#physicaldisability

I thought I would share this, most people who see me, don’t see the difficulties I go through day to day. These are the daily tablets I take for a month (x4 weeks), mainly to do with severe pain. There are 700 tablets in total (per month) of which x25 tablets are taken each day. Over the years I have been told I “am a fake”, “that there is nothing wrong with me” and “I just need to get over it”. For many many people, illness, conditions and many health issues whether mentally or physically are not seen. Some of us have to have strict medical treatment, strict structure in our lives, so that we can function “Normally”. You may have friends who you know has health issues/conditions, you may not know they have anything at all. People look down on others who do not conform to the “Normality” of what we class as “normal”. Because of this, it can lead to prejudice, hatred, hurtful comments. This can also take a toll on the mental health of people who are disabled. So I ask, before you judge someone, be mindful of what could be happening with them. You may not see what’s happening in their lives, or their daily struggles. But you can be there as a friend. #Disability #DisabilityAwareness #Health #physicaldisability #MentalHealth #Friendship #Judging #JudgingPeople #Support #DisabilityNeeds #Advocate #DisabilityAdvocate #SupportNetwork https://www.instagram.com/p/CoATIBHooN3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
