I'd rather bend than break

[Image: A tweet by @rebelwheelsnyc​ (AKA Michele In NYC (Another World IS Possible!). It reads, “Calling all lovely all / mostly / sometimes bed bound & home bound peoples. Craving social connection/community? Let’s chat via community created #TheHomeBodiesCollective <3“ and includes related hashtags.]

If you’re stuck at home or in bed and need a little community, this world wide web is a great place to start—and this hashtag is making it even easier for you to connect with folks who get you!

Omg you are overreacting. I haven’t even been on your blog for 10 mins and I already despise it. Goodness, get a life.

You’re fucking adorable.  It’s cute how you think I should tailor my blog just for you!

Just a reminder for everyone that we have 3 tags for you to blacklist if you don’t like us, but still want to see our content!  Because we still care about you, even if you don’t like us or our opinions.  And we want you to be safe, regardless of how you feel about us.

Admin J - personal commentary

Admin E - personal commentary

currentlyoncim - arguments, conflicts, disagreements

And if you think that on top of that I should be required to censor myself in public because you can’t take personal responsibility for your Tumblr experience, well yeah, you’re definitely not going to want to be here.

All my love (whether you want it or not)

brain: you have depression

As a chronically ill person, I have to come to terms with the fact I will never be able to do xyz. And I’m going to live with abc my whole life. It sucks. And I’m upset about it. I’m angry. I’m devastated. I’m grieving.

But I need to process that information. Coming to terms with the permanence of our issues, and facing a life that looks very different to the one we planned is vital to our mental health.

Admin E: I HATE THAT GAME! NOBODY WINS AND THE PRIZES ARE AWFUL!

To the disabled people who have to choose which medical treatments to pursue based on cost.

To the spoonies who are choosing between food and necessary medical care.

To the disabled people who have can’t get necessary medical treatment because of cost.

To the disabled who are constantly worried about how they are going to make things work.

To the spoonies who go to work every day because they must in order to support themselves but can barely function by the time the workday is over.

It’s messed up that we live in a country where medical treatment is so expensive. It’s terrible that you must make the choices you do. 

I see your strength and your bravery. I see how hard you are trying.
