It's amazing how differently people treat you based on what mobility aid you're using. When I'm using my cane I get funny looks from people because I'm a young person and "do you really need that?". Almost nobody holds the door for for me and when I drop something almost nobody helps me pick it up.

When I'm using my forearm crutches people are a little nicer but not by much. I get less funny looks and more people hold the door for me, but still hardly anyone helps me pick up stuff I drop. And if I'm out alone shopping or something, nobody helps me reach stuff on high shelves unless I ask. I get not wanting to come off as ableist by offering to help, but if you see someone clearly struggling you might want to step in.

Now when I'm using my wheelchair, that's a whole different ballgame. Almost everyone is holding doors, helping me pick up stuff, helping me with high shelves, and being really nice to me. But people often infantilize me when I'm using a wheelchair. They always smile at me, which sounds nice, but it's usually in a way you would smile at a little kid out in public. If I'm with someone then people will talk to them instead of me, and if I'm alone people will talk slowly to me or in a high pitched voice.

It's literally not that hard to be normal around disabled people I just don't get it.

“None of us know for sure what’s out there. That’s why we keep looking. Keep the faith. Travel hopefully. The universe will surprise you constantly.” - The Doctor

I don’t talk about it very often on this blog but I have a rare neuropathic condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. It causes me constant, debilitating full-body pain along with a host of other symptoms that affect every aspect of my life.

I got sick when I was 9 years old. I am 25 now and over the years my condition has deteriorated. I’ve developed several comorbidities which in combination have become life threatening.

In 2021 I was admitted to hospice. I was only able to make it through with the support of my friends who found new treatment options and set up a fundraiser for me. I’m beginning another round of treatment soon and with your help I will be able to afford the care I need during this lengthy recovery process.

These last few years have been the hardest of my life, but also the most hopeful. This disease has taken so much from me but I refuse to give up. I know I have a future, I just need help getting there.

You can help by donating, reblogging this post and sharing my fundraiser. Every bit helps!!!

having multiple chronic illnesses is experiencing new symptoms that would have anyone else rushing to the hospital and just being like huh thats new and then you just carry on like normal

A while back I went to a new GP or primary doctor and I had my mom with me at the time. He was amazing and I really liked him.... Until I went to an appointment on my own without an advocate/witness... And he literally laughed at me and told me I was a hypochondriac (over a heart issue that another doctor told me to take seriously btw. And I also have a condition that affects non-conscious bodily functions.) I requested a different doctor for my next appointment and explained to the admins why I was doing so.. well, it's been a couple of years but I just got an email from the practice informing me that he was let go... It's not major, but I know that other chronic illness peeps will understand my utmost joy in receiving that news.

Being a teenager who is chronically ill

Being a teenager who is chronically ill is so frustrating sometimes. Let alone how awful you feel every day, it doesn't help when you see old friends of yours Instagram stories and see how easily they can just live their lives. I know it's an irrational frustration, it's not their fault I'm sick, it's just so sad sometimes when you come to the realization that you will never have a normal teenage experience.

Wishing my chronic pain could manifest as a person so I can yell, with all my pent up anger, sadness, frustration and grief 'IM TAKING BACK THE LIFE YOU STOLE'

did you know that i have a patreon you can subscribe to for as little as $2 a month?

⭐️ patreon.com/lalalychee ⭐️

you'll get to see work-in-progresses of all of my paintings that are posted nowhere else (such as the painting wip in this post), and you can ask for in-depth art advice to your heart's content ❤️ i also post makeup tutorials, vlogs, and anything else you feel inclined to request!

i am physically disabled with a very severe and rare disease called CRPS (aptly nicknamed the suicide disease because it is so horrific), and subscribing to my patreon helps me pay for my neverending medical bills. ideally i would one day no longer have to work a desk job at all and be able to rely solely on patreon and art so that i can operate on a schedule that works with my pain levels better, so this is a really important way to support me.

sharing this post to help get the word out is also so appreciated ❤️ thank you
