ok genuine question: does experiencing noticeable back pain that happens often, actively hinders me and usually makes me need to sit down when doing painting, crafting, standing over a table or cleaning my room constitute as a physical disability?

this question might sound a bit silly considering that if i have to sit down in the first place then yeah it probably is disabling me, but a part of me is doubting myself, because i can otherwise function "normally" (don't like using that word but i can't think of another right now) and sometimes the amount of back pain i have fluctuates. sometimes it hurts like a bitch, sometimes it's barely noticeable. another part of me is just generally curious to see what some people think about this topic.

#question #physical disability #back pain #i know that question kinda reads as ''does being disabled count as being disabled?'' but idk i feel like i'm not disabled ''enough''-#-if that makes sense. and i know i shouldn't doubt myself but... i always feel like a stranger in my own communities and-#-that if i complain about what people perceive as ''the little things'' then i'm taking space away from the ''real'' disabled people.#you get what i mean? damn maybe i have more deep rooted emotional issues to unpack then i first thought lmaooo #but yeah maybe i'm just going through the first stages of finding out i may be disabled #you know the stages. the stage where your brain gaslights you and goes ''hmmmmm but what if ur not bbg''. that stage.#i find it odd how i always preach that other people's feelings are valid but i can never seem to apply that same advice to myself. hm.#i wonder if that has anything to do with past social experiences as being the one to help but not often being the one to get help!#anyway back pain can go explode and die
