for none moldy food cause my mom finally started working and my dad too), but im chronically ill so like i had my symptoms like usually and almost passed out since my mother didn't want to take a break from walking.... i almost passed out i front of the whole store but of course, my mom had to put the act bla bla bla lol and uhm so when i arrived to the car cause she couldn't beat me cause we were in public, so she yelled at me and drove to the middle of nowhere and kicked me out of her car and told me to walk home as punishment, im so honna be honest I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I FINDED MY WAY TO MY HOME, but i somehow did and she was furious that i did, and beated the shit out of me and by how badly she beated me up i was on the floor unconscious FOR A FULL HOUR, and niw im in my room trying so hard to not let my hallucinations to win about kms, yea, i hate my mom lmao

Official first day of summer but but I’m going to bed at 10:30 because I have a strict sleep schedule because of my migraines. Any future boyfriend will have to put up with me going to bed at the time a grandpa does

[dandelion-system]

Oh man I made such a mistake

I washed up and then I changed the cat litters and then I showered. With less than 30 minutes break between each.

Outcome? OUCH

[houstonxbreed]

Having a severe disability that gets progressively worse over time is such a lonely experience. The more you decline, the more your loved ones leave because your limitations become a “burden” on them. Meeting new people is exhausting because you have to constantly explain your disability just for them not to understand and end up leaving you anyway. You’d think that people would wanna support you when you’re in such a vulnerable position in life but people are just quick to throw you away. Disabled people are forced to deal with the physical and mental distress that chronic illnesses cause all ALONE because society refuses to be empathetic.

“Wanna break from the ads?”

No. I want a break from this broken body that I call prison home

[stroopwaifey]

Okay opinion time. My family says me blocking out her face makes it look unfinished. For me it’s about invisible illness and how the medical field doesn’t see us.

Should I paint a face?

[chronically-izzzzle]

It’s POTS! A brand new diagnosis to the family….. HOORAY! / sobssssss
