i love how sometimes, despite all the medical advancements of the 21st century, the only thing that relieves pain is sitting/laying/standing in a weird position because it places/doesn't place pressure on certain spots

#i spent the last 30 to 60 min with my face planted on to my bed to help the migraine go away #it worked and my back got a nice stretch as well #sometimes the solution is becoming a frog and i love that #chronic illness #chronic pain is a bitch #chronic life #chronic pain #chronic fatigue #chronically ill #invisible disability #disabled #disability #disbaled #physical disability #disabilties #cpunk #physically disabled #cripplepunk #queer cripple #cripple punk #crip punk #cripple shit #cripple life #cripple posting #cripple problems #c punk #pots syndrome #pots awareness #potsie #chronic disability

Shout out to the ten year old who just got diagnosed. Shout out to the housebound fourteen year old. Shout out to the eighteen year old who can’t go to the university they wanted. Shout out to the twenty two year old who can’t get a job. Shout out to the twenty six year old with a caretaker. Shout out to the thirty year old who can’t buy their own house.

Shout out to young disabled people. We exist.

do able-bodied bodied people not understand that if disabled people call out of work every time they don't feel good that we would call out of work every fucking day?

like honestly. what do you think being disabled means?

oh hey btw, apparently tumblr mobile now has an option to report ads for having flashing lights, if you click the three dots in the top right corner it should show up. not sure how long thats been there but i dont remember it being there at least a few months back, i would venture to guess it came with the recent update but shrug. fucking ridiculous that they cant just not put flashing ads in our faces in the first place, but at least this is an option.

people who dont have issues with flashing lights are allowed and encouraged to reblog

shout out to the california government make it a mind feild to get a court order to change your legal name and then get the documents to send to the state to tell them you changed your name and then to get all your important documents amended / get a new one

also good luck if you have auditory processing issues because every government building either has so many people that its hard to hear and also the person at the counter speaks at volume level -75 OR theres some fuck ass noise in the background from god knows what machine doing who knows what and you get a migraine and the person at the counter also speaks at volume level -75. and i think she's french. she had that vibe of a pretentious french person.

also everything takes 7,000 years to file and will cost you like somewhere between $400-$600 to tell the government you changed your name and for them to give you a special piece of fancy paper that you need to get all your correct legal documents

gentle parenting myself while i still live at home takes so much energy because it would be so easy to regress and act petty or to lash out or to be passive aggressive the way my parents taught me to be.

it takes so much conscious mental effort to stop my self to not undo all of the un-learning when im around my family. and i just need someone to be proud of me

#tw truama #tw childhood abuse #tw childhood trauma #manipulation #manipulative parents #tw toxic parents #toxic parents #toxic household #gentle parenting #unlearning abuse #healing journey #its just one of those days where i wished that i had emotionally mature parents who taught me to regulate my emotions #but on the bright side i am now fueled with motivation to be better than any of family will ever be #gots to go study!! #someone be proud of me

seeing people my age talk about how scared they are of memory loss, which they only associate with old age, is so surreal to see as a 24 year old who has actively experienced memory loss for a long time now

there are causes for memory loss besides dementia and alzheimer’s, i hope y’all know that. dissociative disorders, trauma, brain injuries, thyroid problems, even just stress and lack of sleep can fuck up your ability to store, process, and access memory. and that’s just a few of the many causes i can think of off the top of my head right now.

please stop treating disabled people like some scary “other” that you might become only in the distant, decades-away future. we are your age, too. you may become one of us sooner than you know. stop acting like memory loss marks the end of a life, when so many of us have so much living left to do!

#was anyone going to tell me #thyroid problems cause memory issues #or was i just supposed to find that out on tumblr #maybe they did tell me and i forgot

Successful trans men

I wish I knew about men like these growing up, I wish I knew that trans men could be successful after a lifetime of never seeing anyone ‘like me’ excelling in life. So here are some trans men - some that you may have heard of, some that you may not - that are successful in a range of careers. Never let being trans hold you back, never think you can’t do something, never think there is not a place for you.
