So I saw a short commentary video on this the other day and I’d love some opinions!

What would you - as a disabled person - want others to do that would make your life easier? (Maybe what are things that mean you always have to have someone with you doing but you think should be normal to do by strangers?)

Thank you!!

My specialist doctor has specialized knowledge on my chronic illness it's almost like my GP referred me for a reason 🤯

I said I wanted to be a silly little guy, not a sickly little guy…

It's not the fact that I'm chronically ill that bothers me. That's fine. I wouldn't have it any other way. It makes me unique. It's how people treat me because of it. They always either tell me to suck it up and move on or treat me like I'm going to break if they breathe on me wrong. I'm not brittle or fragile. I'm not going to break. I just need to be treated more gentle. That doesn't mean people can't be energetic or a bit rough with me. It just means that I may not be able to return that energy or handle roughousing all the time. I'm not a vase. I'm a living, breathing, feeling person. I deserve to be treated like one.

Told a coworker I’m a chronic insomniac

She hits me with the classic “have you tried melatonin?”

Yes. Many times. It either does nothing, makes me sleep through all my alarms, or gets me trapped in the most violent night terrors that my brain locks into and I cannot escape until the scene is complete.

But yeah I’ll try Sleepytime tea and less screen time before bed because even after a decade of this nonsense I’ve NEVER tried that before

So some fun little brain anxieties of mine that are actually fucking wild and getting on my last nerve😑😑 (Tw I’m losing it a little✨);

Didn’t wave my loved ones car down to the end of the road before their trip?? Whelp I’ve killed them✨

3am to 4am is danger hour - don’t breathe out loud or you’re ✨fucked✨.

There is a camera in every public toilet. 👀

Don’t think about anything dark bcs you’ll make it happen🫶🌸

I don’t have a soul anymore. It’s gone and I’m terrified✨😊

Everyone’s watching. Don’t you know? Everyone’s always watching.😩 Even in my room…I guess???👀😅

Every bus seat has pee on it.

All men are pdfs now - they’re just waiting to be able to not choosing not to. 🤷‍♀️

All men think I’m so ugly they’re going to kill me. 😀

There’s gonna be a body. Do you really wanna walk there if you aren’t ready to see a body👀

It’s dirty. It’s all dirty. Don’t touch that it’s dirty✨✨✨

They spit, coughed, whatevered in that.

🌸ATOMIC BOMB🌸

I’m gonna choke now. - and I’ve decided that bcs I think I may choke Ive made it more likely im gonna choke😑👀

Sorry it’s after 4:30am? No no no I’m going to die if I sleep so now I need to wait till the sun is up. 😀👀✨🙈

Im in the way.

Tbh it’s improved a lot. Used to be much worse. So much worse😀. But I’m basically inside 100% of the time so I don’t have to worry about outside problems anymore✨😅🫶

So many people, for as long as ive been alive: "Oh wow you look so tired!"

Me, trying not to look annoyed at the comment: "Yeah i have chronic insomnia, it might happen once in a while"

Everyone, everytime: "Oh have you tried meditation??"

Me:

There's a difference between "I have a hard time sleeping" and "chronic insomnia since comin out the womb"

aka insomnia as a symptom vs insomnia as a disorder

a lot of people will suffer insomnia for some reason or another some time in their life.

meanwhile some of us have that issue without reason and always have and let me tell you it isn't just "hard time falling asleep" no no REAL insomnia is hell

.

oh you wanted to sleep in until 1pm? lol no you're getting up at 10am. bc you have been waking up every hour since 7 am and going back to sleep just to wake up and see that only an hour has passed, and you're tired of it now so you get up

you wanted to stay asleep for a full 6 hours? haha funny creature, you wake up every 2 hours. your REM cycle? non-existent. 24 mins of REM a night seems to be your record, whenever that happened.

need to take a nap bc you can't physically stay awake? well you can lay there with your eyes closed for 2 hours and I guess that's the same right?
