one time i was looking at my online medical chart for funsies and cause i was curious, and i had to look up a couple of terms in my diagnosis' cause i had no clue what they were, one of them was "bilateral pes planus" and looking at that i thought it would be something cool cause it has such a fancy name but it just means i have 2 flat feet, which i already knew

thanks @bmoharrisbankofficial but unfortunately i can’t focus on the very important message here because i’m too busy being confused by the fact that apparently if you send an ask with only one letter tumblr will bold that letter in the “asked you” notification text?? why the fuck would that be the case

I think i would like socks if they were like custom fitted to my toes because in normal socks the toe part is equal all the way across and it's awful because it means it's either gonna be too loose on my small toes or too tight on my first and second toe, and both of those options are awful because when it's too loose it's sensory hell and when it's too tight it hurts, but if the socks were made to perfectly fit each of my toes then the sock wouldn't be too tight or too loose anywhere and it would be amazing

And like i know that i can like stretch normal socks into the proper shape but 1) that's either a lot of work for so little reward if i do it manually or a lot of sock wearing, and 2) it makes the top part thinner than the rest and it feels weird and i don't like it

I recently had to convince a friend that childhood pictures of me were actually me, like they straight up didn't believe me, they literally looked at my ears, told me to smile to compare it to the picture, and only after like meticulous comparison did they finally believe that it was me

Me: [stands up too fast] 💫⭐💫⭐💫⭐💫

My entire cardiovascular system: [still sitting on the couch] Idk where the fuck you think you're going, but I am not coming with you

Sometimes in conversation i make funny little haha jokes involving my disabilities and what i want to happen if for them to laugh at my jokes but what sometimes happens, especially if it's with someone i don't know that well, is that they go kinda silent and then say shit like i'm sorry or i hope it gets better? or just changing the topic, and it's so awkward and uncomfortable and i keep doing it because i forget that most people get weird when i joke about that, i just want you to laugh at my joke not pity me

me telling my friends to wait for a sec cause i can't see after standing up

my friends, confused and worried, asking if i'm ok and if i need to sit down and rest, and what can they do to help

me no longer unable to see, all good now let's go

Having a chronic illness is wild, because how do i explain to my friends that a heart rate of 145 bpm is just an everyday occurrence for me and i don’t need to go to the E.R.

Like hold on, i feel like I’m gonna pass out. *pulls out handful of restaurant salt packets*

I have been diagnosed with cfs/me and a few other conditions that cause chronic fatigue and for me it makes me sleepy all the time, like i can always take a nap and my sleep is unfulfilling, and i get tired faster when doing things, and i feel sluggish a lot, and i have trouble getting myself to get up and do stuff but that's probably a combination of adhd executive dysfunction, not wanting to because exercise makes me feel awful, and already being fatigued and feeling awful, i also have a log of brain fog and so my mind also feels very sluggish.

I hope this helps

Pondering fatigue tonight.

I've been some level of fucken exhausted since I was about 12. But recently, as part of DBT and learning how to identify and name emotions and sensations, I've been questioning if I even know what the cause of that feeling is. Because it's not like the feeling other people describe when they talk about chronic fatigue. And I know that doesn't always mean much, people have different words to describe things, and I can't ever remember a time when I haven't been tired, so maybe what they're describing is my baseline that I've just...adapted to.

I know the feeling is very real. It's half of what keeps me from working, this feeling like I'm dragging myself through syrup each day. The desire to curl up and turn myself off after even a small amount of being productive. But I can't pinpoint if that feeling is originating in my body, or in my head. No physical cause has ever been found, but that means little. I have several mental issues that could have fatigue as a symptom/side effect.

I dunno. I doubt it even matters. I don't think it can be medicated, so it's just learning how to cope and how to recognize and respect my energy levels so I can...exist better.

If anyone who has chronic fatigue, diagnosed as such or as a fun little accessory (/s) to another ailment finds this post, can you tell me how fatigue feels to you?

Made the worst brownies ever created just now

i hate that even self proclaimed radicals think "people shouldnt have to work to survive" is too radical. yes yes advocate for fair wages, but dont forget those wages, even if fair, are just a prize you get for being better at capitalism than ppl like me

Off label medications are sometimes really funny, like a bit ago i was taking this antibiotic specifically for one of its side effects, it's like yeah this is an antibiotic but we're gonna use it to make your stomach start moving at a normal pace instead of the slow crawl it usually does

“The average person thinks about the Roman Empire every day” factoid is a statistical error. Tumblr users in March -

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

My dad is honestly a fascinating creature, i've posted about him before so if you've seen those you know what i'm talking about, and today i want to talk about how he doesn't understand personal property only in regards to food.

My dad has always had a bad habit of eating other peoples food, like oh there's a takeout box, must be for me, or oh a labeled food, i'm sure "[NAME'S], DAD DO NOT EAT" means it's fine for me to eat, so much so that we've had to hide food if we don't want my dad to eat it, although thankfully in recent years he's been a lot better about it, but only because i had yelled at him multiple times about it

In a semi recent conversation i have finally found out why this is, you see he seems to have no sense of personal property in regards to food, like he told me about how when he was younger his roommate got super pissed at him for eating his leftovers and so he stopped but he didn't get why the guy was upset, he seems to believe that any food in the house is free game no matter what, and the only reason he has finally stopped is because i finally got it into his skull that it really upsets me, his beliefs haven't changed but at least he's stopped, and i just don't understand his thought process here, he says it's because when he was growing up that's how it was in his house but both my grandma and his siblings refute this, like if they had gotten a snack with their own money it wasn't free game, and his dad had his own ice cream that no one else was allowed to touch, so i really don't get how he has acquired this world view.
