So Odd to me how becoming disabled leads to two paths. Becoming
1) even more empathetic
2) even more bitter and feel like bc you’re suffering then others need to suffer like you. This is where the pushing through symptoms bullshit comes from and I need you to know that if you’re not path 1 you need to learn about the spectrum of disability and disability history. Like now. I will never understand this path. I constantly tell people who are more mild than me to pace and advocate for themselves so they don’t get worse. My biggest regret in terms of my health is continually pushing myself. Don’t listen to anyone who tells you to disregard it. It’s really hard to get it back.
