My Forearm Crutches Come Today And Im So Excited!

My forearm crutches come today and I’m so excited!

I actually finished and turned in an essay on time last night. That’s the first time since high school that I haven’t used an extension on an essay!!!

Cw: food and discussions of eating

Please let me know if I should add other CWs to this post

So every weekday I have a routine. I go to a specific dining hall on campus and I order the same 3 things every time (except when they don’t have it which causes other issues for me with the day just being wrong after that). Now I did this today but today is also a bad POTS day and it’s made me nauseous so I have a plate full of food in front of me and I just can’t get myself to eat it. Now I know I need to eat it and if I don’t eat it my day will feel off and what not. Idk what to do I also don’t want to waste the food.

Being young doesn't invalidate my disabilities.

Not being productive doesn't mean I'm "careless."

Not being able to do simple hygiene doesn't make me a "gross" person.

Laying in bed all day doesn't make me "lazy,"

Being overstimulated doesn't mean I'm "too sensitive."

Oh dear body why doth thou hurt me so?

I’ve been at universal for 8 hours now and holy shit. Having both the accessibility pass and my crutches has been life changing!!! I haven’t had to wait super long standing in lines which, I haven’t needed to sit as much as I would otherwise, AND I’m in a lot less pain than I would be otherwise. This is fucking incredible
