Ayy ya boi is finally applying for dissabilty!! âď¸
*vibing*
*remembers I have Symptoms Syndromeâ˘ď¸ and am very breakable*
*vibing â¨gentlyâ¨*
Old people that tell me "just wait till you get to be my age" are just mad that my conditions leveled up faster than theirs
Oh you level up with 'life experience'? Well I use near-death experience to power level MY symptoms.
And that's what we call a pro-gamer move
*gets booed out of the doctor's office*
Failed my blood test like a dumbass

My physical therapy is mostly just me moving my head up and down and then side to side. Smh
Person: so... what do you do?
Me: have symptoms
Person: oh. Do you go to work or school or...?
Me: ⨠no ⨠just symptoms :)
A reminder that if you have chronic pain, you may also end up experiencing other disorders/mental issues, such as executive dysfunction, processing issues, sensory issues, hyper vigilance, PTSD, paranoid thinking, severe panic/anxiety disorders and even mood instability, mania and psychosis.
Being in pain, especially constant pain, does affect you mentally. Burn out and overstimulation are so so so common with chronic pain.
We dont really talk about this or even address because to many it sounds rediculous, but itâs really not, thereâs tons of stories of people experiencing hallucinations, distorted thinking, processing issues, dissociation and so much more when theyâre hurt/put in severe pain, it completely makes sense that people who are always in severe pain can face similar problems.
When your doctor doesn't know what's wrong with you so you get diagnosed with ⨠dehydrated bitch â¨

My First Year
2020 was my first year
It was the year that I escaped
The year I laughed the most
But also felt the most pain
The year I apologized too much
And learned to cry again
The year I lost my religion
But found the most friends
The year I redefined myself
The year I started to believe
That good people really do exist
And, maybe, one of them is me
The year I allowed myself to love
And it was the best choice I ever made
The year I took care of myself
And discovered that I'm brave
The year I truly realized
How inhuman people can be
But also how kind, and how loving,
And how full of beautiful things
The year I changed the most
And made the most people smile
This year made me think
Maybe next year is worthwhile
It's strange how pain that, just a few years ago even, would have been a 10 on a pain scale for me are now something tolerable that I experience daily. I guess it really goes to show that things which used to feel unbearable can become normal over time.
I am too young
-a poem about living with chronic illness at a young age-
I am too young
That's what people say
Too young for this body
That I battle everyday
I am "too young"
Too young for such pain
My youth contradicts
My mournful refrain
My skin is still soft
My face not yet aged
Untouched by wrinkles
My bones seem unscathed
But my eyes are dark
And my soul is old
My mind is troubled
And I am perpetually cold
Beneath my skin
There are things you don't see
I am young and in pain
That is hard to percieve
For I no longer cry out
I no longer grimace
I don't write pain on my face
For all to see and listen
These are old wounds
I've forgotten exist
But they have not forgotten to hurt
They are now quiet and listess
I am too young
Too young for dark thoughts
That's what I've been told
Though I've learned I am not
Where is this child
I'm told I contain
This healing youth
That makes me immune to pain
Perhaps I am old
Or perhaps you are wrong
To assume that I'm fine
Just because I've been strong
I've seen pain
I've looked in it's eyes
It does not discriminate
It is often disguised
But I've seen so much hatred
And I've also glimpsed death
So long as I avoid them
There is still some of me left
Occasionally, my middle finger will dislocate for seemingly no reason and if that's not my body directly saying "fuck you" to me, then I don't know what is.
friendly reminder that being disabled is a full-time job. donât let anyone make you feel bad for not working when you are physically incapable. you work harder than anyone else just to keep up with your day-to-day life.

The âHow are you?â check list post
⢠Did you eat?
â˘Â Have you been drinking water?
â˘Â Have you had your hug?
â˘Â Have you taken your medication?
â˘Â Donât worry, you look amazing.
â˘Â Itâs okay to take the day off.
â˘Â Stay in if you donât feel like going out.
â˘Â Do you need to be alone right now?
â˘Â If you feel like youâre disassociating, try counting your fingers or looking at your finger whorls. Remember that they are unique to you, that you are real.
â˘Â If you are having a panic attack:Â
1: Ground yourself to reality with something familiar like a keychain or even pictures of something on your phone. [Cats and dogs are good.] Also, do not trust everything your mind/body is telling you right now. Thoughts like, âiâm going to dieâ, âeveryone is leaving meâ, âeveryone hates meâ, are a part of the panic, try not to linger on them, because they will only make it worse.Â
2: Find a space that feels the safest for you, and stay there.
3: Take slow, deep breaths. After breathing in, hold it for a few seconds before breathing out.Â
4: Stimulate your mind with something simple, and not stressful. Tap your fingers, re-read nice messages from someone, play a game on your phone that doesnât require any thought or is timed.Â
5: You are doing a really good job. You donât have to feel embarrassed. You are not alone. You are strong.
â˘Â Have you spoken today?
â˘Â Donât feel guilty for feeling upset, youâre allowed to.
â˘Â Did you brush your teeth?
â˘Â If someoneâs misgendered you today, and youâre out, correct them if you can.
â˘Â You donât always have to be brave. You can hide today, if thatâs what you need.
â˘Â Take a deep breath.
â˘Â If youâre wearing a binder, raise your arms and take several deep breaths. Cough to clear your lungs.
â˘Â Donât be afraid, youâre not alone.
â˘Â If youâve been sitting a while, stand up and stretch.
â˘Â Eat something sweet. (If you like it)
â˘Â Youâre awesome.
Why does no one talk about the emotional pain that fatigue often causes? When my fatigue is at it's worst, I can do absolutely nothing- I have to lay down, usually unable to move or even talk.
Even watching or listening to something is too hard. Even holding my phone is too exhausting. Even sleeping requires more energy than I possess in these moments and it is so isolating. It's so frustrating that I find myself in tears almost every time this happens.
Like many of us, I've been told my whole life that I was simply being lazy and for so long I believed it. It's lead to me thinking that I can always just push myself a little more, try a little harder, hold out a little longer. But I can't.
Sometimes all you can do is exist and that's okay.
