It’s a blessing to have a friend group made of mostly other disabled people however sometimes I interact with the outside world and remember just how differently I live then the majority of the world

They/Them, Fae/Faer Xey/Xem I yearn to have an early Internet blog. This is my version of that I’m disabled and generally a nerd I like to act, sing, sew, read, and play video games to name just a few of my many hobbies
My health just continues to get worse and I was hoping that stopping the cycle of pushing and then crashing would fix it and it kinda helped but I’m still progressively getting worse and slowly losing the ability to do all of my favorite things
I think I need to stop having health fears they keep coming true 😭
One of the big reasons I know I don’t live a ‘normal’ life is when I’m excited for a doctors appointment
If any #artist is looking for forearm crutch pose references I’m more than happy to make them for you (especially if you have a specific pose in mind)
I had the worst ever adrenaline dump. I’ve ever had the other day. It was really crazy. I was actually really scared I was having a heart attack for a little while (I’m fine now though dw)
I fear I have grossly overestimated my ability to do things again and now I have a commitment that requires me to be upright most of day day Tuesday-Thursday and on my feet for at minimum half the day Friday-Sunday. I’m terrified the last time I did anything close to that was in early June. 1/2
God forbid I try to eat food my body hates me I swear literally anything could make me throw up at this point
My insurance company has a 90% initial denial rate for wheelchairs @-@
My present for disability pride month was my disability reminding me just how disabled I am
“You have to use your ability to walk or you will lose it” but I am using it and I’m still losing it
I wish with all my soul that I could have an early Internet blog where I don’t have to be Smart or say anything put together and I could just yap about my life
To those with gastroparesis what are some of your safe foods? I know everyone is different to some extent but I’m looking for food I can actually eat some of
"Pokemon" is short for "pocket monsters". "Digimon" is short for "digital monsters". Therefore, "salmon" is short for "saltwater monsters". (You might object: salmon spend a big part of their life in freshwater. But pokemon spend a big part of their life outside pockets too!)
Thank you for this excellent gift for disability pride month some good weath- NO WAIT ITS A HUNDRED FUCKING DEGREES
The absolute impending doom of constant declining health with disability’s that aren’t “supposed” to keep getting worse
You can’t fix everyone. you can’t help those who don’t want help and it’s not noble to sacrifice yourself trying
If you’re struggling with imposter syndrome right now this is your confirmation that it is real and that you are not making it up
Legitimately one of my greatest wishes is to wake up fully rested
“Listening to my body? Sounds fake.” I say as I continue to push myself way too hard and make my disability’s worse
Guys don’t ever get the flu I had it months ago and I still haven’t fully recovered
I woke up today knowing I was going to have to push myself to far and cause myself to flare. But damn this is much worse than I thought it would be I’m sure I’m going to crash bad tomorrow. Problem is I have stuff I have to do this weekend that I can’t get out of maybe I could say I’m sick but that
I’m so over being scared of the way my own body is going to react to things. Not knowing when (or how bad) im going to flare is so frustrating
I’m collecting chronic illnesses like Pokémon I gotta catch’um all
Where did she come from Where did she go Why am I anxious Hell if I know
It’s funny to me how much of a mood reader I’ve become. When I was little I was the exact opposite and hated the idea of a mood reader lol
