Fuck Fibromyalgia

There are days it feels like this for me and other days, it’s acknowledging the fact I’m still alive and feel like my 80yo great- grandma with no filter dropping f bombs everywhere.

We aren’t lazy, we are sick and we won’t get better.

i think a lot of disabled people are scared of their health deteriorating. i know i don't get enough support for my current needs so another issue is scary. but i also think disabled people can verbalise these fears (to others at the very least) without making disabled people with worse health than you or with the conditions you're scared of getting feel like shit. don't call their lives a worst case scenario or a nightmare or your darkest fears. they're people. they don't deserve that from both ableds and other disabled people.

being disabled is being torn between wanting to be a hermit and live alone for the rest of my life to not burden anyone else with my problems and my needs but also knowing that there’s no way i can survive on my own due to the limiting nature of my disability

I think that it's really important for people to realize that being disabled is traumatic. genuinely. your body and brain feel like they are breaking down and wrong. you are in constant heavy stress from stuff like chronic pain. most disabled people i know have a somewhat regular emotional break down from the trauma of it all. and we are expected to just smile through it by society, to not be in the way, to not be an issue.
