Casually Daydreaming About The Mobility Aids I Think Would Help Me, Ya Know, Like Every Able Bodied Person

being chronically ill with fluctuating symptoms is so annoying because when it's at it's worst im like "okay i desperately need some type of mobility aid right now, i haven't been able to leave my house in days" but then i'm able to go for a walk one day and suddenly i feel like im exaggerating my symptoms and that i actually can walk fine and it would just be embarrassing and pointless to ask for a mobility aid assessment

but like ... not struggling as much one day doesn't take away from the days that i struggle the most

our pain is valid even when it's not at it's worst and we deserve the accommodations we need even if we don't always need them at all times

manifesting this for all my disabled friends.

get you a partner who loves you as much as walking canes love falling to the floor at every opportunity.

what’s it called when you’re so disconnected from reality that cold water doesn’t feel like anything and you can barely taste food anymore

I had to block a male for calling me a slut within twenty minutes of talking to me online.

i cannot save everyone,

but at the end of all days

you cannot turn to me and say “You never told me”

when i had spent all this time screaming the truth.

Your ignorance denies you salvation.

I pray for you so that i’ll see you in the end and we can walk together into eternity.

But if you deny it i will walk alone and never look back.

ideas from@/ a.dykeotomy on tiktok!!

“sneezed”

“got poked in the eye”

“turns out fish don’t fear me at all….he just came right up to me..”

“inflation”

“wouldn’t you like to know weather boy”(a classic imo)

“too powerful”

“some freak named Dave.”

“fucked around….found out.”

“Geese.”

Some funny/less paltable things you can say when people invasively ask why you have a mobility aid!

"It's a weapon."

Ignore them

Something dramatic like "Oh I was attacked by a shark" or "I got caught in a zombie apocalypse"

"It's to spice up my outfit"

"I tried to build an army of insert favorite animal and they turned on me :("

"What insert mobility aid?"

"Why do you have an insert mobility aid?"

"Why do you not have an insert mobility aid"

"Do I know you?"

"Yeah I guess I just couldn't wait for my 60s"

"Just to bother you."

"Just to confuse you."

"Wouldn't you like to know"

"I went through a wildly traumatic experience, thanks for asking"

RB/comment your go-to when somebody asks about your mobility aid!

You never outgrow girlhood,

I just witnessed a group of old woman bond over a woman’s favorite scarf, as she talked about how she loved wearing it and it kept her warm as her friends assured her she looked lovely.

Girls don’t be afraid to age, it is so beautiful.

if you use chatgpt genuinely i view you as an imbacile.

kill the imposter syndrome in your head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they’re also using chat gpt to do it
