Reminder
Your pain (physical/mental/emotional) is valid even if nobody can see it
Your pain is valid even if you have no physical symptoms
Your pain is valid even if there is no physical injury
Your pain is valid even if others tell you it's not
Your pain is valid even if you do not have a life threatening disease
Your pain is valid even if you don't have a diagnosis
Your pain is valid even if you do have a diagnosis
Your pain is still valid even if nobody believes you
Your pain is still valid even if you are too "young" for the problem/issue
Your pain is valid even if the health care advisor/anybody tells you that it's in your head
Your pain is valid no matter what the conditions are
Your pain is valid.
Pain does not discriminate between age, gender, race, nationality etc. Just because you can't see pain, doesn't mean it's not there.

The Mole: Undercover in North Korea
Or “How a former cook who’s on disability because he struggles with chronic pain and a guy with raging ADHD who used to sell drugs to the rich and famous fucked over the North Korean elite”
I’ve been watching the documentary and had to draw the two main players Ulrich and Jim because they’re so distinct and the whole thing feels like a first draft to a spy movie.
Ulrich is quiet, soft spoken and extremely good at blending into the walls. The way he’s described is “If he robbed a bank you wouldn’t be able to describe him”. He infiltrated a Danish Friends of North Korea group for seven years until he was so respected in North Korea that he just had to flash his medal and they pretty much let him do whatever.
Jim on the other hand is bombastic and loud. He jumps into the whole thing with both feet first and pulls on all his experiences with rich people. “How do you act like a rich person? Just be an asshole HAHAHAHA!”
Together they expose some of the worst people from all over the world and the documentary doesn’t shy away from showing how Ulrich fights through his pain to do the job and Jim mentions several times how his ADHD is both a gift and a hindrance, like when he makes up a company name on the spot and begs his brain to “Please please remember that name!”
In fact, it’s made clear they’re the right people for the job specifically because their chronic pain and ADHD has prepared them for it. It very much feels like a big fat middle finger to people who think people with disabilities are useless.
I watched it on the Danish DR app but BBC helped fund the documentary so most of it is in English and it should be available in other places too if you’re curious.

I hate to get to this point but I'm running out of options and time.
I am a disabled chronically ill trans man. After graduating college I moved to a new town and I had a job for about 2 weeks before it had to close down permanently and I've been unemployed ever since it's been about 4 months. I also don't qualify for unemployment which means I have been just slowly draining what little I have in my bank account every once in awhile getting small amounts of money here and there but not nearly enough to pay my rent utilities or get the things I need for my health.
One of my biggest fears is getting separated from my cat and I know that sounds silly but we are very bonded and need each other. She has taking care of me since my health started to decline. A lot of the time she doesn't even let me be in a different room than her and most of the pictures I have with her she's on top of me. I know she would struggle without me and I would struggle so much without her I can't lose her. If I end up being able to pay my rent and lose housing I probably wouldn't be able to take her with me
I am trying to get my small business up and running and get more clients I am trying to apply for disability and I am trying desperately to find a job. Even if I get support I'm not going to stop trying to do those things I just need help to give me more time.
Another way to support me is to support my tarot reading business the information for that is pinned on my account
Another way is just to press some buttons and boost this post as well as my post on my tiktok which you can also find linked In the pinned post on my page
Thank you for your time

Sometimes you wake up and got energy af and do all the stuff you don't had the energy for. And then pay for it for three days with being totally exhausted. Try pacing! or... like my doc said "you have to learn pacing" It's not easy to do cause the crash often comes later but I try it all the time.

When you finally conjure up the executive function and mental and emotional state to do something and chronic pain and fatigue hits you like a fucking train.

So I had two days of a fatique crash. Totally exhausted, sleeping all day... But in that time this community helped me a lot. I saw I'm not alone. And I just wanted to say thank you all for being with me. And... I want to shout out to everybody "You are not alone too". This community helps me a lot to learn and understand about CFS, ADHD, Post Covid and Authism. Another great thank you to @my-autism-adhd-blog you help me understand even more things I knew was "wrong with me" but never really thought about it cause it just was a part of me and I learned to live with it somehow. You helped me far more you maybe think.
