Able Bodied People Will Decide You’re Not Disabled Over *checks Notes* The Shoes You Wear

I recently got noise cancelling headphones because I have a lot of sensory issues and misophonia. I have been hesitant to use them because I don't want them to be a crutch but that's stupid. If you need to wear headphones to do the dishes because the sound of silverware clanking together makes you feel like dying then do it. If you need that aid then use it.

(Badly) Explained PDs

Cluster A

SzPD: I am so Normal right now :) *feeling Nothing at All, trapped inside the Meat Prison*

StPD: 'Got a little bit too eccentric' disorder

PPD: Constantly checking behind them because the fear of getting backstabbed is just Too Real

Cluster B

BPD: *intense FP-related sobbing* *goes back to watching TV like nothing happened a few seconds later*

NPD: I may not be God but Goddamnit let me have this moment

HPD: Please look at me please talk to me please compliment me please I am so pretty

ASPD: Fuck around and find out

Cluster C

DPD: where are all the people. help. I could go for a Person right about now

Other

Ableds be like, if I eat this diet/do this exercise/wear or don’t wear these clothes/live this lifestyle I’ll never become disabled!

Buddy have I got some harsh news for you…

have to switch meds AGAIN ugh I couldn't handle going to sleep at 10:30 on this latuda, I'm convinced this medication is actually a tranquilizer like y am I so tired

I’ll say things like “oh I’m just not in a good place mentally right now” like when have I ever been in a fucking good place mentally

something that genuinely annoys me as a chronically ill person is getting constantly asked only about my health. how are you? how are you dealing with it mentally? im the same as always. this is my normal. i don't want to be constantly asked about it. cant you be interested in something else about me. not my health. ask me about what I've been doing. what am i listening to. any fun dreams ive had. it gets really depressing very fast when every single interaction with others ends up starting with your chronic illnesses.

like i know it feels fucking different to you and you with your perfect health can't even imagine how someone is living like this. but this is my life. this is my normal. and id like to get treated like im more than just my illness

they should make a version of grad school that doesn’t exacerbate your mental illness(es)

avpd culture is getting jealous of people talking about having a safe person. you guys are getting to be yourself safely around someone?

this song has me so unwell

Can y'all please stop using words like "delusional", "psychotic", and "narcissistic" as insults. These are terms used to describe mental illness. Mental illness does not make people evil, stop acting like does.
