Who Do I Talk To About Like. NOT Being Disabled Anymore.

I'm certain this is on Tumblr somewhere, but I haven't seen it around, so I'm sharing it myself

Your honor he’s so babygirl.

(The blanket he’s on in the first photo is from felineoracle.com btw, highly recommended it for y’all divination girlies)

reminder: you are not a useless person if you can’t get out of bed today. there are days the best thing you can so is to rest. you don’t owe society to be productive all the time, neither it defines you worth. you are a person, not a machine, and you should be respected as an individual. learn to listen to your body and respect its need to rest.

He think, he blink, he dink

Me: I am mentally and physically disabled and therefore am not capable of working as much or as hard as most people. I need to remember this and not push myself too hard.

My body after a long day: *collapses from physical and emotional exhaustion after I’ve pushed myself too hard*

Me: 😲????? Who could have foreseen this😲😲😲😲?????

Here is my boi Geordi, I will never draw him again because I literally only write about him, enjoy the one time you'll see him.

Anyway don’t be like me, listen to your body and take breaks when you need to. That goes for stuff other than exercising too, like if you’re doing any type of activity and you feel your brain and body start to be like “heeeeeeeey can we slow down?” That’s a sign that you should take a breather, or dial it back, or whatever. Knowing how and when to listen to your body is your most important tool to manage your symptoms.

It’s also an important tool to help you like. Be a happier, chiller person.

Yet again stuck in the pattern of

Works out to help my fatigue -> experiences joint pain because I was too rough -> takes a day to rest because of my joint pain -> experiences fatigue because I haven’t been working out -> works out to help my fatigue -> becomes the chronically ill equivalent of Sisyphus, trapped in a self inflicted loop of being tired and achey all the time

The FINAL MOUSE……

(For now)

(As far as you know)

This was the intended tone, so glad the encouraging frat bro energy shined through on this one

Dude for real though your worth as a human being is not dependent on how productive or “useful” you are. You could do nothing but lay in bed all today and you’d still be worthy of respect and care. Bro you are a living breathing human being and your life has inherent value. Like straight up you don’t have to do something impossible or world changing with your time on earth in order for you to matter. We are all specks of dust in the cosmos and the fact that you exist at all means you are important. Dude you don’t have to earn the right to live bro, like I swear bro, like no cap.

Do I find Tumblr’s UI to be ridiculously frustrating and confusing? Yes. Have I had multiple crashes and over a dozen glitches since I redownloaded this app today? Yes. But do I want to watch Ryan and Shane talk about poor little meow meows or sexy horror movie villains or whatever the fuck? Yes, yes I do.
