Do you ever just feel yourself descending into some horrible place? Like, I’m pacing circles into the floor, trying to find something to hold onto, but there’s so many things to do and so many things I can’t do and I think I’m gonna throw up, but I have to get this assignment done and call that doctor and figure out if these meds are making me better or worse and the physical therapist asked me about my future and I cried because sometimes I forget that I even have one,,,and then i end up staring at myself in the mirror for too long and then it’s three am and i have to sleep. Sometimes I’m scared that I’m not cut out for this, but that doesn’t matter, does it? Cause this is all I have. I’m not ready to let it go.

why do people always only expect you to have one thing. one disorder one pet one gender one pronouns one name one favorite movie one crush one best friend. like why do I have an inventory limit
I want to wake up and feel like I've rested, I want to wake up and not feel sore and exhausted for once, even if it is just once.
All I want is one day where I can feel okay, I just want one day where it doesn't hurt.
Here's a cute little drawing I made for people who are scared of snakes
I have both mental and physical disabilities and new friends and people will treat me like I'm fragile or like they're responsible for me when I go out with them and I hate it like just because I have disabilities does not mean I need to be watched over like a child who's suddenly going to have an issue my disabilities do not make me incapable of taking care of and being responsible for my self especially when I have all of my support tools I need with me and I am very prepared for the place I was going to
I hate when I'm finally in less pain then normal and not doing anything else but I just feel too exhausted to do my schoolwork or laundry or anything like if my physical disabilities stop acting up my mental ones start and people take those ones less seriously too and then they just call me lazy for not doing what I need to do and I don't know how to explain to them that even though I'm technically awake non of the gears in my brain or body are up and running for me to be capable of doing things
Disabilities are crazy because prior to 2022 I was chilling, I mean I was asthmatic and I had neurodivergenies I was unaware of but like it was chill
and then two years later boom💥 cane boom💥 knee brace boom💥 drugs boom💥 AHHHHHHH
This is how I feel like not exactly this but two years ago I was doing so much and my migraines were so much less frequent and I had leg and wrist pain sometimes but it was fine
Now it's like boom 💥 heds boom 💥physical therapy boom💥 walker boom 💥more drugs boom💥 possibly pots boom 💥
Like how did everything change so fast
- medical diagnosis can be expensive
- humans are the experts on their own minds
- family may prevent assessment
- diagnosis criteria is a poor checklist of stereotypes
- diagnosis criteria ignores gender, race, sexuality, culture & more
- medical diagnosis confirms autism, but doesn't create it
- discrimination within the medical profession may prevent diagnosis.
- Assessment waiting lists often long
- medical trauma may make assessment unfeasible
I self diagnosed my autism 4 years before I was able to go and get an actual diagnosis as long as people are doing the proper research before self diagnosing there is nothing wrong with it
Yesterday was a no spoons day so I pushed all of yesterday's responsibilities to today and now today is a very few spoons day so and I have just enough energy to either do those responsibilities or take care of my body and on top of that I have an appointment today that I know is going to exhaust me more
i have reblogged this like 10 times and am tempted to print off some copies and stick them on my wall/in my sketchpad/on my art teacher’s face
I went to bed early last night so I could wake up earlier and have a more productive day.
I woke up and understood that was simply not going to happen.
hate how obnoxious abled people get the moment i so much as vaguely imply any part of my disability might possibly be permanent
i understand that the mere concept scares you shitless and your feelings are valid etc but fucking keep it to yourself, yeah? maybe read a book about how not to be an ableist cunt while you're at it
