You Know As Disabled People It's Actually Pretty Scary That You Can't Trust Your Doctors. Like People

you know as disabled people it's actually pretty scary that you can't trust your doctors. like people who have medical trauma or distrust or dislike doctors and nurses aren't doing it for fun. we need these guys to help with our lives. we need healthcare to stay alive or to stop from getting worse, or to function at all. but often when you're dismissed and not communicated with you're left floundering and often have to make decisions yourself without that specialist knowledge. sometimes doctors know less than you about your disability anyway. sometimes they're wrong and give you advice that's detrimental to what you need or want, and you kinda have to just trust that the next guy is also not wrong. i think we're pretty lucky if we can find other people with our condition who are well researched in it. but i still think that uncertainty is something that disabled people shouldn't have to navigate

If your response to people discussing their medical trauma is "there are good Doctors though" I fucking hate you btw

As a fat person, one thing that would be awesome is if thin people could just get over it. People are fat sometimes. It's fine. Chill. We're not a problem you need to solve, we're just a bunch of people who deserve social equality.

I'm not saying you should be all "I don't see size", just that I'm tired of being met with some form of "but I can't just let you be this way". Yes, you can! I can be fat all day and you can just not worry about it! Look at us go!

food being hugely culturally important as well as one of the main ways ppl connect to each other (cooking together, eating together, going to restaurants together, etc) makes me rlly sad (especially bc of how much my partner loves food) because food is just not something I enjoy at all. I've tried different foods and recipes and changing how I eat and where and everything and I just can't enjoy it. even my "favorite" foods sometimes are so disgusting to think about that I just don't eat. I hate having to eat so bad that I'd almost rather have a permanent feeding tube and it takes everything I have to eat anything, and not even in like a restrictive ed way specifically it's just, so disgusting and all I can think about the entire time is the food being contaminated in some way. I have exactly the right combination of arfid, trauma from being force fed and starved as a child, and ocd that eating feels like the most burdensome chore in the world, and that's not even mentioning the gi issues I have from eds that makr me get rlly sick from eating anything I can actually tolerate the thought of and it feels so isolating. like no sorry I can't go out with you to try that new restaurant and no I don't want to go to a dinner party and no I don't want to cook with you and no I don't want to get a bunch of snacks to with you while we watch a movie

this may seem extreme but i believe people who say things like this should die

Funniest thing about lifelong ARFID is having no idea how foods are eaten or prepared. Today I learned people don't just bite into tomatoes like they do with apples for some reason
