I was doing so well [pushing myself to get back to baseline] recently, and now all of the sudden [after pushing myself] out of nowhere [as a result of pushing myself] Iโm stuck in bed again with no energy? What happened!? [I ignored my body]

Happy disability pride month to everyone with ptsd, happy disability pride month to everyone with complex ptsd, happy disability pride month to everyone who questions if their problems are big enough to count as a disability, happy disability pride month to anyone who questions if their problems count as a physical or mental disability, happy pride month to everyone who has a disability that causes people to stare, and to those whose disabilities are hidden, happy disability pride month to everyone who deals with any kind of disability physical or mental, youโre all badass and I want you to remember that this month okay
june is over... goodbye pride month, hello disability pride month!!
let's all be disabled this month... together ๐ค
if you're not disabled yet: no need to worry! i can help. come closer.
Would anyone here happen to know of a good endocrinologist in Colorado? I have a friend that's looking, and it's one of those specialties where they take forever to get in and theyre in such need that they can be assholes with no recourse. Thank you!!

good morning world whoโs ready for another day of feeling slightly nauseous and weird about everything
ADHD affects how I experience time, not how I experience attachment. I love you. I miss you. I just don't realize how long itโs been since I last said that, let alone messaged.
I understand that most normal functioning brains need regular engagement to maintain a bond. Absence doesnโt diminish my affection. My silence isnโt neglect or disinterest. Itโs time blindness and object impermanence. The contact gap is purely neurological, not emotional. Thank you for being patient with my inconsistency and holding a seat in your heart for me.
If you're someone who struggles with interoception (knowing/understanding what your body is feeling):
if there's a task, especially a recurring one, that you find difficult to do and that you keep avoiding, check whether you're in pain or physical discomfort.
For a long time I would avoid doing tasks like showering because they nebulously made me feel 'bad' or i just instinctively felt like avoiding them. It wasn't until I got a shower chair that I realised standing to shower was causing me pain. My bodymind knew that on some level but didn't tell the conscious me.
Similarly with sensory aversions (things you don't like). Before I got kitchen gloves, I did the dishes but it took me a long time and I never wanted to. Afterward, it got a lot easier to motivate myself.
"But how can you not know you're in pain/uncomfortabke?" Extremely easily if your brain is wired a specific way or if you were taught, intentionally or not, to downplay your own experiences or distance yourself from your body.
There's no shame in struggling with these things. hope y'all are having nice days and you're able to do something today that makes it a little easier.
Half the battle when trying to use tools to solve accessibility problems is just knowing or figuring out what exists.
I am good at coming up with workarounds for accessibility issues by identifying some type of existing product that may help fit the required niche. And I get a kick out of it.
So I would like to offer this service to you, dear readers. Here are my terms:
'Accessibility need' is defined in the loosest sense possible. You do not need to consider yourself disabled to send a request. If you find something challenging in your everyday life that you think could be solved with tools, but you don't know what, you're invited to ask.
You may submit your accessibility need via ask, anon or not. DMs are not available for this as I would like people other than the asker to have the opportunity to benefit from my research.
No response guaranteed, and definitely not timely response. I will work on this at my own pace, so submit time sensitive needs at your own risk. I will answer based on my energy levels and ability to address the need, though I may also prioritize by how major the impact of solving it could be.
Payment accepted in the form of pictures of anything interesting you saw in nature, anecdotes regarding same, or a different type of funny story you would like to tell me. No one turned away for lack of these things - send the ask anyway.
Providing as many specific details as you can of your need and any parameters around it will improve the likelihood that my response will fit your situation. For instance, if you have low grip strength or unreliable vision or a specific budget ceiling to solve this particular problem, or anything else that may be relevant to whether a given solution will work for you, in particular. I'm not trying to solve a general need here, I'm trying to match your particular situation.
In that vein, I may ask follow up questions to clarify if I have understood the requirements correctly, or if more information would help. You may decide not to answer them if you don't want to disclose more information. This may affect whether I am able to successfully find the right thing for you.
Alright, get at it!
If the offer is too vague, I'll give an example. Difficulty eating lying down because food falls off spoon or fork easily -> use tiny tongs that are originally intended for serving ice cubes and sugar cubes.
So, you tell me what you are having difficulty with. If I'm able to, I research and suggest a product you can buy or find or may already own, that might help.
women should lift weights because it prevents osteoporosis in old age and makes you a more capable person in everyday life please shut up about butts and waists and hourglasses i'm going to fucking kill

genuine question from someone who would rather chew their arm off than go to a public gym, and also doesnt have a lot of money: how do you safely get into strength training? are there youtube channels, apps (android), etc anyone recommends that makes it approachable and don't lean into diet culture / body shaming?
also the biggest thing that keeps me from working out is that I already have joint and spinal issues and moving the wrong way can fuck up a knee or a shoulder or my spine for days. I really don't want to injure myself, and have unwittingly done so before. resources that are extremely clear on exactly how to move and offer gentler / alternative ways to move for people with limited range are vital.
Okay, so this may not technically be strength training, but muscles are dumber than bricks and cannot tell the difference between your own bodyweight and actual weights.
So, may I recommend:
Hey everyone! My name is Hampton and my brand is Hybrid Calisthenics. You can find me by that name pretty much everywhere on social media.
He runs a YouTube channel where he goes over how to work your way up to more complex exercises (for instance, his pull-ups videos start with using a door jamb and moving your weight back and forth) so it's good for easing yourself into things.
You also don't have to fork out for expensive weights and such if you don't want to/can't. Substitute with stuff you either already have at home or can get from the supermarket and build up the weight you can exercise with. 500 gram cans of butter beans then 750 gram bottles of pasta sauce. 1 litre drink bottle then your 1.5 litre milk bottle. 3 litre bulk-buy bottle of laundry detergent. Etc. One of my dogs weighs 13 kilos and I pick her up on the regular (to her delight). One weighs 16 kg and I pick him up too (to his consternation and mild disapproval). You don't have to fit out some fancy home gym before you can start strength training.
I second Hybrid Calisthenics, that's the program I use. It's run by one guy who's taken it upon himself to make exercising more accessible and it's completely free! Each exercise has different variations based on your ability and each variation is further divided into different levels of difficulty so you can work up to where you want to be. If you can't do a single push up for example then this program will help you work up to the point where you can, and if you're a master of push ups then there are more advanced body weight exercises you can tackle so you can keep moving forward in your training without stagnating. The routine offers a full body workout with absolutely no equipment required for the beginning levels. The only reason you would need to buy anything is if you want to work up to a full pull up, at which point you would need actual pull up rings
Here's his actual website which I feel is easier to navigate than the YouTube channel on its own and organizes things in a way that's easy to understand. He explains everything you need to know about the routine and each individual exercise has both a text description and a video tutorial

disabled ppl we need to start lying to nosy people okay? you tell me i'm too young to need a cane and i will tell you point blank that maybe you should tell that to the guy who ran me over. you don't get an explanation of my health issues you get lies and depending on how much of an asshole i want to be that lie will be anything from a humble car crash to a 1 billion lions attack. mind yr business.
"i could never live like that" well maybe you'll have to because this happened overnight. yeah you heard me i was the most able bodied man in the world but then one morning bam i woke up disabled. yeah you could have that too. there's no cure either you'll just wake up one morning and now you have to live like me
"what happened" well have you ever seen looney tunes? yeah an anvil landed on me and squished me flat.
hey, it's okay if the only thing you did for pride was exist. i'm glad & grateful you are in the world. your survival is a celebration.
blood work? i sure hope it does
Neurogenic bladder (information)
I donโt see much about conditions effecting the urinary tract so i thought iโd make my own.
The basics: neurogenic bladder (aka; neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction) is a broad term for bladder and lower urinary tract dysfunction caused by neurological disorders
Types: there is 3 types of neurogenic bladder; overactive, under active, and mixed type
Overactive: a hyper active bladder, it will have involuntary contractions
Under active: a bladder that is not active enough and doesnโt contract enough and when needed
Mixed type: a mix of symptoms and features of both under active and over active bladder
Symptoms (not a full list)
Overactive bladder
Urinary hesitancy (difficulty urinating)
Urinary incontinence
Frequency
Urgency
Under-active bladder
Urinary retention
Urinary hesitancy
Overflow incontinence
Not being able to tell you have a full bladder
Causes: neurological disorders (a few examples; spina bifidia, stroke, CNS tumors, Parkinsonโs, and much more)
Treatment (not a full list, it also depends on the symptoms and underlying cause)
Urine schedule
Medicine
Sacral nerve stimulation
Catheters
Certain surgeries
Stigma: theres a lot of stigma around urinary disorders and disabilities. Many with them are scared to talk about them. Itโs often seen as โgrossโ and โunsanitaryโ. Those of us with urinary issues often get shut down in conversations even in disability spaces because people think our disorders and symptoms are taboo and shouldnโt be talked about. All of this not only makes it hard to live with by constantly hearing part of your daily life called gross and unsanitary, but it makes people afraid to talk about it, including to doctors, when they really need to.

This is great information!! Incontinence and Bowel Issues are often not talked about due to shame/societal awkwardness.
The whole "you're not valid/disabled unless you're diagnosed" is evil and it is killing people. A diagnosis does not make you disabled. Your disability makes you disabled.

This is a hard thing to hear but i genuinely say it with care and best wishes:
Keep using your brain and trying that hard thing no matter how foggy. Feel stupid! It's ok! I promise you are not stupid. I promise your brain will appreciate it. And that with time it will be valuable that you tried.
It's so easy to lose a whole week to brain fog. But your brain and body don't just stop existing that week (though it can feel that way). It's so important to try to incorporate puzzles anyway. Cook a meal from a scratch, do a jigsaw, the wordle, sudoku, use your other hand, learn a new card game, watch a brand new show, do simple math equations, write words backwards, learn a new language (or even just random phrases from a few), play a podcast, read a fun article or magazine, try a new creative project. Something! To help you feel better longer and keep your brains synapses synapsing.
Find a way to push yourself into it. Ask a friend to do it with you, set a timer, build it into your routine, have a bunch of fun games on your phone, puzzles by the bed, set your google to open straight to wordle.
TO CLARIFY: neuroplasticity is magic. And CONTRARY to prior belief it does not just stop after like 25. The brain can recover in exceptional ways so if you feel behind, or feel like you lost so much of what you knew due to a deep spell of illness or depression or injury; it's never too late. Never too late to nuture your brain to a better state of health.
So have a glass of water, take a deep breath and please join me in feeling really stupid trying to finish a "simple" puzzle and know we are all doing a very good job. โค๏ธ
