asking for accomodations shouldn't be this emberassing and shouldn't be a big deal and i shouldn't feel this guilty for needing them
i don’t know. i’m barely a person. i just want to be kind and hold someone’s hand. eat an ice cream cone. stare at the lake. feel the sun on my skin. lay in the grass. run through a sprinkler. it’s so easy to forget life is supposed to feel like a deep breath and not a gasp
pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering, pain and suffering,
me with the trip i wanted to go on
Chronic illness/disability culture is: overdoing it getting ready for an event to the point you can’t even enjoy the event (or possibly might not even make it at all.)
made the typical joke about "being allergic to gravity" today and i got an understanding nod instead of a "wtf"... now i'm the one that's confused
i know i shouldn'r be but i am kinda scared to use my cane out in public alone... i just use it with someone i trust around
the flesh is unwilling and honestly, the spirit isn't too keen on the idea either
me casually overdoing it on a low symptoms day and then wondering the next day why i feel bad
(will i ever learn? probably not)
despite going to the doctor way too often there are still so many things wrong that i don't even know where to start
(the list of things i should probably get checked is loooong)
one good thing about being chronically ill that i learned about this week is when you need to drive your friend to the hospital for drinking too much alcohol you know your way around and exactly where to go
rain is annoying because i don't have the strength to use both a cane and an umbrella...
love leaving the house thinking it's just a few drops of rain and then basically taking a literal shower
