“Childhood trauma can affect a person so greatly because of its prescence in the time of developmemt. Events that would normally change a person become embedded in every fiber of one’s identity. It is this time of life which is so crucial to your entire future. This is the unique nature of C-PTSD, which doesn’t merely change a person, it creates them. It builds every trait, interest, and understanding of the world with this toxin. Nothing is unaffected or unaltered because all there is to alter was created by the trauma. Moving forward is not moving back to before the trauma, it is in every essence a rebirth and reeducation of life itself. To move on we can not erase, because to erase trauma’s effect we in theory erase ourselves.”

Reblogging for THE ART HOLY SHIT
Add “distress” to your pain scale
Pain scale? More like pain in the booty. No two people seem to read it the same way, and chronic folks tend to downplay their pain.
So here’s an idea: when asked to rate your pain, provide a number to rate your distress levels in addition to your pain levels.
Some examples:
“I’m at a 5 on the pain scale, but my distress is basically a 1 because this is my usual.”
“I’m at a 3 on the pain scale, but my distress is a 7 because this is new pain and affects a part of my body that’s very important to my work.”
It’s a great way to consider how your pain is impacting you—and to get a doctor’s attention where it’s actually needed.

Wishbone was a PBS series about a terrier that assumed the role of literary characters like Frankenstein and Odysseus and dressed up.
I’ve found it’s very hard to explain this one to people who weren’t there.
I watched this show well past the age of its target audience because it was awesome
I need a primer on how to respond to people who are bigoted/ignorant about invisible disabilities, especially chronic illness and mental illness. Google gave me nothing, but this seems like the kind of thing that should exist on tumblr. Does this exist?
“…because now society’s collective mind has been reprogrammed to think that people that suffer from chronic illness or disability, their narrative story should follow that of a 1980’s sports movie montage, wherein you receive your diagnosis, you go through a brief period of depression, you have some inspiring conversations with friends and family, and then you cowboy up. You write that novel, you go to college and get your advanced degree, you run a marathon. Whatever it is, there is a definite thread that you are expected to follow because we see so many of these inspiring, overcoming-at-all-odds stories, when in fact they are extra-ordinary achievements. They are not the normal, and should not be used as a baseline to judge all chronically ill people against. It’s completely unfair and unrealistic. For so many people that suffer from things like fibromyalgia, and chron’s, and ulcerative colitis, their Rocky Balboa moment for the day might be finding the strength to just take a shower, to stand in their own kitchen and fix themselves something to eat before they have to crawl back to bed because just that much effort is too painful or too exhausting for them. And yet our society looks down on those people now, we judge them as somehow lacking because they’re not rising up to achieve all these great things. We have completely unrealistic expectations of them thanks to too many inspiring stories. So now we look at them and judge them as somehow inferior, somehow weaker. They don’t want it enough.They’re not trying hard enough to just be better.”

And the “inspiring” things they expect us to do (like running a marathon) are often more than they, with healthy bodies, will do.
