yeet or be yeeted

My future is discontinued. I'm still mourning who I was and could be without my disability. When I was younger, I wanted to be a ballerina, dancer, librarian, or teacher. Everything I've been working towards, the effort I put in to accomplish these dreams, was for nothing. Yet, I know that there still is a future, my future. It may look different than what I envisioned, but it's mine.

Putting spokes on a wheelchair is actual hell

Having a degenerative disability sucks. I'm never going to get better, and continue to get worse. I hate it.

Something I never realized until recently is how badly my illness is affecting my mother. She cares so deeply about me and wants me to be healthy. I know I shouldn't feel guilty, but I wish I didn't have an incurable illness. Shout out to the caregivers out there doing their best to love and help.

I'm so sick of being disabled, my body doesn't function properly, I just want to go around my house without help.

One thing I've noticed is that since I'm so young people assume that I'll get better or that I'm injured temporarily. I wish that was the case, but obviously I'm forever disabled. People tend to wish me to get better quickly and I have to sit there in me wheelchair like "haha yep!"

I just want to be able to eat food without having an adverse reaction.

I feel like I'm getting sicker and sicker and that I'll never get better.

Feeling sick sucks! It's like your body betrays you, and no matter how much you want to push through and get things done, you're stuck feeling awful. Being disabled on top of that just adds a whole new layer of frustration. It's exhausting having to constantly manage your health while also trying to keep up with everything else. People don't realize how much energy it takes just to function when you're not feeling well. And the worst part is that it’s never predictable, you don’t know when you'll feel good or when things will flare up. It’s draining, physically and mentally, to always be adjusting and missing out on things, while others don’t seem to have to think twice about their health. It makes everything so much harder than it needs to be.

It's a struggle to have other people understand how much pain I am in. I am in a constant flare up as of right now and feel like my joints are falling apart. I physically can't move without being in excruciating pain. Trying to stay positive is a struggle, but I wish everyone an amazing day!

The rage I feel when I remember the time I went to the ER because my pain was astronomical and the doctor saw I was chronically ill and sent me home when I literally couldn't walk. The nurse was appalled and said they should have admitted me as she was escorting me out of the hospital.

The walk of shame of putting my wheelchair in my car after using it

Hey, "controversial opinion," but disabled people in dnd should not be a problem?? Let me play a character in a wheelchair or have crutches. "It's not realistic," "I'll just heal your character," shut up. Dragons fucking exist, mate. I've actually been kicked out of a campaign before because my character had a cane for disabled purposes and not for the aesthetic?? Mind boggling.

Friendly reminder that disabled people deserve love!! If you can't contribute to society in the normal corporate manner doesn't mean that you don't deserve to live! If you can have a job, but are suffering while doing so you're still valid!
