Some small chronic illness/disability tips!

Here's a list of random minor advice that I've accumulated in my short experience of being a psychically disabled person who gets dizzy and pained standing for too long. (slight emeto tw)

Evaluate how much of your life and daily routine is spent standing, it's a lot when you actually think about it! Try to focus on small ways you can sit more day-to-day. Just simple things like brushing your teeth while sitting or getting dressed seated can make a really big difference!

Keep your disability aids by your bed oh my god it took me so long to get this one down because of a need for organization but having a little organized pile of things that help your disability that you can reach from your bed is the most helpful thing ever.

This one is kind of similar to #2 but specifically food and water. Keeping a large water bottle (equivalent to 2+ cups of water) next to your bed, as well as some food (crackers work great for lack of appetite and nausea) can really help on days when I can't or shouldn't get out of bed too much.

If you don't already have one, consider a mobility aid, actually life changing, and there are a lot of different types than you might know!

Don't let hustle culture make you feel like shit when you can't work out or go on a daily walk or generally just be "productive" enough. Sounds easier than it is but please try to remind yourself that your productivity does not equate to your worth and you on your worst days is just as good and worthy of a person as you on your best days.

This tip isn't for everyone but I have a health diary where I log symptoms and episodes, mainly seizures. I don't do it very thoroughly but it still helps give me a sense of security and also has helped me navigate life with daily seizures so much!

Talking to your disabled friends, making a disability-based social media account, or even just watching disabled people talk about being disabled on social media has helped me tremendously to feel less alone.

Try to prioritize how something is going to affect your body and symptoms over how it's gonna make an able-bodied person or group of people feel. If going to an event is going to cause you to flare-up, your friends thinking you're a "buzzkill" isn't as important as your health. If using a mobility aid is going to get you weird looks in public, it still helped you that day! I know this once again sounds easier than it is, but try to remind yourself that your health matters most!

This is everything I have right now, I might add more later, and if you have anything you'd like to add please feel free to comment or reblog!

BEING HORNY ON MAIN IS GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH, i shout, tears in my eyes, trying desperately not to cringe at myself for the mortifying ordeal of my friends knowing exactly what type of fictional man i want to fuck,

You've seen "excluding neurodivergent people is ableist" and now understand "neurodivergency is disability" but now get ready for for this one:

Neurodivergency can be disability but not every single neurodivergency is, actually. Yes, even those who technically could qualify for a diagnosis under the DSM or ICD may consider their neurtype to be beneficial to them, actually. And some neurotypes can be adjacent to the DSM and ICD without actually falling into them!

Neurodivergency can be disabled but in the way all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares.

The people seeing themselves as more abled for a neurotype that's disabling to you are not your enemies.

Break free of your chains, stop letting the DSM and ICD, the biggest perpetrators of ableism, define us and our communities.

have been trying to put a good face on it for eight months at this point but chronic pain is so deeply and profoundly boring! I'm sick of it!

oh my god like. the stark contrast between mob’s inner self — saying that everyone around him held him back, everyone was afraid of him, everyone treated him differently, everyone only saw him as something to use and that he was never accepted by anyone at any point; that he would never be accepted for who he really internally feels he is — vs all of mob’s friends and family repeatedly saying “we aren’t scared of you because we know you and we love you, this is just a part of you that we can live with and accept,”— not to mention reigen fully admitting that he was using mob and apologizing for it, as well as telling mob that the only person who really needs to accept mob is himself..? It’s just. It’s so good man

Vent about “Psychic” Interaction

I’m mostly posting this because I want to see if anyone else has had the same experience. I went to a somewhat local metaphysical store yesterday and had a pretty frustrating experience with someone claiming to be a psychic. Full disclaimer, I fully believe some people have advanced psychic and medium abilities to where they are able to read people, but this woman clearly did not. To start with, I didn’t ask for a reading, I just wanted to know if the shop had a specific stone I was looking for and then she just started reading me before I fully knew what was going on. She had some general advice that was helpful, but was really off base with a lot of what she was “reading,” and I answered no to a lot of her questions and assumptions because they were not true. She kept coming back to animals for some reason, even though I kept saying that I had no strong reaction to what she was asking, before finally telling me that she saw me in a past life as someone who was skinning and preparing animal hides, not for commercial sale but to eat and make clothing out of, which would have been normal at the time she was describing.

That was weird, but whatever, but then she got to the shitty part. I had mentioned at one point that I have a connective tissue disorder because I was looking for a stone for my healing altar, and she proceeds to tell me that my disability is a PUNISHMENT for what she saw me doing in a past life. I wish I could’ve told her off instead of just leaving, because there is so much wrong with that. Even if that is something you truly believe for whatever reason, you DO NOT tell someone that a medical condition beyond their control (mine is genetic, everyone in my immediate family has it too) is a punishment for being a bad person. That sucks so fucking badly to be told that something like that is your fault. I know that none of what she “read” is true, but damn did that make me feel awful. Like I said, I don’t actually believe she has enough psychic ability to read people, but hearing that really sucked and you should not say shit like that to another person.

"mutants are poc analogy" "mutants are queer analogy" Listen, X-Men and as such mutants as a whole should really be disability representation, and I mean representation and not analougous to it they just occassionally also get to blast ice while having furniture not built for them, struggles with keeping their mind in the present, and constantly having people casually discuss sterilizing or euthanizing them and being considered either dangerous or simply incapable of understanding when they get mad about this. But nobody is ready for this conversation.

Things disabled people wish you knew about mobility aids!

I am more mobile with my mobility aid than without.

Stop asking me when I'll get better.

When I don't have a mobility aid and am using a shopping cart, do not take it, I am leaning on it so I can be on my feet longer.

Stop asking me why I need a mobility aid when we're strangers.

I decorate my cane, it feels like a part of me, please give me space to feel sad when I have to replace it.

People will walk into me or gotten very close, please don't stare at your phone while you walk.

Mobility aids are not depressing.

Mobility aids help us to live fuller and more independent lives with less symptoms.

I love my mobility aids! I don't want the focus of my treatment to be getting rid of them, I want it to be improving my symptoms.

Mobility aids don't have to be boring and plain. A mobility aid being decorated doesn't mean I don't need it!

I don't need help unless I ask for it.

Disability isn't taboo, let your kids be curious and ask questions.

Stop moving my mobility aid(s) without asking me. My mobility aid(s) are an extension of my body.

I don't just use my mobility aid for shits and giggles, I need it. It is not for show it is not for attention and implying it is is incredibly ableist.

People use mobility aids differently, some people use their mobility aids all the time and some people don't. I don't need my mobility aid 24/7.

I switch sides with my cane and constantly have to worry about being fake claimed when in reality I just need it for both of my legs.

I'm still disabled even though I'm fat and have invisible disabilities.

I'm still disabled and in pain even when I'm not using any mobility aids.

I'm not a baby, I'm not just fat, I'm not just weak. I am disabled and I like to think I'm stronger than most non-disabled people.

It's really weird to make comments or gestures when I'm in my wheelchair. If you wouldn't say it to someone who doesn't have a wheelchair don't say it to me.

Don't bend down to talk to me it's hella weird. Just talk to me like you would talk to anybody shorter than you.

Just because I'm not using my mobility aid doesn't mean I'm suddenly better!

I'm just as disabled when I'm not using my mobility aid.

Going a few days without my mobility aid doesn't mean I'm no longer disabled.

Just because I don't always need my mobility aid does not make it a toy.

Mobility aids can be incredibly helpful and we shouldn't have to be embarrassed to use them.

If I'm in my electric wheelchair and I'm in front of an aisle you need to get to just let me know, don't reach over my lap like I'm not a person.

If you don't step out of my way as a wheelchair user I am going to hit you, that's not a threat, it just will happen. You have a lot more maneuverability than I do.

If I'm using my mobility aid, you can be respectful and accomodate me without making it a thing. I know my limits and capabilities. Using a cane does not make me weak or helpless.

It's really funny seeing you guys jump to get out of the way when I use my cane, the space is appreciated, but it's still really funny to see the look on your face.

Please stop praying for my "recovery" there is none!

My rollator gives me freedom! I can go more places without having to worry about a lack of seating. I can actually walk faster with it than without it.

My mobility aid shouldn't be a horrifying last resort, it helps me so much, even when I'm not at my absolute worst!

Thank you so much to everybody who participated! Happy disability pride month everyone!

Listen Up, I know that My PAC readings don't make sense it's because I have a learning disability. What I feel it's real in my readings. I am a psychic. Typing it out it's a bit difficult for me to explain it in a way to everyone. I do apologize for not telling you guys. I was afraid but I AM A PSYCHIC! I believe what I channeled and feel.

Thank you to all my followers that support and enjoy my readings. 💋💋💋I love you guys. There is more to come

I thought tumblr was a place for all fandom why can't I find a single Gil Hamilton post... I've searched "Gil Hamilton" "Gil the arm Hamilton" "Gil Hamiltons long arm" "the long arm of Gil Hamilton" and nothings coming up :/ like I knew there would be some Hamilton stuff but I thought the stuff I was actually looking for would float to the top? Now I see why people hate the tumblr search function ig

Something about me is I’m pagan and a psychic and I’ve been so in my head lately that I haven’t done readings in a while but TONIGHT

I did some badass readings for my wife and her gf (we’re very happily poly) and they kicked ass and I did them entirely intuitively.

And I feel AMAZING

And the channel has been busted wide open again

So if you follow me and want a reading - channel is open!!
