Title-: Heart Palpitations

Hehe thank you... I uh.... Sorts have a collection

I am absolutely PISSED

I am homeless, disabled, and trying to find housing. I don't qualify since I don't have a I have no income. I asked my social worker about finding housing if my gf lives with me but she doesn't make enough. I asked about getting disability once I receive a proper diagnosis, and I got a MAYBE. Not to mention, I'm so appalled after learning how much disabled people earn in one month. The government wants you to be homeless when you're disabled, and then punsihes you for it.

Say it with me! Wheelchairs aren’t sad! Mobility aids aren’t sad! Mobility aids are instruments of freedom!

Call me a gymnast cause I am jumping through hoops trying to get a diagnosis

Last birthday post!

TW- my inspiration for the art piece is rather sad

A young angel, drowning. Their wings wet, and they can’t fly to safety, snd they can’t call for help. Losing your innocence so young is so difficult, but you’re not alone. You have many supporting you, including me

I'm not at all saying people can't vent or complain about being disabled and chronically ill. I do it all the time. What we go through is beyond difficult

But I'm on my phone a lot cause I don't have the spoons for anything else. I'm always seeing posts about how horrible it is to be chronically ill. It's constant reminder. Its like picking at a wound never meant to heal in the first place. Sometimes I see more positive posts, but they are few and far between. I should make an effort to post some more positive content.

Signs you're getting better that are NOT symptomatic | Chronic Illness Addition

You're adapting: Instead of pushing yourself past your limits, you learn ways to make your life with chronic illness just a little easier. It could be sitting while you beush your teeth, or opting for a bath instead of s shower.

You stop telling yourseld you "aren't disabled enough:" Maybe you're an ambulatory wheel chair user or you don't always need a cane to walk around. Stop telling yourself that just because your chronic Illness differs from day to day, means you aren't disabled enough. Go buy that cane or walker and use it when you need to. You don't need anyone's permission. You don't need to prove anything to anyone

You've learned to ask for help: I know we all want to be independent and not rely on other people for help. But even able body people need help from time to time. Our body function differently, and it's okay to need extra help than the average person. You're not a burden.

You priorities your mental health: Mental health is extremely important especially when dealing with chronic illness. You may be grieving your old body or experiencing jealousy. This is all normal. Ways that have healped my mental health tremendously are making a gratitude list to remind me what I'm grateful for, creating a schedule, and minimizing the time on my phone.
