Most people who lose a body part experience something called 'the phantom pain'
Wich is basically when the brain goes "you know what? Imma refuse this body part doesn't exist, gonna think its there, and right now, it hurts like LITERAL HELL"
Able bodied and neurotypical people: talk about severely disabled people without infantilizing them challenge
PSA to my fellow disabled peeps
when abled people say to push yourself out of your comfort zone… yeah you can ignore that. That ‘comfort zone’ they speak of is just… an entirely different thing. You CAN grow without pushing yourself to your limits. You CAN grow without collapsing in a QFC parking lot sobbing uncontrollably and unable to breathe because everything is just too loud.
when they say ‘step out of your comfort zone’ or tell you you need to ‘embrace discomfort’ they are actually referring to discomfort as the feeling of ‘I would kinda prefer not to be doing this.’ They are NOT referring to the following:
About to have a panic attack
About to cry
About to literally faint from pain
Actually they usually assume there is no physical pain at all
Completely mute/about to go nonverbal
About to have a flashback/meltdown/other crisis
Actually crying/having a panic attack/fainting/having a crisis
It can be so hard for them to believe that ‘everyday’ tasks can cause the above, that they genuinely do not believe you when you advocate for yourself. If you can, ignore them and take care of yourself. But I know that’s not always possible as a disabled teenager.
never posted these individual smell disorder flags whoops. also with quick explanations of each disorder
the rose and red color represent smell and unity between people with different smell conditions. the wavy line also represents smell and the differences between ablility to smell or diffences in someones sense of smell. the colors correspond to the stripes in my smell disorder umbrella flag (link) and represent each specific condition
anosmia - complete lack of smell
hyposmia - lessened ability to smell
parosmia - brain incorrectly identifies smells, eg. a pie might smell like chemicals
phantosmia - smelling things that aren't there, olfactory hallucinations
dysosmia - any difference in smell that isn't a difference in the amount of smell being sensed. basically an umbrella for parosmia and phantosmia
hyperosmia - increased sensitivity to smell

They should invent a showering method that doesn’t cause pain
i feel so very guilty for having an invisible illness/disability. like no one is aware of my health issues besides me and the people i’m with and i’m so scared i probably look selfish sitting on a crowded train, that i look weird when i need to sit randomly during important events, or when i wince in pain mid conversation with the cashier. i could go on, but it’s just so fucking scary i feel like i’m faking it even though it’s very real and i am experiencing the pain and side effects of what my body is doing to itself.
