"life doesnt get better, you just get stronger" does NOT include ages 11-17. life does in fact just get better from there. those years are dogshit. like, you do get stronger but its mostly just a factor of not being 11-17 anymore. positive thinking helps but it doesnt fix whatevers going on at 15, you have to brute force through that one raw

I see you disabled people who don't know your family medical history because your family members couldn't/wouldn't/weren't allowed to go to the doctor and never got diagnosed, or don't know your family.

I see you disabled people who didn't know you were disabled growing up, physically or mentally, maybe because your parents didn't have insurance and couldn't afford it/wouldn't take you seriously/didn't think it was a problem because they had it/doctors couldn't figure it out.

I see you disabled people who have bouts of an issue that you grew up with, that are/were infrequent enough that you never really thought about it and dealt with it on your own, and when you have one in front of people who weren't medically neglected, you wonder why they look so horrified as you describe it.

I see you disabled people who didn't/haven't had any amount of care or accommodation for their disability since it started, because you couldn't get diagnosed.

I see you disabled people who grew up thinking everyone had the same problem as you and that it was normal and so you accepted it, because you didn't understand how the human body worked and had no real frame of reference nor the language to ask for help, or the people around you saw it and just ignored it.

I see you disabled people only now understanding that what you experience is abnormal, and that there are things that can be done to help it, make it easier, or at least help you understand yourself better.

I see you disabled people that will never be able to get diagnosed or get the help you need, whether from being poor, lacking insurance, or any number of reasons.

This shit is hard, and there are people who will never quite understand your struggles. It doesn't seem to get talked about as much, but I wish it was. Please know I love you, and you aren't alone.

i don’t know how to keep my problems to myself. some part of me always wants my pain to be seen by others. i just want someone to see that i’m hurting and understand.

Every neurodivergent person who's ever been made fun of because of it should be compensated with a life sized pirate ship, their very own crew that loves them and all sing shanties together, a life time supply of rum, oranges, card games, and cannon balls with proper protective equipment. And an animal companion of their choice if they'd like

Hey shout out to my aroace people who are sex and romance repulsed and feel like they have to be comfortable with sex and romance to be accepted. you don't, and you deserve a space where you can feel safe.

This is including arospec and acespec people too

Y'all (and me ig) deserve characters who are allowed to be hot and not sexualized

Y'all deserve a place where stories dont have to have sex to be fun/interesting

Y'all deserve a space where people dont get annoyed at you for disliking overly sexual or romantic stories

Specifically for arospec people who are romance repulsed, yall deserve a place where friends are valued and its ok to have sex/be attracted to people without any thought of romance. Yall also deserve characters and stories about this.

Specifically for yall acespec people who are sex repulsed, yall deserve a place where you can feel safe knowing that sex wont be expected of you, a place where you can date someone and not be expected to have sex with them, and most of all, yall deserve characters and stories about people like you who's story and sexuality isnt erased.

Yall dont need to be comfortable with sex or romance, theres been an uptick in people talking about aroacespec peeps who are comfortable with that stuff, and are very prominent in fanfic and smut areas of the internet, which is very cool and good, but that does not need to be you.

If youre romance and or sex repulsed, that is completely ok, you should not have to feel like you have to be comfortable with that to be accepted by people.

it's always "support mentally ill people!!" until they don't feel their trauma is "bad" enough and actively wish to be more traumatized

then suddenly you're just faking it and no actually mentally ill person would want trauma

don't you think something has to be fucking wrong with them to want it in the first place?
