Weâre indoctrinated from childhood with the idea that staying home sick is somehow suspect or lazy, and that morally superior people never have their productivity schedule compromised lol, when the reality is that going out in public when youâre sick is a terrible thing to do to immune-compromised and chronically ill people (and âhealthyâ people) and staying home is a good thing and a right we should all have, not only for our own sakes but for othersâ

Confession #5,535
Iâm always afraid Iâm over sharing in my disability lit class, but itâs because nobody else has explicitly identified as disabled. Nobody in my class uses mobility aids, and a lot of people seem to assume that everyone in class is abled. So screw it, Iâll use myself as a case study and go off about the treatment of invisible disability if I dang well please.
Confession #5,537
I feel like I am using my chronic illness as an excuse to for doing bad at school but it really is hard for me. Iâm working to get accommodations for the first time and I think they will really help me but my friends and family just think that itâs cause I donât want to do the work all the time. Why do I feel guilty for trying to get accommodations? I know I fit the requirements for them and Iâm not just doing it for the sake of fucking around.

This disease eats so much life ..
Confession #5,503
Does anyone else find they do better when other people arenât around? When Iâm on my own I make better decisions with food, I get more stuff done and Iâm not stressed. As soon as people are home that all changes. Iâm also not as hard on myself when Iâm alone; if I donât have the energy to do something itâs fine. But if other people are they Iâm constantly stressed Iâm not doing enoughâŚ

All reasons to use a cane are valid!!!
Highlights from my personal experience:
To make an invisible disability visible
To help with chronic fatigue
To help with chronic pain
To help with joint weakness
To bash ableists upside the head
To help with chronic dizziness
no shame even in shame. no shame in asking for money. no shame in using mobility aids. no shame in internalized ableism. no shame in getting our needs met however we can make that happen.ďżźďżź
no shame in anger or bitterness or joy. no shame in recovery, nor in incurability, nor in terminal. no shame in changing states, no shame in the growing pains and shrinking pains. no shame in feeling. anything.
only recognizing and letting go or holding on or just existing within without with. only feeling and learning and regressing and being.
if you accuse a disabled person of ânot taking their health seriouslyâ because theyâre not falling into the good cripple archetype, please fuck off!!!!!
Am I Using My Disabilities As A Reason Or As An Excuse? A biography by me, featuring interviews with my internalised ableism.
I cant believe this is controversial, but disabled people are more important than cutting single use plastic. Bring back straws, don't ban inhalers and let us continue using the products that help us stay alive and healthy.
Love this energy

TIL astronaut Jack Schmidt discovered he was allergic to moon dust, which is a thing millions of other people have probably gone their whole lives never knowing.
Imagine being one of only twelve guys ever to have the honour of walking on the moon and then when you get there you're allergic to it.
Chronically ill young adult problems #7
Dating when youâre young and sick is hard. When and how do you disclose your illness to the person youâre seeing? How do you help them understand your symptoms, especially if theyâve been mostly healthy their whole life? How do you plan fun, interesting dates when thereâs so many things that you canât do and so many inaccessible public places? Even if you do everything right, youâre afraid that people your age, who are mostly concerned with experiencing the world and having fun, wonât be able to understand the limitations your illness places on you and wonât want to date you.
I think that one of the biggest problems with ableism in America is the sinister âgood samaritanâ disguise it takes.
So much of the ableism we can observe comes from âgood intentionsâ:
- trying to spot âfakeâ service dogs
- leaving passive aggressive notes on cars that people think shouldnât be parked in disabled parking spots
- the entire mess that is the assisted suicide movement
- posting âinspirationalâ photos, videos, and stories about disabled people without their express permission
- using terms like âspecial needsâ and âdifferently abledâ
- trying to cure conditions that are not inherently harmful/fatal like autism or adhd
- overriding the autonomy of disabled people
The arguments I see for these always come from people who refuse to believe they are perpetuating ableism. They insist that they are trying to help disabled people and that these things are âfor their own goodâ.
But they just perpetuate stereotypes and existing power structures already stacked against us.
Listen to disabled people on disabled issues first and foremost. Neurotypical and able-bodied people cannot be seen as the authority on a community they are not apart of.
imagine someone without allergies injecting themselves with an epipen and saying âI find that this did not help me therefor epipens are not helpful to people with allergiesâ
this is basically the argument neurotypicals are making when they say fidgets donât actually help neurodivergent people or people with mental illness bc theyre âdistractingâ or âdonât relieve stressâ or whatever theyâre argument may be.

Itâs so stupid that people with chronic pain have to basically ration their pain meds because they canât afford more or their doctors wonât prescribe more. Itâs awful that you can be laid there with debilitating pain and still be wondering whether itâs really worth taking your pain meds, because you never know, you might be in more pain later.
Like, I can still sit up for 10 minutes before my neck hurts too much from my skull sinking down into my spine so do I really need to take my pain meds right now? I only have 6 dislocations that I know about so is it really bad enough? I feel like Iâm being stabbed in the spine but like, this just happens sometimes and Iâm not quite on the verge of passing out yet so I can probably wait a few hours and see if maybe it goes away on itâs own?
And then, after all that, people still tell you youâre too reliant on painkillers. People still say you just need to try harder to push through the pain. Like what the fuck do you think Iâm doing? Iâm not disabled just for shits and giggles.
I think what non-spoonies tend to forget is that chronically ill people do not just get ill more often than other people, but are ill all the time. When we miss school or cancel appointments, it is not because we âfelt a bit peaky againâ and decided to not go - we feel bad most of the time, but still do things anyway. A lot of us feel ill, in pain etc. all the time, and we cancel plans/take time off when we physically or emotionally cannot cope with the day or the things required of us. Our âgoodâ or âokayâ is a healthy personâs âawfulâ. We are consistently making more effort than ânormal peopleâ in order to live and make a living, and we often make that effort at the expense of our health. And it is so hurtful and offensive when people we know/ friends/ family/ teachers etc. get frustrated and annoyed because they think we are not trying hard enough. We are always trying. We are always fighting. Sometimes itâs too much.
