me: I'm done grieving, I already accepted my illness and all it brings with it, it's totally ok

also me on a random tuesday: my life is never going back to what it was, I'm never going to be able to do the things I loved the most the same, it's over and I gotta learn to live with that but it's kinda impossible because I'm so young and I had so many dreams and so many things I wanted to do that I can't anymore, at least not without all this pain and suffering

"Remember when..."

No, I wasn't there. Nope. Not that one either.

That was when I first became ill and I was barely able to leave my bed and no one visited me for months.

Mine's out for the kill, buddy keeps stabbing me in the neck.

There is a highly irritating ghost standing behind me, just stabbing me repeatedly.

YOUR DAILY REMINDER: DO NOT TOUCH A DISABLED PERSON'S MOBILITY AIDS.

if you randomly push a disabled person's wheelchair. you are taking part of their autonomy.

if you knock away a disabled person's crutches. you are taking part of their autonomy.

if you grab a disabled person's cane. you are taking part of their autonomy.

if you move a disabled person's rollator/walker. you are taking part of their autonomy. I don't think people understand that our mobility aids are an extension of our bodies. You wouldn't kick an abled person in the shins or grab their arms and twist them just to see how they would react, or see if they'd be able to get around and function. You treat us like a joke. Our mobility aids aren't toys that you can play with and fidget with and god forbid potentially break. They're part of us. You have no right to touch them. If you take my fucking cane away from me, I can't walk properly.

If you touch my fucking mobility aid, you take away part of my autonomy.

#also don't joke repeatedly about grabbing their mobility aid and running off with it #don't touch my bloody mobility aids or i WILL hit you with them #mobility aid user #cane user #chronic pain #disabled #physically disabled #cripplepunk #crip punk #c-punk #cpunk

school: here's an option that would work around some of your issues

me: great

*several months later*

school: doing that means you didn't meet this requirement that we never told you about when we offered that option :)

Has anyone else struggled trying to use a symptom tracker because then you are much more aware of your symptoms and they feel worse because you're focusing on them?

I know I should track my symptoms so I can better find patterns but I'm not going to when it makes them worse.
