Chronically Ill - Blog Posts
it hurts hearing other disabled people talk about medical mistreatment.
like i am partly grateful to not be alone of course, but i really wish it wasnt a common or even standard occurrence.
breaks my heart.
what if i only drew disabled characters forever lmfao
fanart? yeah but theyre all disabled now.
oc? yeah theyre all disabled too.
oh youre sick of seeing disabled characters?? too bad im sick of not seeing any.
gonna fucking roll a dice of disabilities for every drawing out of spite. :)
getting the cancer response is particularly funny for me.
i had cancer. thats what made me chronically ill.
telling people that seems to blow their minds.
theyre like no but cancer is the worst and you dont have that now but you had it before so youve had both cancer and being chronically ill but like cancer is worse and-
they dont know what to do with that. they tried to make a smart comment and it failed miserably. its funny to me. (i have to laugh or ill cry)
Telling a chronically ill person "at least its not cancer"
Or someone who's disabled due to a tragic accident "it could've been worse it could've disabled you more"
Or anything along the lines of "you could be dead or more disabled be greatful" I hope you rot in a hole where everyone you ever loved forgets you ever existed and you have to sit with that like in coco where you disappear when you're forgotten because that is so insanely rude and even more disgusting and if you don't know how to talk about disabilities without trying to "look on the bright side" or try and cheer people up about it maybe you shouldn't talk about them because some disabilities just are and they're always going to be and there's nothing anyone can do about it
And if someone is dying from their condition but its taking years instead of being fast like tv and stuff portrays it pls for the love of God don't tell them they "aren't dying fast enough" or "weren't you dying last year"
This post is specifically in reference to all the horrible comments able bodied people leave on disabled ppls social media's where the person shares their experiences
why arent more able bodied people fighting for disability advocacy?
see disabled people as humans, as peers, as equals.
we deserve access to everything you do. we deserve the chance to have a happy and comfortable life just as you do.
dont push us out of sight and out of mind.
we do not deserve that. we are equals.
its okay to mourn.
its okay to mourn the childhood you could’ve had.
its okay to mourn the career you could’ve had.
its okay to mourn the children you could’ve had.
its okay to mourn the education you could’ve had.
its okay to mourn the friendships and social life you could’ve had.
its okay to mourn the hobbies you could’ve had.
its okay to mourn the travel you could’ve had.
its okay to mourn the life you could’ve had.
nobody gets to tell you that you need to cheer up.
alright lets get this out of the way.
school bathrooms should be unlocked during school ALWAYS
school children should be allowed to go to the bathroom ALWAYS
school children should NEVER have to ask to go to the bathroom, just tell the teacher that they need to go
schools should NEVER question a child on why they need the bathroom
schools should NEVER make jokes about how often a child uses the bathroom
schools should NEVER get angry at children for using the bathroom
NEVER should a teacher approach a child about their bathroom usage.
if there is a concern or problem with a childs use of the bathrooms, the school should speak to their parent or have a meeting involving the parents and the principle.
if there is misuse of the bathrooms, the school should speak to their parent or have a meeting involving the parents and the principle.
you never know what children could be dealing with, whether they have bladder issues, gi issues, mental health issues or other disabilities. some children may be using the bathroom to hide from bullies, or they may have addiction issues.
it doesnt matter. its shouldnt be the teachers job to police toilet usage. only when there is an issue should limits or supervision be put in place, AFTER meeting with their parents and potentially the student to figure out the reasons for such issues.
i know this is really controversial but im really sick of horror stories from kids like me who dealt with the shit that is school bathrooms
i hate how my illnesses can change how im seen as a person - like because im sick i cant do a lot of things and it makes me seem flaky but i want to be there i just cant
i feel like i'm probably chronically ill in some way, since i can't remember the last time i didn't feel like shit, but my doctor said i wasn't anemic because i've apparently got a "healthy colour", therefore my parent don't care anymore, so i guess this is another thing i can deal with later.
My body once every other month for some fucking reason
“slut era” i whisper to myself as i rot in my bed, sick like a frail victorian child
