Disability Experiences

This is a blog inspired by @/the-intersex-experience. I’ve created this for sharing disability experiences, venting, rambling and similar things, but I also try to reblog posts that can be helpful. If you want to @ me on a post to reblog and it’s disability related, feel free, just know I try to only reblog tips.

Not so much a disability experience, but a question for rollator or walker users.

TW for vomit/emetophobia

the chronically ill experience getting tested for various illnesses and whenever you say that you hope this one shows some results everyone says 'Why would you want to be sick?'

Not very active myself on this blog, I check for asks within my notifications but otherwise nothing much, but I thought I’d make a post

my doctor only prescribed me antinauseants for my chronic nausea after I told her I was self medicating with weed. I'm old enough to take weed where I live, and I'd told her about the chronic nausea before and asked for something to help. I guess anything to keep me from doing (legal) drugs?

to wish i wasn’t disabled, and only be able to imagine futures for myself where im not really me, because that version of me is completely abled and functioning, so believing I’ll never be happy or have a good future..

I didn't get nearly as many compliments on my body before I was chronically ill. now people can't stop telling me how beautiful (they mean thin) I am and asking me how I got my body and saying how jealous they are.

sorry if this is a weird question, but is it okay to call myself physically disabled when all my issues are gastroenterological and urological? I mean, they are physical, and chronic, but it feels like I’m undermining other people with more severe/prominent physical disabilities, so I feel wrong without asking
