“ew thick water gross and weird” ITS NOT FUCKING FOR YOU!!!!! “ew why buy pre-cut vegetables when you can cut your own” ITS NOT FUCKING FOR YOU!!!!!! “I don’t need a device to help me put my socks on I’m not lazy” ITS NOT FUCKING FOR YOU !!!!!!!!! “Why drink liquid meals when you can cook them” ITS!!!!! NOT!!!!!! FOR!!!!!! YOU!!!!!!!!

Being disabled sometimes puts you in a weird spot because people will use your strength and resilience AGAINST you.

And YES for some people being able to joke about the fucked up shit taking up space in their lives, even the really fucked up shit like traumas and suicide, is healthier than the alternative of only ever addressing it with serious disclaimers about knowing that it's wrong and bad or simply not daring to directly address it at all.

"I am not a vessel for your good intent" goes hard as a line from a disabled perspective. Abled people care so much more about being their idea of a good ally than they do actually being a good ally. They shove their good intent right down your throat and then act surprised when you tell them they're suffocating you.

[ID: An image of a sign with a blue background and with a graphic of a stick figure in a wheelchair at the beginning, resembling disabled parking space signs. The text below the stick figure reads "I am not a vessel for your good intent." /ID]

it's always "why do you pace so much" and never "how was the pacing was the pacing fun"

Does anyone know what to do about the temperature and also the prices

something I've recently learned: if outright positive thoughts are too difficult for you, you can try something called "bridge thoughts" which are essentially thoughts that aren't really inherently negative or positive. things like "maybe im not as embarrassing as i think I am", "maybe im not as ugly as i think" or "maybe someone could possibly find me likeable". if you try to go from "everything is terrible and i want to die" to "i love life and i want to live!" cold turkey a lot of times its just ineffective. you need to take those small steps towards changing your mindset first, and then eventually you can say "i love life and i want to live!" and actually mean it.

yes yes yes and sometimes i have to think of affirmations more as a work in progress type of thing. Something ive always thought about myself is im open minded and therefore a pretty good student so "I am LEARNING to love myself" is both true and empowering
