And Also A Million Other Things - Tumblr Posts

Fully agree with both points,

sincerely, someone who just went through about ten minutes of the usual denial-bargaining-acceptance bullshit that goes with the never-ending pain/illness/whatever else and decided that no, I cannot go to the grocery store today, but I CAN get some writing done and I'm going to choose to see that as a win.

being disabled will really have you thinking/saying things like “yeah i’m not really THAT disabled. as long as i take my meds twice a day (and as needed), eat and drink exactly the right things, keep the perfect balance of being active and resting, the weather is stable, and nothing unexpected happens AT ALL… i’m totally FINE! i probably should not even call myself disabled at this point because i’m doing so well!”

if you don’t want to call yourself disabled, that’s fine and it is your choice! but if you’re only “fine” or “doing really well” when a bunch of different variables are all lined up perfectly, then maybe you are not fine actually. just a thought!
