Hiiiii, making a new post because the last one lost traction

I have hyperthyroidism and it's ruining my life. I'm on the autism spectrum and I already can't work many days, and now I have to miss work a lot because of my symptoms. So I'm having a hard time paying all my bills and my credit card is way too loaded.

Sadness is allowed. I often feel bad for being sad, but I’m trying to get better at accepting and allowing the emotion. Sadness is a normal and expected feeling!

Self care checkpoint!

Listen to your body, take a second to feel what you're missing/what you need rn.

If you need any of the following:

A drink (not just water, tea also works, as does juice, if it tastes good it'll be easier to drink)

A snack

A proper meal

To take your meds (please)

A nap

A good talk with a friend

A hug

A walk outside

A stretch (especially you artists out there)

Some exercise (yes I hate it too, yes it's still good to get now and then)

Cuddles with your pet (if possible/appropriate)

Then try and get any of those you need.

I care about you random stranger, I want you to be good to yourself.

And if you can't do all of these things, or any of them, just make sure you still love yourself. It's hard to exist sometimes but it's worth the effort.

If you dare come at me about banning straws, I will throw you into the sun cannon. I’m disabled, I’m crippled, I need disposable plastic straws, and all those pricey ridiculous alternatives aren’t working as well. Plastic straws were invented for the disabled.

Way to shit all over a vital access need because you think straws are worse than corporate greed.

We all care about the turtles, the seals, the oceans, obviously. Notice how the easiest thing to yell about was something that would barely affect anything but appealed heavily to emotional discourse.

The disabled community is huge, and it can be joined by anyone. Most of those As Seen On TV products were invented for us. Society still mocks us and ignores us, and often outright harms us in multiple ways.

Communicate better. Listen better. But stop putting us out in the cold because you are inconvenienced by our simplest needs.

Do not judge yourself for needing rest or for needing even more rest than you usually do. Give yourself what you need to the degree that is possible, and please don’t be harsh on yourself. No one ever needed less rest because someone went “hey! Rest less! How dare you!”. We don’t work like that. And I hope you are met with understanding, love and support. 🌸
