PSA IF YOU WANNA HAVE A DAY WHERE WE WALK AROUND PLACES YOU GOTTA LET ME KNOW BEFOREHAND SO I DONT FORGET

PSA IF YOU WANNA HAVE A DAY WHERE WE WALK AROUND PLACES YOU GOTTA LET ME KNOW BEFOREHAND SO I DONT FORGET MY MOBILITY AID. YOU CANT JUST SAY WERE GOING TO LUNCH AND THEN HAVE ME WALK AROUND TWENTY STORES (in reality, i can do it, i’ll just not be able to focus on the task at hand because i’ll be focused on the pain i’m in)

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

Me: “my pain and fatigue and everything else is getting worse and doctors still don’t know what to do about it”

My mom: “ well the problem will fix itself and you’ll get better and then it won’t matter”

Me (internally yelling in my head): THATS NOT HOW CHRONIC ILLNESS/PAIN FUCKING WORKS MOM I HAVE TO USE A CANE (AND NOW CRUTCHES) TO GET AROUND OTHERWISE ID BE STUCK INSIDE

I feel seen. He’s just in there doing everything he can to get out while also screaming

It feels like there is a little man under my kneecaps trying to get out

I’m moving to my new apartment today which is hella exciting. However, I do be chronically Ill and have chronic pain so we’ll see how this shit goes. I don’t have my cane or my crutches cause can’t really move boxes with them so hopefully this goes smoothly.

Thankfully I’m not alone in moving my girlfriend and one of our friends is helping too.

I also seriously hurt my back last week (like couldn’t move and had to get EMTs to take me to the ER fucked up) so I’m a little scared to fuck it up again cause it still hurts. But thankfully I’m not in charge of moving too many boxes cause of my back but that sucks for the others as I’m by far strongest physically so hopefully neither of them will get hurt either cause that would SUCK major ass.

But anyway moving out of college dorms and in with my girlfriend is hella exciting

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."
