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!!!

Imagine if chronically ill people could get away with being as bitchy as temporarily sick people do when they don't feel well

I jhave been in progressively worsening pain since I was 8. And I don't mean, I got aches and pains every now and then and they got worse. I mean that I was 8 old the last time that I wasn't in pain. If I act shitty when I am in agony, I'm an asshole

My mam has a cold and she has not said a single sentence to me in the last 3 days that wasn't making fun of me, insulting me, screaming at me for shit I didn't even do or just throwing a tantrum at me for existing. When my dad asked why I was staying in my room, I told him that mams in a mood and I don't have the head space to deal with it. But apparently that makes me the asshole because she's not feeling well (I literally have to put my hand in my mouth every time that I stand up so that I don't cry with pain, and have dislocated over a dozen joints in the last 24 hours, but OK?)

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.

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

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

[thaiteaprincess]

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

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.

LMK characters I’ve given chronic illness to

in order of plausibility

disclaimer: I have chronic illnesses (yes there are probably more than one) and am projecting

Ao Lie gets chronic pain after the samhadi fire incident

Mei also has similar pains throughout her life that she assumes is normal and after she inherits the fire it becomes much worse

Tang has constant health issues and can’t reasonably work long shifts so he’s on governmental disability aid.

Macaque is constantly feeling bad somewhere due to being undead. Wether that be a constant aching in his muscles or feeling unable to breathe after physical activity. He’s good at hiding it tho.

Sun Wukongs body is messed up from a lot of different things but when others notice his joints popping or him having to sit down due to pain he shrugs it off usually making a joke about his “old man bones” not being “how they used to be”

MK has serious brain fog and struggles with fine motor skills under stress. (This doesn’t really count but I’m including it anyway)

“You look so good today!”

Thanks, I haven’t eaten and can barely walk.

[ekowolf]

Dear Agony,

Please let go of me

I promise there’s nothing left of me to take

[autisticmuppeteer]
