Word Seamstress.

there is a lot of inter-community ableism between the mental illness community and the physically disabled community. as a member of both, it effects me directly.

more specifically its mentally ill people claiming that physical disabilities (including chronic illnesses) are treated better than mental illness, as if our disabilities or illnesses are taken more seriously than mental illness, or that people will more likely accept them as an excuse for something. but they arent treated like that, not at all.

stop acting like the world is more accessible for physically disabled than mentally ill people, its not accessible for either.
