you can trust the signals your body is sending you. whatever physical symptom you're experiencing is real. your pain, fatigue, weakness, numbness, unsteadiness, malaise, dizziness, nausea - all of it is real. i believe you. even if you, doctors, friends, or family dont. i believe you.

you should have never had the idea that you cannot be the authority on your own body put in your head. you are the only person on this planet who can convey what you are going through. no one has the right to take that from you. please believe in and advocate for yourself. and know you deserve to have someone advocating for you, too.

My visually impaired friend can’t read this stuff. So I fixed it up just for him to be able to read it! :)

This was useful too; I'm just happy we're going to have a BOOK, a real COOKBOOK for chronically ill and disabled people TOO.

So I don't use a lot of social media for this very specific reason: I find that there are a lot of ableist and stigmatized attitudes and I no longer have the energy to fight sometimes. (I realize this is a stereotype but I am speaking from my experience.) But outside of Tumblr, I do have a friend/dating (am not dating just use for friends/meeting people in my area) app installed that I mostly ignore. However, today, I got a notification that the app's question of the day was "Would you date someone who is disabled and can't walk?" Here are some of the top posts from that. As a disabled person, I am thoroughly disgusted. (Except by the meme. That person wins.)

I used to be part of this (sometimes unknowingly) ableist culture and actually identified as differently abled myself because I was so high-masking. I used to think that because I was AuDHD I could say differently abled because I was super creative. But that's not showing the full picture. My autism is disabling in the sense that I have meltdowns if things don't go a certain way, I have to have my things sorted in a certain way before I can play with them, there are certain rules/I can be bossy/very rigid when engaging with others because I don't understand social rules. The list goes on.

It's called a disability because it disables you. My autism doesn't make me fucking superman. I can't fly because of it. I can't do things that neurotypical people can't. Sometimes I can notice patterns? But I also have multiple meltdowns and it takes me 45 minutes+ to figure out how to fix an error I made when I accidentally shipped something to the wrong place....I have a master's degree and had a 4.0 in grad school. I was HIGH MASKING because I knew how to play the game. Just because I look like I can do things doesn't mean I'm not just scripting my way through it. I just read a lot and like research. I used to write 20 page research papers for fun. My EDS, fibromyalgia, and POTS all impact my ability to stand and walk. I use a wheelchair the majority of the time. That also doesn't suddenly mean I can see through walls or have telekinesis.

You know what it means? It means I lay in bed the majority of the time with my heating pad, THC cream, muscle relaxers, ibuprofen, and numerous braces, and just try to not go out of my mind. Which is hard when you're also mentally disabled. So like that person is just spreading harmful misinformation.

Let's talk about the person who said they can't run away. O.o Like I assume they're joking but like that's hella creepy. Red flags. I'll hit him with my cane if I have to.

it's not a moral failing if you're fat and it harms your health. your fatness doesn't make your disability or illness your fault. the quality of your health does not make you flawed. it doesn't define who you are.

you are a whole person, and your fatness and health concerns are morally neutral. they're natural.

Weathering the Storm of Fate: Chapter Three

Louis / Harry | 9.6K | Work in Progress

Leia Tomlinson, daughter to single-father, Louis Tomlinson is diagnosed with an incurable condition, Endometriosis. Her struggles fail to go unnoticed, her life impacted by the chronic condition. Leia faces a life of turmoil, new challenges and decisions; impacting not only her relationship with steady boyfriend Jake, but her friendship, (soon to be siblings) with Harry Styles' daughter's, Constance and Dorothy. Without the teenage girls' setups and fun-fuelled scheming, Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles would never have imagined to fall in love, never mind become engaged to be married. Their wedding falls onto the backburner, Leia's health being the utmost priority.
