"I don't let my disability/pain/illness stop me" always, yes always, leads to it stopping you. Maybe not today or tomorrow. Maybe years down the line when your body cries out "enough" and you find yourself crippled of even the simplest tasks. Heed the warnings before they become Law. Be kind to yourself. Don't end up like me.
Plot twist for all the "I'd kill myself if I was as disabled as you" crowd:
If you were in my position, you wouldn't BE spending all day in bed. You'd be abusing your body by forcing yourself to work a job and just "tough it out" when you make yourself sicker. If you had to put up with the level of medical abuse that I do, you'd just swear off the medical field entirely and claim "big pharma" is good for nothing and only wants your money and to keep people sick.
No one actually tells you to stay in bed and rest when you're disabled. Overcoming internalized ableism comes in many phases, one of which is making the radical decision to stay in bed and rest if you're disabled.
You wouldn't kill yourself if you were me, because with your attitude, you could never BE me, and that's really fucking pathetic.
“No pain no gain”
Well I’m in a lot of pain and I’m not gaining anything except new chronic diagnoses sooooooo
THAT WAS SUCH AN INSANE SHOT, WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THAT?!
Important
Pre-chopped fruits and veggies make it possible for so many people with various disabilities to prepare healthy meals and maintain their energy.
In another universe
These two destroyed me thanks
consider: teenagers aren’t apathetic about everything they’re just used to you shitting all over whatever they show excitement about
