What a time to be alive.

I hardly ever add comments to posts but i feel the need to add on. A couple years ago i was in a wheel chair because of my chronic illness. I went to an amusement park with my school and each time we’d go on a ride the people who work there must ask if i was able to walk onto the ride. A lot of people found this offensive (my sister is working at disney world and she told me that whenever there is a wheel chair the cast members must ask if they are able to walk.) I of course told them i was able to walk and when i got out of my wheel chair i got so many bad glares. After that field trip i was bullied the rest of my highschool life because people thought i was faking it. It got to the point where these girls from church ended up breaking my wheel chair. Please please stop harassing people who use wheelchairs.

There are many times when due to breathing difficulities I’ve had to use a wheelchair or motor cart in the store or other places. That doesn’t mean I can’t walk or others can’t walk but it does mean we can’t go far and we do need the assistance. It’s no ones business judging people who need the help. No one should feel bad for using what the need when they need it.

I grew up with a bone deformity in my feet in ankles that was not visible to the eye and I was still able to walk. After walling for any more than about 30 ft my feet would begin to hurt so bad I could barely function. My family took a trip to disney world when I was 9 and I needed to use a wheel chair. I specifically remember hearing a woman scoff and growl about how lazy and disgraceful I was but also my family for raising such a lazy child. And this was just because I got out of my chair to go hug Tinker Bell. Please stop harassing wheelchair users who can still walk. You made an 8 year olds first trip to disney a lot worse than it should have been.

Keep telling your stories ❤

I remember a trip to the museum back when I was 10 and my Complex Regional Pain Syndrome was just starting to spread. I hadn’t been able to be in school much, so I was so excited to finally be able to be a part of a normal, exciting day with all of my friends. I hesitantly borrowed a museum wheelchair in lieu of using crutches; I felt very vulnerable and sort of embarrassed needing to be pushed around, but I wanted so so badly to be a part of the big day. After a couple hours, I set the wheelchair aside to go to the bathroom, and then lowered myself into it when I got back out. A museum guard went fucking ham, telling me I was lazy and entitled. I hadn’t fully explained my disability to a lot of my classmates, so when they gathered around to watch the shit show, I was so crushed and embarrassed. Because of that one incident, for years, I was hesitant to ask for extra help when I needed it and I ended up worsening my condition long-term. Respect ALL wheelchair users. Treat everyone you come across with respect. You are not always entitled to an explanation.

Gonna reblog this every time I see some foolishness on or offline about someone thinking a wheelchair user is “faking” because they stood up and walked some. This time it was a YouTube video and the comment section, a curse on both their houses!!!!

As a result of my mental illness’ affect on my overall energy level, and several old injuries including chronic back pain, knee pain, and ridiculously weak ankles, I have to be in a wheelchair whenever I go to amusement parks like Disneyland. I get so many glares, especially since I will sometimes switch with my fiancé if I’m feeling unusually energetic and since he has bad knees too. If it weren’t for the wheelchair, I would end up being in too much pain to stay for more than maybe three hours. It’s so bad sometimes that I’ve considered buying my own personal wheelchair for use on those days that I just can’t get out of bed but there’s shit I need to do. The only reason I haven’t yet is because I’m afraid of douche nozzles who judge people’s disabilities by their appearance.

When I’m at work and I have people transferring out of their chairs and walking, other guests come up to me and always have some bullshit to say about how people are “faking” . I got so angry one day, I let in a whole group of cheerleaders and one of them was in a chair, she opted to park outside and walk in. The lady in the group behind them was all pissed and came over and was like, “they just let ANYONE get a wheelchair??” And I was all, “well…yeah” Lady: “well I didn’t see anything wrong with her.” Me: “Yeah, so I guess you missed that she only had one leg and the other was a prosthetic. Which is probably why she’s in the chair.” Cue that jerk walking away with a red face.
