Shoutout to anyone whose disability is invisible and/or never taken seriously.

Shoutout to anyone who feels Too Disabled for general society but Not Disabled Enough to take up space in the community

Shoutout to anyone whose validity is often challenged when they enter "safe spaces" bc they don't meet society's expectations of disability

I'm sorry and hang in there. Your experiences are valid and your disability is real.

VENT WARNING ( swearing )

Ok this is a small vent, not sfw considering im about to swear in this because im so angry :3 so my apologies.

Venting about Chronic Illness and the Mental health support system they offer ( dont offer ) in Hospitals.

Ahem

so this past month has sucked so bad. Ive had flare ups, constant nausea, being sick at my stomach, etc. Calls with doctors are annoying, I hate doing it, even if its online idc i hate it, i hate i have to actually do that shit. I hate having to schedule appointments for shit i dont want to do, having to go into the hospital AGAIN HAHA, while I live with my sister who doesnt have to go through ANYTHING LIKE THIS. im so jealous i hate her for it. I love her but im so fucking mad that she got all the good genes. Its not fucking fair, its never fucking fair. It makes me feel like shit, absoulte shit. Not to mention she gets compliments whenever we go out, when i go out with her, and no one EVER FUCKING says shit to me. That really hurts, ontop of being self concilus of my body, health, and the overall mind crushing fear no one will ever fucking love me. My looks, my health, i have nothing to fucking offer. It hurts, it really hurts. Aside from that horrific reality, i wanna rant about mental health. When I had a huge thing happen to me in the hospital at age 12, no one offered me shit. No one helped me mentally, no one reached out and told me to ask for help. So ofc i was like yeah okay guess this is how it is, and that was the worst thing i could have ever of done for my mental state. Im in shambles, I cant reach out for help now even at 22, idk how, idk who to go to. I dont want to look weak and vulnerable cus like “hey shes been doing this since she was 12” i was a fucking kid, i was a child man. Thats so fucking unfair. Dont call me a trooper, dont praise me for doing the bare fucjing minimum, it feels so condescending and hurtful. So pitiful. I dont want their stupid fucking pity, yet now somehow i depend on it, i need it and fucjing crave it at the same time. Its pathetic. Im a horrible person, I hate myself and I hate my body, I hate doctors, I hate that they dont force you to get help, i hate that no one helped me.

I guess what i wanna say to anyone, if anyone reads this, if you need help, even if you dont feel like you do, YOU DO, AND YOU WILL. reach out and get some help, talk to someone, get a therapist. please reach out and get help. This is so exhausting. I hate showing vulnerabilty esp when it comes to my mental health, idk why im so ashamed of it. It doesnt make sense.

Reach out, get help, heal.

So incredibly frustrated after therapy today.

We were talking through my main intrusive thoughts of the week, which mainly revolved around me having head lice. Which I don’t, but that’s the nature of intrusive thoughts. Anyways my therapist then start asking me if like contamination and being infected with illnesses bothers me, which it doesn’t. But she brings up that I always wear a mask, sanitise my hands before eating, etc. And I knew where she was going with this! Which is so fucked up because she literally knows I’m high risk for covid and that I HAVE to mask (and everyone should anyways) and I need her to as well.

So then I had to explain to her that, no, it’s not an intrusive thought, I actually can’t and don’t want to get covid. And I have no intrusive thoughts surrounding germs or illnesses. Only thoughts about moral stuff and being “gross” or “inconsiderate” to others (hence the lice thought). But I feel like she didn’t believe me!!! Like don’t use my mental illness against me to make it seem like being covid conscious is crazy!!!

The thing about getting sicker is you often find yourself missing things that were key parts of your idenity without even realizing it. Runs fade to walks, late nights turn to mid day naps, old hobbies are left to gather dust, clean and ordlery rooms end up messy and covered in piles of cloths, old fashion is left on hangers in dark closets.

It often happens so slowly no one even notices. Then someone says they had no idea you even liked sewing (shaky hands make threading needles hard). Or you'll notice that it's the exact kind of awful weather you used to love, but now it only means aching joints and an oncoming headache.

The thing about getting healthier (not truly recovering, there is no true cure) is that it has the same effect. It so often leaves you wondering if you were ever truly healthy. As your body changes to feel right in a way that leaves you wondering how you didn't know it felt wrong before. The very texture of flesh and the movment of muscle and bone feel altered. Clothes fit differently, and that's only the things that are noticeable. It's like learning to be a person in a body you never realized was full of holes. Only now some of the holes are covered by patchwork, and others still leak. You don't remember how to prevent them from leaking, you need to re-learn that.

It's not that you didn't know there was something wrong with this body, quite the opposite, actually. It's just... you never realized just how much every part of everything would change.

Sometimes it's hard to know what parts of you remain.

Other people who are chronically ill, do your parents ever say things to you like "I hope we can find a way to get you feeling better so you can get a job and make money"?

Chronic Illness

It demands silence

and it has the upper hand

this body of mine,

I have little say or choice,

it thinks I should just adjust.

Pro tip: if you're starting to experience chronic pain that you're not sure if/when it'll go away, DO NOT take ibuprofen and Tylenol on a tight rotation!! Your body will become immune to it for the most part and it won't work when you really need it.

My parents and doctors told me to do this so obviously I did, and now I really wish I didn't because any time I'm in more pain than my baseline or I get injured, I can't just take over the counter pain killers. I just have to endure. Which sucks and I don't want you to have to!

Also, don't try to OD on these either. That'll raise your tolerance as well from what I've heard and know.

….. I used to be the fucking carb QUEEN. The I got diagnosed with celiac disease 😂😩😒 as an autistic person who ate freaking pasta, bread, and sandwiches every day. I kid you not, every day, I was SO upset about the taste and texture Change. GF can still be so delicious... But the texture will never be the same man... It just won't.

Next appointment for chronic illness stuff is tomorrow, pretty stressed about it.

He's very nice so far, but I find most doctors are NOT happy about me being a scientist, and even less happy about how good I've become at tracking symptoms and researching them. But after over 10 years of medical gaslighting like what else was I going to do...

Still pretty sure my second chronic illness is a lupus.

Tomorrow I hope when I tell him that he actually listens😅. Wish me luck💘

I've been feeling pretty sick for a long time now but good news is it's mold sickness, the reason that's a good thing is bc I thought I was just suffering from some ambiguous chronic illness for like two years now but it turns out I just have to clean out my fucking air conditioner, so I'm pretty stoked that I'm not just going to be horribly sick on and off the rest of my life
