Wild concept that shouldn’t be wild and the coldest take ever: disabled adults are *adults* and not just children trapped in adult bodies
Disabled adults have sex
Disabled adults do drugs
Disabled adults curse
Disabled adults get piercings and tattoos
Disabled adults can make adult decisions and act and behave like adults because we are adults
It’s just so weird for people to constantly infantilize me all because of my mobility aids when I’m not a child!!!

Hot take it’s not actually accessible if I have to ask an abled body person for help or assistance
Anyway, able bodied people need to stop blaming people’s chronic pain on their diets.
Like no mom, my hips aren’t in excruciating pain because I ate a couple cookies last night.
Young people can have back pain. Young people can have joint pain. Young people can require a cane to get around. Young people can have memory problems. Young people can get migraines. Young people can lose their eyesight. Young people can lose their hearing. Young people can lose their teeth and require dentures. Young people can have neurological disorders. Young people can go through menopause. Young people can have heart attacks. Young people can have strokes. Young people can go through all kinds of things you think only happens to older people and they don’t deserve to be invalidated or bullied just because you have never heard of it.
Living with a chronic illness be like:
"I feel like I'm going to die"
5 minutes later...
"Ok, let's see what movie I should watch"
favorite platonic relationships: jake peralta and rosa diaz “Wait, what? You don´t actually think that we won´t be friends anymore if the precinct gets shut down? Rosa, we will never not be friends”
Me: *wakes up from nap* hey body do you feel rested :D
Body: all our bones are frozen. Your muscles have withered. Your hands are numb. You have heartburn, and you're sweating.
Me: Body what the actual fuck.
We all know how annoying it is when someone says "get well soon" so what's a good alternative? What would you rather hear?
I generally say something along the lines of "I hope you feel a bit better soon"
Here are some others I've found:
I hope you get some relief
I hope your pain eases
I hope tomorrow is easier
I hope you have a low-symptom day soon
I hope you can get some nice rest
Wishing you more spoons tomorrow
If there's anything I can take off your plate, please let me know
Hoping for some restful moments for you today
I hope things improve, even just a little
I hope you have something good happen soon, you deserve it
Hang on in there, I'm rooting for you
I hope you get some answers and closure soon
If you need to vent or need a distraction, I'm happy to help, just say the word
Add your alternatives - reblog, drop a comment, or send an ask ✌️
so sick of my body. pretty much been confined to my bed for weeks. sleeping shitty because of pain and my mental health has taken a hit.
just ughhhhh.
the man who owns and runs the thai restaurant in my town knows me by name. he is one of the kindest and most thoughtful men i know. i started ordering from his place back in january, which was when i got my fibromyalgia diagnosis. back then i was using a walker, had limited mobility in my entire body but especially my hands, and was very visibly in pain. i always ordered the same thing: yellow curry with no meat, potatoes and carrots only (i have texture and other dietary issues). he always made it a point to make sure i could get out the door and carry the food safely. he had his workers package the food so that it was easier for me to open. as i kept coming back and i told him a little bit about my health status, he would always encourage me to keep going. he told me about how the spices he used were good for inflammation and began to edit the recipe just for me so that spices that were even better for fighting inflammation were used. he’d give me extra portions and despite the fact that i would tip every time, i realized later that he never charged my card for them. as time went on and my condition began to get better, especially with the help of a physical therapist, he would make encouraging remarks and tell me how happy he was for me. the day i came in without my walker, he practically jumped for joy, and despite my insistence, he gave me my meal for free that day. i continue to make progress with my conditions and i continue to go to the thai place. this man who does not know me personally and who i hardly know anything about is one of my favorite people. it’s interactions with humans like these that make loving life easier. and his curry really does help my chronic condition. it’s comfort food taken to the next level.

when rest and "lazy days" stop being optional, you eventually stop enjoying it. i don't even know how to relax anymore. there's barely any relaxation in rest for me, it's all forced by a sick body.
so delicious
