hello abled person writing a character with a disability. i see you are considering "curing" their disability in your story. before you make that choice, consider: why do you want to do that. what compels you to make that story choice. why would it be necessary. what is the narrative significance of doing that. what message do you believe you may be sending by doing that.

answer correctly or i'm opening the trap door beneath your feet and you're going into the spike pit

#clamtalk #obligatory i do not speak for all disabled people tag #but i've been seeing a strange amount of. ''what if we just get rid of [character]'s disability'' and ... hmm. So. Why.#Run by me why you want to do that. What does it add. Why do you think it would be ''better.''#like there are ways to convince me you're doing it for totally innocent reasons that do not include the word ''fixing''#i don't know. rubs me the wrong way when I see it #like full honesty in real life if someone was like ''Hey I can make it so your legs function properly all the time without pain #and your joints don't try to assassinate you ever again.'' Like fuck yeah I'd take that. cure my POTS while you're at it #but seeing it in writing/media... just. Hmm. Well I don't feel great seeing it #because what are You saying. By putting that in writing. What are you Implying there. And to what extent was it intentional.#anyway that's my two cents for the day

Do I have to be a person? Can’t I just sit down and listen to sleep token all day??

#very much so #sleep token #for blacklist #anyway….. I am gonna sit down and do nothing today #I’ve been walking constantly for the past three days it feels like #and I have chronic pain so this isn’t gonna end well for me #gonna have to…. sleep a lot for the next couple days #it hurts in a straight line from my second toe and my fourth toe on my left foot up to my knee on both sides of the bones in my leg not good #oof. the bottom of my feet feels like they are on fire still #my heels are so sore #I don’t want to go to the mall ever again except to go to build a bear and no where else tbh #maybe barns and noble but eh. I like the one at town center plaza better

my cat just went on a feral play aggression kick and scratched the shit out of me. i put him in time out for ten minutes and now he's lying on my legs grooming himself. the duality of man

#this fucking cat. he doesn't do this very often but when he does he's genuinely scary #and nothing i do will calm him down #no soft voice. no yelping in pain like a kitten. no hissing. nothing #i have to scoop him up and hold him at an arms length and put him in my room and shut the door before he can attack me again #i mean he ATTACKS me there's no other word for it #it feels personal. and murderous #i've wondered before if this cat wants to kill me. but now he's lying on my legs perfectly content to co-opt my body heat #i love him so much but right now i'#right now i'm so mad at him and just at my wits end. i thought we were done with this #and we've been playing with him! his litter box is clean and there's food in his bowl!#so what the fuck dr seuss #why #dr seuss the cat

Omfg I never actually posted about this but just like 2 days ago I realized that no it is Not normal to experience lightheadedness near daily when I've gone just a little too long without eating

I looked it up and apparently lightheadedness/dizziness CAN be a part of fibromyalgia (which I think I have for a number of different reasons), so like. It all makes sense.

Fuckin fibromyalgia. It's the source of like 95% of my physical problems, I swear. Every Damn Thing can be traced back to it. What a pain.

#speculation nation #'what a pain' haha get it bc chronic pain #frankly speaking the chronic pain part of it isn't the Worst. it's only a few times a month that i get my arm and leg aches #(though sometimes ill have bouts that last longer. like in january i think when i had arm aches for over a Week)#then again my rib cartilage inflammation is a permanent thing. my ribs Always are fucked up.#and i dont know 100% that it's bc of fibro but this condition has been linked to fibro and it didnt go away with anti-inflammatories So #in the end the pain isnt my biggest concern for treating my fibro. aside from the frequent headaches. i Would like to counter those.#what i really need is help with my chronic fatigue and weakness spells #i hate how fragile i feel so much of the time. bc im NOT weak. for my size im actually surprisingly strong.#but im quick to tire and if i push myself too hard then im practically bedridden #i will literally get symptoms of sickness if im too fatigued. including nausea and coughing and headaches #all fixed after ive gotten some rest. so im not Actually sick.#im tired and fed up with how finicky my body is and how i have to eat on time always or i'll be threatened with passing out.#havent passed out Yet but ive had some times where i end up Having to sit bc i get tunnel vision and my scalp is prickling #and it feels like my brain is squeezing and i know i Have to sit down Right Now #idk. there are many things like this. and i am sooooo tired of it.#i want a fibro diagnosis so i can actually get some help for the things that make life so hard to live.#im not depressed im just chronically fatigued. and so very tired.#give me some Energizing Meds or smth. help me please 😭😭😭 i hate living like this 😭😭😭😭😭#i wanna be able to do things without being bedridden for the rest of the day 😭😭😭😭 please 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

its so crazy having shoes that fit properly like what do you mean my toe and ankle pain have reduced by at least like 25%. has anyone else heard of this shit

#silly post but it is honestly crazy that ive been wearing improper shoes for like. Forever.#like kids feet grow fast so i dont SUPER blame my parents having me wear shoes too big #but also i do blame them a little bc they never showed me how to properly measure my feet Once They Stopped Growing and i was already used -#to the feeling of too big or too small shoes #my timbs are maybe a quarter too long where i want them wider but They Fit. I Only Sometimes Get Unbearable Pain In My Toe Joints Now #same with my keens! again maybe a quarter size too big bc i have to wear half sizes anyway bc testosterone #and it doesnt remove all my leg/back/foot pain bc i still have significant amounts. BUT IT HELPS

My first dog, my childhood pet, Lupus passed yesterday. He was 16, or 112 in dog years. A very very old man, especially for a dalmatian! He was born to be a family pet, he’s been with us through all 6 of our childhoods and a total of 4 toddlers, plus his own 11 puppies for a few very stressful months. He wasn’t very smart, couldn’t walk on hard wood floor or he would slip like bambi, would drip slobber on the floor if you were making anything in the kitchen, once nearly gave us carbon monoxide poisoning in his quest to get the sunday dinner roast chicken left of the back of the hob (he and our other dog who passed did in fact pick that chicken clean and we had to get fish and chips on the way back from the hospital after blood tests), and ultimately, was the perfect dog.

I remember the way he would climb on the sofa, stepping on me several times before settling down and sitting with me every night I couldn’t sleep. He would always be so excited to greet me when I came back to visit after I moved out. He had happy tail for like two years straight. He never barked or growled or bit even when my sister played dot to dot on him with felt tips in the 5 minutes she spent unsupervised, or when my other sister practically hung off his neck in a somewhat violent hug before she was pried off. He was kind of a wimp and our other dog who passed a couple of years ago was definitely in charge, and once when we tried them in separate beds, she kicked him out into the small one and he just tried to fit with no argument (the middle picture in the top row). He was so sweet and so stupid and he was the perfect dog. I miss him so much already, I miss him and Skylo, our other dalmatian who passed, and honestly I’m a little mad that he decided to die right now bc I have exams and a million other things and its kind of inconvenient but he always was - sometimes, he would just stand in your way until you had to move him yourself bc he had no idea he was in your way.

#its alright hes not in any pain now #but i wish i had a little more time #maybe this sounds a little weird but when I moved out 5yrs ago i think i missed my dogs more than my family?#because I could call my family and talk to all of them and still hang out with them like that #but obviously its not like i could stroke my dogs through a phone screen #and we hung out so much especially once i was out of school and so isolated even from my family #for a while i was basically nocturnal so i would come down at night and spend all night with those two #sometimes one dog on each side with both their heads in my lap #so i would lay down in a sort of s shape and one would sit behind my legs and one against my chest #honestly there were so many nights i really dont think i would have survived if i hadnt been trapped on the sofa by two massive sleeping #dalmatians who refused to be woken up ever #i miss them #it feels so weird to think that i dont have any dogs at home now #we had him for 16years #skylo for 13 #moving out was what was best for me but i only get to go home a few times a year #and i didnt spend enough time with them #i regret that a lot. i wish id taken them out on longer walks and brought treats and snuck them onto the sofa again

happy eurovison!! do your stretches!!!

babe it's been days since i did my stretches at this point im too scared

#in my defence idk WHAT was going on with my sunday shift bc i only waitressed 7 hours and that's a pretty normal shift for me #like im aware compared to a normal person it would be very difficult to just out of nowhere expect them to be on their feet #walking back and forth the entire length of a restaurant regularly carrying heavy things all the while keeping up ABOVE AND BEYOND socially #for SEVEN ENTIRE HOURS with ZERO BREAK like masking that entire time on top of the 7 hour physical workout #like it's insane if u think about it for more than 2 seconds and im really trying to bc every time i falter i beat the shit out of myself #and like? NO? my job is actually very physically demanding and emotionally draining compared to most people's day-to-day activity #it's gonna have impacts sometimes!#so yeah long story short i finished my shift sunday and when i tell you my legs LOCKED UP in bed that night #like mainly my thighs but it was all in my hips and knees and it was so bad that i lay there until 2am before getting painkillers #bc i couldnt hack it #which is SAYING SOMETHING for me bc im normally both quite good with pain and also a hardass for taking painkillers #ive had that happen once before (again after waitressing lol) & never worried about it but my mum recently got diagnosed with arthritis #and ever since ive been like. Looking at my own joints any time they even HINT at playing up #like i am RENOWNED for inhereting all of my mum's medical shit from mental to physical like i KNOW i'll get it it's just a matter of when #and yeah that was sunday it's now tuesday and my thighs STILL feel bruised #and im like. embarassed about it bc it's not like i did anything spectacular? and idk why it's happening?#yeah idk hiiii rori did u like me ranting about my physical health in ur stretch reminder ask sorry do u still think im hot <3 #ask

now that my thighs have finally stopped aching, i’m able to go back to the gym again today, eee! (someone pls be proud)

#♡ jordy is thinking ♡#i went last thursday n semi d-worded #n then my mum n aunt took me again on sunday even though i was in a lot of pain #they absolutely tore me to shreds #it’s literally taken a whole week for me to recover #i swear a part of my soul has been missing since #my thighs hurt the most (i have tiny legs so i’ve never had good lower body strength)#i was literally limping the other day :///#rip my muscles bc i’m about to do it all over again

every now and then ill think "yeah im probably exaggerating theres no way my stomach pains get that bad" just to be hit with the both metaphorical and literal punch in the gut of realizing that my stomach pains do in fact get that bad.

#personal #i cant move my fucking legs because it hurts that much #and this shit happens regularly too #its been worse this year pressumably because i changed my meds #and you can tell my studies have fucking suffered because of it #gotta love being unable to even touch my notebooks for a week straight because my entire body hurts so much i cant think #and nothing fixes it. the closest to fixes i can get will only make the pain somewhat more bearable #which isnt a particularly high standard when the usual threshold is 'cant fucking think much less move'#the few meds that actually do something usually knock me out almost instantly #and by the time i wake up everything hurts again #and i barely have enough time or money to do shit about it bc the cheap healthcare is far from my apartment #yes im having a tummyache again and im so so SO tired of having to be brave about this

Every morning I wake up and immediately think, Next Year, I Am Going To Run Fifty Miles; I Gotta Get Ready

#I love being obsessed with something it makes me excited about life #it just took setting an insane goal to get me obsessed with running again #I am still running very little because of ITBS but it is gradually getting better #so I am gradually running more #and doing so much biking and strength training in the meantime #also I am back on gabapentin (yay)#(this time just 300mg in the evening for restless legs #instead of 1200mg a day for a debilitatingly painful nerve injury)#and it makes my dreams nicer #so I have been having lots of running dreams instead of dreams about #forgetting to care for my pets or being abandoned by my girlfriend or family
