[one must imagine sisyphus] good morning, I put it all together 🧼
wanted to talk about it some because i have thoughts:
This was so important for me to see right now because I’ve been having a really bad arthritis episode for the past week and I finally had to break down and ask someone to come clean my apartment for me because I couldn’t stand long enough to do anything. It was so hard to ask for help and I had so much shame about it but my friend was very sweet and said nothing negative about it the whole time. Im always afraid of letting people see my space when I’m not well, because I was raised to tie my cleanliness to my moral value, but as a disabled person my space is rarely as clean as I’d like it to be. Because of that, I end up isolating myself from my friends for fear that they can’t tolerate seeing the uglier side of my life.
It’s such a relief to see my experience documented in such a real way. Thank you for making this op and for elaborating on its intention
