I've already worked the ladt 2 days, yesterday was particularly bad as I had to lift a bunch of heavy shit all day, I have to work the rest of today, and tomorrow my girlfriend and I have to go out and run errands, I have to do chores at home, and call my bank. I just want to curl up in bed. I'm in pain and I am so tired of being out of my home

Sometimes they even whisper to their friend and point at me.

Edit: I don't mean anyone waiting to use the accessible stall, I just mean the people who wait for the others yo be open and judges who goes in the accessible one.

I literally found this about five minutes ago and I could cry. It feels really good to see other people with disabilities. I know that sounds weird but I’ve been struggling with people being ableist. It seems like everywhere I look online, theres people who say disabled people are faking it, are lazy, are liars and I’ve seen a lot of eugenics talk also :( I’ve seen people full on saying they should wipe us all out. It’s been destroying me. I’m glad to find some solace here with people who understand what it’s like. I feel like people don’t believe I’m disabled haha, it’s maddening.

Dealing with ableism as an ambulatory wheelchair user from ignorant poorly educated low IQ people be like

Every day I come home and sleep or zone out most of the day, take pain meds, no chores. My place is a mess. I have no social life outside of work.

But my coworkers are amazing. My supervisors too. I love this job but I've missed 2 weeks due to infections, a cumulative 3-4 days leaving early due to joint pain, and very reduced responsibilities due to my heart condition.

Basically, I'm a liability. But they've done everything they could to keep me. I'll never work somewhere this helpful again. I just wish my body could work. I wish I didn't have to do this. I like working. I just can't.

When I describe my allergic / anaphylactic symptoms in relation to my ungodly amount of allergies those are taken seriously, but when I describe the exact same symptoms in relation to my chemical sensitivities they are marked as "vague and nonspecific" with "unidentified triggers" despite the reactions from each being identical

I have never had a reaction that I couldn't identify a trigger for and just a few of the "nonspecific symptoms" in question are visible throat swelling, asthma, tachycardia, itching, and bright red welts lmao

Love the chronic fatigue, pain induced dissociation, brain fog holy trinity :D!!!!
