I got my migraines and my depression both from my parents, it's my anxiety that makes my stomach pain worse and keeps me from sleeping, I've had days and weeks that the stress has been so bad it physically broke me, I live in a cycle where I'm too tired too sick too in pain to do things that make me happy and then become too sad and burnt out to fix any of it.
There's a time and place to remind physically abled people with mental illness that they can still be ableist. Anyone can be ableist whatever type of disability they themselves have. But mental illness and physical disability are not two separate spheres. Mentally ill people are very very frequently comorbid with physical disabilities and even those who normally aren't do suffer physical complications from their mental illness which is itself a disability.
If you're tired of able bodied people or people who appear able bodied mistreating or ignoring physically disabled people I understand and you're right to be. But if you just want to edge them out of conversations and shared experiences then I can't sympathize with that.
#I'm just tired of this discource#in what world is depression or anxiety not physical#you've never had a panic attack? tell me you've never had a panic attack without telling me#i recently had a migraine that lasted all night and nearly went to the er#i could not sleep or get comfortable and nothing helped the splitting fucking pain#and having a panic attack is still up there with it among the worst pains I've ever felt#your chest is cavinf in#you can't breathe#tell me that's not real pain#i get it#physical disabilities get treated in shitty ways that mental illness generally doesn't#it's still not a competition#we can push for awareness and call out ableism without perpetuating it against each other#anyway. bye
