one thing i do love about being obviously trans is seeing the unbridled wonder at my existence in the eyes of a child whose parent is staring at me like they're going to kill me once we all leave the store

In a similar way to how I wish people without chronic pain and fatigue understood that staying in bed all the time isn't fun, I wish they understood that getting takeout all the time isn't fun either. I would LOVE to be eating home cooked meals but I just can't most of the time so fast food it is because I can't afford anything better with disability benefits. The novelty of bed and takeaway wears off Real Fast when it's your only option.

how it feels to have a pain causing chronic illness that doesn’t have any medication or treatment that isn’t made for last case scenarios

ive been trying to let evil into my life

oooohb its gettibg bad aagajn

the thing is. knowing someone experiences hallucinations or trouble reading facial expressions or communication difficulties or any other symptom CAN help you to understand their behaviour and respond to it appropriately. but knowing someones diagnosis is never as helpful as it is to listen to them when they talk about how they can best be accommodated. and if “can you please speak slower” (for example) sounds like a ridiculous request from someone without a diagnosis and a reasonable one from someone with a diagnosis. well you’re the dick in that situation

Hey, it’s ok to not be a “productive member of society.”

Some people are housebound. Bed bound. Some people physically can’t eat, shower, or use the toilet without the assistance of a caretaker. Some people don’t have the spoons to get out of bed in the morning, let alone work a 9-5 job in this capitalist hellhole.

You’re not lazy. You’re not less than.

And this is coming from a disabled person with chronic pain who can leave the house and walk (with some pain) without mobility aids.

You deserve to take up space. You deserve to cost money. You deserve to be here without feeling guilty just because you can’t give back in the traditional way.

You’re worth it, hun. 🫶🏼
