People who are truly your friend will not leave you behind attempting to catch up or exclude you from things just because you're disabled. They won't make fun of you just because you have learning disabilities. They won't claim it's too difficult for them to correctly refer to you by the right pronouns just because you're queer.

If they do, they aren't a friend. Get yourself some new ones and you'll start to feel a whole lot happier

#makes a huge difference trust me #it takes time but you'll realise who wants to be your friend and who's worth putting effort into #you can't chase after something that isn't there. you can't make excuses for someone who shouldn't be excused #it took me breaking down in front of one of the big important people at work #and he sat with me for 2 whole hours listening and then we wrote a list and everything. it was basically a whole therapy session #for me to really take the jump. and i am glad he gave me the reassurance that was the right thing to do. because he was right #i am so much happier. i have things to work on. but in about 3 months I've started to fix so many things in my life #I'm doing a job i love. i have friends i love and can ring up at any moment to call some stupid ikea trip or hair dyeing session #i have things to look foward to in the near future. attainable goals set to reach.#slowly figuring things out. I've found my people. the right people who don't make me feel like shit or who give mixed signals 24/7 #people who don't make me only feel worthy when I'm not visibly disabled and using mobility aids or not being slowed down by my chronic pain #I've come more to peace with being disabled. it's been 4 years. I've had time to get used to the thought now. it's ok.#because maybe i was meant to experience this to really be able to understand and make change
