I think we need to stop associating things that disabilities affect to symptoms of aging.
We associate memory loss with old age. We associate achy joints with old age. We associate tremors with old age. Weakness. Fatigue. Mobility. Dependency.
How are people who are maybe even in their teens supposed to feel when we do that? Is this why I've always felt like turning 40 will be the same as turning 80 for an average person and I'll be near the end of my life span???? Is that??? Is that why???
Never being able to explain to people that I don't think this because I think 40 is old or I have such a bleak look on life and society and the state of the world. Is this the reason??? Because ever since I was about 16 I have been experiencing symptoms that people always say come with old age????
#{and i'm talking to myself}#i think in a similar vein it is easier to say youth instead of disability or able-bodied?#'i envy the youth of people older than me' sounds my like a joke#'i envy able-bodied people. i just can't run around and exert so much energy' gets taken as self-pity or excuses#AND I SAY THAT ABOUT YOUTH A LOT#'youth' when i mean sensory issues and bad feet and getting pain so bad i can't sleep and brain fog and FUCKING SLEEP DEPRIVATION#okay welp now i've got something to talk about in therapy tomorrow! 🙃🥲#at least i'm comfortable enough to say i have dyslexia to people when i read stuff back to them wrong or have to say it carefully and slowly#and they aren't mad at me most times
