different than what I usually post but I'm mentally so so tired and in a ranting mood lol
able bodied people doing things that aren't ideal for their health is so normalized, but when disabled people do it it's wrong or worse somehow?? are disabled people not allowed to be human sometimes??? "isn't that bad for XYZ?" "didn't you say you shouldn't XYZ?" "i thought people with XYZ shouldn't-" I'M AWARE!! I DID NOT ASK!! im not a toddler that you have to remind to eat their veggies or not to stand too close to the tv, im a grown ass adult. ive been living with my disability and chronic illnesses as long as i can remember. sometimes i don't wear my braces when i should, or drink more alcohol than i should, or have caffeine, or do things that I KNOW could trigger flares or seizure or some other issue my body feels like being a bitch about. im fucking human. im allowed to do things that make me happy even if it's not the best for me, just like anyone else. let me live, christ.
You don't owe anyone an explanation of your condition/disability, how or when it started, what meds you take, what tests you've undergone, or literally anything about your health!
It doesn't matter if it's a stranger, a friend, or a relative.
It's your life and you have a right to privacy.
Don't let them guilt you into answering invasive questions.
Doctor calls you with your bloodwork results and just says “I’m really mad at you” and then hangs up
what if ablebodied people believed disabled people when they said stuff exhausts/hurts them, even if said ablebodied people didnt understand or couldnt relate. lol
i be checking my phone like someone cares about me lol
visibly disabled people will present others with the most basic and easy to understand request like “please don’t talk to me like I am a small child” and in response people will just start monologuing about how difficult and confusing this is for them and how they’re doing their best and how they need patience and understanding too and it’s so fucking tiring lol
I was outside today! For the first time in weeks except medical appointments. Went for a very short walk. It was great, but i'll probably have to pay for it and also i'm more sad now than i was before. The distance between where im at and where i would like to be is just too big.
Please understand that not every marginalized person is going to have a list of peer reviewed sources and accurate statistics proving the bigotry they face in their daily life and you sometimes just have to decide to believe people when they tell you they are suffering
who up experiencing emotions they can talk to no one about
