Just because you can stand up, doesn’t mean you should. If standing up right now will make everything worse & what you need to do is rest, then rest.

Hey, i see that you're drowning. Here's some arm floaties, hope they help.

Oh, I see they are really helping huh?

"Why is that person using arm floaties? they're not drowning..."

I see that you're not drowning, you're doing good so I'm gonna take the arm floaties away from you. Wait, why are you drowning again? You were fine one second ago, you must be faking it.

"Can I please have some arm floaties?"

"But you haven't entered the pool yet."

"Yeah but I can't swim, I know that I can't swim, so some arm floaties would really help me not to drown."

"You're asking for arm floaties without even trying to swim, you're just lazy and you want more help than the others have, the others are doing just fine..."

"I don't need to get into the watter to know that I can't swim. You're telling me I can't have arm floaties unless I'm actively drowning? You won't give them to me even though I warned you I will drown?"

This post was never about arm floaties.

Something I want to see more is giants with disabilities

Like what if your friend has a siezure but they are the size of a building

Or what if the giant is blind obiously they can't get a service dog since its small compaired to them but how would they make sure they don't step on anything??

Or what if a giant needs a cane? A tiny would just use a stick but most giant art i've seen the giant is building size do they just use a whole tree??

Under capitalism, if you cannot contribute to the wealth of the few you are a liability that needs to be disposed of. They call this the “cost of living”.

Hey, I've never posted on here before but I don't know what else to do. I'm trying here and reddit.

I want to ask u guys for advice.

Mainly on the topics of:

Dissability(mainly undiagnosed cptsd or bipolar, neurological and possible ortho in my knees) + ptsd and ~fibromialgia~

Remote jobs

OHP

So I have been working at a restaurant that is very busy as a host, bus, where I bus tables and greet people + get them drinks. It's complicated, but long story short my boss got burned by my ex parents (part of the cause of the ptsd and cptsd) and is understanding of my situation with them. She works us on a skeleton crew all year round because of us being in a small tourist town, where the summers are busy and the wunters are a flood of layoffs due to lack of customers. So she keeps on only what she can during the winter ALL YEAR. which when we have 3-4 waitress/host busses for the restaurant with multiple large rooms it is intense on even the most able bodied and minds.

Basically the trade off is he'll in the summer for job security in the winter.

Which i would totally be in for, except my body and brain don't seem to be down for the ride of 36hr weeks >:[

And I'm worsening, fast. Especially with the secuall assaults related trauma, making it increasingly dangerous for me to drive to and from work, which is almost 30 min away.

I want to quit so bad, I technically already have and said that I'll try to work 2-3 weeks more, mostly out of guilt.

The second main problem is that my ohp, oregon Healthcare could be taken from me if I quit a job without already securing another. Which I have not.

I'm going to keep applying to Amazon, and other large companies and a few small ones for a remote job and search a but on the area to for an office job (which would not be ideal, but still better).

But I'm quitting today, school just let out which means even more than what I already have had and I'm pretty sure that I met my replacement yesterday.

I honestly don't know what to do, I'm legally homeless and couch surfing and have to wait a week or two to even try to get my fafsa approved. (Which I might be able to get a job at the community college, IF I take at least one class)

I want to get a degree like paralegal, but thats after I fix my credit.

Lil vent:

It's so frustrating when it feels like my body and mind are holding me back from who I should've been... I should've been the person who worked hard despite her past and made a good savings and future for herself. I'm trying to get into a therapist and pursue a specialist who can help, but if I loose my health insurance I'm screwed. Gods, this sucks.

But seriously, the heck am I supposed to do ʕಠᴥಠʔ

Autism is so weird, because as soon as I stop listening to something I start getting tired from overstimulation, because ambient noise is like, literally a deadly poison. but yeah, sure ok, Wirtual from youtube playing trackmania and listening to pretty horrible music is like, so peaceful.

They want us dead. They want us infighting. NEVER let them get what they want. Love is an act of defiance so keep loving each other. You have to keep living, if for nothing else then for spite. We need each other so don’t you dare fucking die on me.

What we need to do next is build community. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like someone or think they are annoying, they are your family now. It is all of us against the man.

It’s not the time for bullshit arguments. Don’t let them distract you.

LOVE yourself. LOVE each other. LOVE is a weapon & you must use it.

When I was a child every Sunday meant being in primary. Basically the early lessons for Mormons. One thing I remember from then very clearly was a cartoon of the first vision. I also remember being put too far back to see much. This is what sight problems do. Where things were kind of clear they all ended up fuzzy as there was the bit with the darkness. Darknesss surrounded Joseph Smith. What I could see was things that looked like maybe something recognisable were suddenly not. Now I was maybe four or five and that bad video darkness to me looked horribly like any fuzzy darkness especially any darkness at distance. Little me ended up scared of the dark because I couldn’t tell the dark in the cartoon from the dark that’s just the lights being turned off. And no amount of praying could get rid of real darkness like the cartoon darkness. You can’t pray away multiple eye conditions and actual darkness.

Now I’m older and wiser but I’ve been in sunglasses constantly for months because my normal glasses are broken. Looking down hallways where I’m in the light of a lightbulb but I’m looking at the front door is like being little and looking down the hallway to the stairs. I have to keep reminding myself I’m older and this is just a bit of dark and not a problem or something that shouldn’t be. I just want my glasses back so I don’t have to deal with a reminder of childish fear.

Some time ago I read a phrase right at the end of a tumblr post,

"Autisim is a disability, sometimes it disables me."

And I can't stop thinking about it since. There's some things I will never do, because I'm autistic and my brain's not wired that way.

You know that announcement that goes "you assume I won't *random thing*, so I don't *random thing*"?

Well, I agree with it... partially? I guess? Because some times, there's things that are just out of reach, and if you're all the time assuming that I can do it, then my brain gets exhausted trying to.

I feel bad when I can't. I think I'm useless, stupid, worthless. Because you think I can so I should... right? I don't know how to tell you that I just... Can't. I feel the way disappointing you pushes me, and pushes me, right over the edge.

There has to be a carefully drawn line in between aiming high and push yourself until it hurts.

Sometimes I can't. Not now, I'm sorry. Maybe in the future I'll try again.

Autisim is a disability, sometimes it disables me.

Questions for all the weirdos and freaks, from one of us

First, is this a safe space?

Can I ask what I am to ask and not receive blame?

Will I become an outsider among outsiders?

Or will my words strike true?

Query #2, do you ever wish for normal?

To be in a sorority? Fraternity?

To go to school dances and be pretty?

To never fear hate?

Or be forced to brave it?

Thirdly, do you think you were born rotten the way we are?

I was born rotten I think

I've NEVER felt pity for my conditions and dissabilities, always lived as I should. Even as I got more and more pills added throughout adulthood, more news, more possibilities, more health issues, I stayed.. almost apathetic, really! Except for my blind left eye - it's just super cool to feel unique, yknow? All the creative ways I could make my sonas and personal characters half blind is fun.

Today, though, I saw a post on twitter. It was the mane six (MLP fim), and they were drawn so well and so cute, and as I scanned across, I noticed they all had dissabiltys! That made me super happy, it must feel great to be represented, to see yourself, your struggles, and to feel like you're not alone! It was so well done.

And then it all went away, because I realised that SOD, chiari malformations, and even to an extent blindness in general is never really represented, because it's so rare! For the case of SOD, it's mostly parents who are proud of their kid, but it's always leaning towards pity than individual pride. For once, I felt alone and invisible. I want to see more SOD and included people be proud of themselves! It's a part of you, you shouldn't have to just DEAL with it, celebrate it and everything you've dealt with!!!

'Oh, but we might as well be alone! We're 1 in 10,000! / We ARE proud, we're just rare!'

That just makes us cooler. And even if we are proud of it.. maybe there's just not that many sod people who are interested in pride that way, or even artists.

I'm gonna make a redesign for either pinkie or fluttershy (cause they're my favourites :)) with SOD. maybe not Rn as I have owed art but it'll be fun!!
