But Then I Have To Remind Myself It's Because - Blog Posts

4 weeks ago

A loving reminder that if you are so disabled that you cannot work, and especially if you are getting some kind of government assistance because you cannot work, and especially if you feel guilty because other disabled people have to work: You are not lazy. You DO deserve to indulge in things that bring you joy.

You are a government employee and your Full Time Job is to keep yourself at a minimum baseline of Alive and Not Miserable.

Your job is to watch videos that entertain and engage you.

Your job is to play video games so you can keep some kind of joy in your life.

Your job is to rest as much as you physically can to conserve energy.

Your job is to cook for yourself and take joy in it if you find it joyful, even if that's the only thing you can manage in a day.

Your job is to make yourself as comfortable and stress-free as you can, even if that means bed-rotting.

It is what you get paid to do. Because being disabled IS a full time job. And it's hard work.

Be kind to yourself.
