i just wanted to say you're not gross if you deal with gastrointestinal issues. even if people treat your symptoms and disorders like they're disgusting, they're not. they're genuine health problems- health includes your entire body. if you are having issues digesting/processing foods, eating, controlling your bowels or having diarrhea or constipation issues or frequent gas and bloating, you're not gross. if you need a colostomy bag, you're not gross. if you need to use diapers you're not gross. if you frequently vomit you're not gross. if you deal with acid reflux and chronic heartburn you're not gross.
people and even doctors will treat people with these kinds of issues like we're disgusting but we're just people with health issues. a GI issue is no less worthy of attention than a broken bone. it doesn't matter where it's located in the body you still need help with it. there are many issues people can have with digestion that aren't necessarily "gross" and they don't deserve to be looked down on. you deserve care and respect from everyone in your life. you don't deserve to be treated like your health problems don't matter
i find it interesting the overlap of c-ptsd symptoms with autistic traits.
i get asked all the time if im autistic. i even started questioning it myself just from how often this happened to me.
but while yes i have a lot of symptoms that are a part of many autistic peoples experiences, i wasnt always this way. i developed these symptoms throughout my childhood as i went through more and more trauma.
i remember when i wasnt sensitive to noise, light, etc. i remember when my social abilities were practically the same as my neurotypical peers. i remember when i never needed to carry stim toys everywhere i went. just to name a few.
anyways, i have so much in common with my autistic friends. while we arent the same, we get each other on a level that i havent found with many neurotypicals. ive also found that i often gravitate towards autistic people without meaning to.
i think its nice that we can find community where we didnt really expect it.
What if Bloom was a playable character in HSR?
• vidyadhara
• probably grew up on Belobog (or just another planet)
• i think Daphne could be one of her prior incarnations
• fire hunt🏹🔥 + inflicts Burn
• FuA (I think Kiko would be a summon)

This sketch is so messy omg I'll probably make a redraw and add more detail to her top when I have time
i feel so disconnected from myself and my life, it kinda feels like im on autopilot or smth
life doesnt feel very real or tangible, it feels distant
losing yourself in world events is extremely easy right now. reminder that its okay to take a step back and rest. you need to be able to breathe before you can help others to.
if invulnerable means i dont feel the affects of my chronic illnesses, then i would probably do something super cool and crazy.
id clean my house.
30 whole minutes a month of pain/fatigue free cleaning??? do you know what i could accomplish??? id be unstoppable. maybe id also do a cartwheel or smth for funsies
If you could become immortal and invulnerable for 30 minutes once every month (it has to be all at once, you can't chop the time into smaller segments and use minutes separately), what fuckery would you commit?
healthy coping looks different for everyone right, but i really wish it was easier to figure out what was right for me without all this trial and error stuff 😭
Autism Speaks Canada is "concluding its operations" on January 31st 2025!
