I think there should be a limit to how many Illnesses you experience at one time, it’s not fair that they’re allowed to stack endlessly

I’m not an IBS warrior. I’m an IBS queen. On her porcelain throne.

You guys suck this would do numbers on minion meme mom facebook

Being in public when your bowels do whatever they please is so stressful. Like yes I took a shit in this public bathroom that I thankfully had access to please leave me alone.

And like why did you pick the closest stall to mine when there were multiple empty stalls and this bathroom is so quiet.

Related: it's really fucking stupid that "hypochondriac" is generally taken to mean "someone who wants attention and will lie to get it" not "anxiety disorder" which is what it literally is. It's always played for a laugh.

Treating people as equal in our humanity doesn't mean we aren't bound by our biology. There is no phrase I hate more than "if I can do it anybody can!" Disabled people aren't even entering the equation for people who spout this nonsense. Biology is a very real factor in my disabilities and does mean I'm physically weaker than an average adult. It doesn't mean I'm not equally human.

they should invent a type of sleeping where you wake up and feel rested

i just saw someone describe a disabled person as "someone with beautiful abilities" i cannot do this anymore

god can we stop softening the term "disabled". disabled isn't a dirty word. it's not "special abilities" or "differently abled" or whatever the fuck you want to call it. people have disabilities that cause life to be hard and there's nothing wrong with acknowledging that?? it feels so invalidating when people are like "ohh you're not disabled!!! you have special abilities!!" like. omg a) it feels so infantilizing. b) by saying that you're basically saying our struggles aren't real...? some conditions are disabling. it's not hard to understand?? like there is NOTHING wrong with being disabled & using the word disabled. it's not offensive it's not a dirty word can we take the shame out of it pls oh my god. this goes for physical & non physical disabilities btw

please hurry. We're being very brave about it....

and i just waste it; this life of mine. hand over hand. the days slip in between each other and nestle in ugly spurs. what did you do today? how many hours have i spent, neither truly here nor truly there. just frozen. wanting desperately to begin anything. get up and shower or work out or drink water or make a change or dance along or be a person - just get up. my insides, coating the edges of blank atrophy. how hard can it truly be? people do this every day. they make their life every day. why can't i? why am i stuck here? why am i stuck like this, with only my heart and no boat? the shifting warning - you need to start swimming, you can't always just float. but what else, when my limbs don't move and there's no sound for the breach of my throat? what else, and where am i going? what shore am i supposed to even be wading out for? nothing and nothing and nothing. the swinging, empty bridge, and no railing.
