If you are someone who struggles with dental hygiene due to mental health issues or neurodiversity and you just can't seem to change your routine or motivate yourself, I highly recommend investing in the right tools for you. Often advice starts with "Just form a habit! Just set a reminder!" but these things are not always enough to help when there are external stressors that cause avoidance.

An electric toothbrush and small portable waterpik have been amazing for me. I hate flossing, I find it tedious, and painful, and I avoid it. A waterpik on the other hand is fast, easy, and extremely effective. I also didn't realize how tedious I found brushing until I got an affordable electric brush. It helps do the majority of the work for me, feels nice, and has a timer to help me brush for the right amount of time. I hated mouthwash because it always burns my tongue, so I switched to alcohol-free mouthwash that doesn't.

These small changes have vastly changed my relationship to dental hygiene. If you can't get yourself to the bathroom, keep your brush by the bed. If you hate mint toothpaste use kids toothpaste with a more gentle flavor. If you need to have a brush on the go carry Colgate Wisps. Stop trying to force yourself to fit into an uncomfortable system, instead try to build one that fits your needs.

loop likes when you see them about as much as siffrin does: which is to say Not At All. and so they will be Annoying! Unlikable! they will Evade questions! give Non-answers! they will avoid vulnerability like the Bubonic Fucking Plague! they are uncomfortable when you choose to be around them, choose to treat them like a person, because MUCH like the person they once were, the idea of Mattering to someone is UNFATHOMABLE. they PREFER if you don't care, they WANT you to dislike them!!! CAN ANYONE FUCKING HEAR ME

Just because someone isn't visibly disabled doesn't mean they aren't physically disabled.

"able bodied passing" can still use disabled stalls

People who don't immediately appear to need the disabled parking spot might still need it.

Let people use what resources they need, it's not up to you to decide if they meet any requirements let alone are "disabled enough"

Unless they actively are hindering other people's ability to use those resources, leave them alone. In most cases like these ones, they aren't doing that. Either way if you're not disabled yourself and need those resources, it's just not your place to butt in about it.

I had 3 doctors appointments in the last week AND a call/long conversation with my case manager/care plan manager, and she’s doing her damnest to get me back into palliative care. (For those who don’t know, palliative care is basically hospice for those who aren’t expected to die in the next 6 months.)

Looks like the specialists are finally starting to agree with me… I’m done with trying to find a cure, I’m exhausted from years of surgeries trying to fix the root problem/cause.

I just want to treat the symptoms and try to improve my quality of life as much as I can and focus on comfort and reliving suffering, rather than fighting so hard to fix everything and be cured. I just want to stop suffering so much.

This partially feels like “giving up,” and makes me sad… but the other part of me feels so much relief in finally giving up the fight. I just want to live the rest of my existence in as little pain as possible, and try to prevent more health crises-es and emergencies.

It’s been a lot of years of this… I’m ready to focus on being comfortable and getting my life back a bit. I’m finally coming to terms with that hard conversation a doctor had with me 8ish months ago about “accepting that I will always be disabled” and “coming to terms with a new normal.” At the time, I was so mad at him suggesting that… but now I’m realizing it may be more peaceful for me to go that route. I’m tired of constantly fighting it and spending so much time researching experimental surgeries and treatments to find a miracle cure. I just wanna focus on living.
