Ableds think they know our bodies better than us. I once went to the ER in 9/10 pain and was sent home without tests. Went back later and they found my appendix was bursting, as was a cyst the size of a softball on my ovary. Finally got diagnosed with PCOS 🙃

Another example of ableds thinking they know my body better: I broke my leg in 2008 and the ER doctor told me it couldn't be broken because I wasn't in pain. I'm a quadriplegic. I had to argue w her just to get x-rays. My leg was very much broken.

One time I was in the hospital with an infection and the nurse did a mental health screening. I was honest and said I have been suicidal in the past. She just looked at me and said she would want to kill herself too if she were me
I finally finished my first cross stitch project! It's small, but I'm proud of myself for figuring out how to do it despite my limited hand use. I'm glad I stuck to something new for once!
I have 9 assignments due by next Sunday night. Work will hopefully be getting busy this week so I'm going to try to power through all of it this weekend. We'll see what happens 🤷🏼♀️
✨PSA✨
Hi, I'm nervous about this but I'm going to use only they/them pronouns for a while to see how it feels! I'd greatly appreciate it if you could try making the adjustment. Thanks 🥰
Anyone have podcast recommendations? I've started listening to them to make work go by faster and they help me focus. I'm open to literally any type/genre 😊
I *hate* ads on social media but this Facebook ad caught my attention and brought tears to my eyes. I've never seen an ad with a visibly disabled person advertising products for people of all abilities. Representation matters, even if it's in annoying ads!
‘We should kill them all’ - US Congressman’s shocking comment on Gaza children
US Congressman Andy Ogles’s statement, ‘We should kill them all,’ in reaction to photos of children’s casualties in Gaza, has sparked widespread outrage.
A patient's right to privacy doesn't stop after they are no longer under your care. HIPAA even protects patients after they die. This is absolutely a violation.
Not being abused isn't the same thing as being happy. It's okay to leave a relationship just because you're not happy. Abuse isn't the only reason to leave.
My wheelchair cost nearly $100,000 (I'm v fortunate that I had insurance that allowed customizations) and it still falls apart all the time. There would be an immediate uproar if bikes were like this lol
When will wheelchair technology catch up to bike technology?
Why does my electric wheelchair weigh 500lbs and cost $30,000+? When will there be a wheelchair equivalent to the e-bike?
I'm constantly reminding my clients that they are having natural responses to unnatural circumstances for this exact reason. I can teach all the coping skills I know but that doesn't change the fact that the world is one giant dumpster fire with ongoing traumas.
i don't want to this to be a triggering post for anyone, but we cannot therapy, medicate, self-care ourselves out of fascism, colonialism, imperialism, white supremacy, etc. i can't physically and mentally handle the state of the world. i'm going to keep going but will complain.
Please consider donating to help
@AllhTa9425
! He needs assistance paying for expensive medical treatment. Donate if you can and share to bring awareness!
I finally finished cross stitching my gf's birthday present!! It's definitely not perfect, but it's not too bad for being a quadriplegic with limited hand use. I'm proud of it!
Today I got into it with someone over abortion and they were like "okay but do you even know what happens to the fetus during an abortion" and their face when I said "yes and I don't care" was PRICELESSS
Coming out of my mini hiatus for a sec to let yall know that I've been talking to this girl and tonight we're visiting each other's islands!! I'm so excited omfg
Another reminder to let me know if you have a crowdfund that needs shared! I've had lots of people message me tweets to rt, so I also want to say to feel free to remind me if I don't get back to you quickly. I won't be offended as I know I'm a forgetful person with messages 💜
I know I don't have tons of followers but I also don't have any money so I try to rt all the crowdfunds I see on the tl. If anyone sees one or if you have one of your own that I haven't shared pls let me know and I'd be more than happy to!!
I finally started the process of getting tested for ADHD today!! My therapist did a mini assessment and I scored high af so I'm going to see my psychiatrist next week about a full evaluation. Feeling v proud of myself!!
I told someone about my bipolar disorder the other day and they proceeded to tell me that they are also bipolar bc if someone pisses them off it puts them in a bad mood the rest of the day. This is why I never tell people I'm bipolar. They always have something ignorant to say.
Oh so it's a bunch of celebrities dressed up in fancy clothes as if thousands of people a day aren't dying here in the US alone, cool cool cool not at all in poor taste whatsoever /s
Everyone,
@AlieuSenghore73
needs help raising money to buy food for his family. They are facing famine in the Gambia. Please do whatever you can to help!
Fun fact: when I first joined actwt and saw pics of graveyards people had put on their island, I almost quit playing because I thought villagers could die and I couldn't handle the thought of losing my villagers 😭
Has anyone heard from
@beanbicycle
within the last few hours? I'm extremely worried for their safety and they arent replying to my messages. I'm going to be calling the police for a welfare check soon if nobody has been in contact lately.

Earlier my therapist told me I'm not a bad person, I'm just a person who is hurting and wasn't ever taught how to cope. I didn't realize how badly I needed to hear that.
I'm not a bad person. I'm just hurting.
I fucking hate anxiety bc it's peppermint mocha season but I can't drink coffee anymore because it triggers my anxiety too much now. Why can't I have nice things
@JoannaNoBanana
Trying to prove I'll be disabled forever so I could stay on my dad's insurance past 26. I literally had to have my doctor write a letter saying there's absolutely no way I will ever recover from a spinal cord injury
I have PCOS. I'm considering searching for a doctor who will let me have a hysterectomy so I don't have to rely on birth control to manage my horrific periods since I'll most likely be losing access to birth control at some point. This is absolutely wild.
I have PCOS. I develop cysts on my ovaries that can burst and cause extreme pain and make me bleed so much that I become anemic.
I need birth control and hormones to keep this in check.
This will effect more than just abortions.
YALL I just gave my very last major presentation for grad school. All I have left are small assignments and my clinical hours. I'm so close to being done with school forever!!
I hate that I have to tone myself and my identities down around most of my family. I'm a queer, leftist, atheist, and disabled non-cis person that "lives off the government". I represent everything they hate. I wish I had a family that could actually love me.
Bisan has reported that tanks are outside the last operating hospital in Gaza and the area around the hospital is being carpet bombed. You can hear how close the bombs are and it’s terrifying
I get so annoyed when people say there are people "scamming" the government to get SSI benefits. Sweetie, anyone who has to survive on ~$800/month is who's getting scammed, not the government. I promise you that.
I can't believe I'm saying this because I've always said I'm not a Reputation girlie, but my favorite song last night (besides Long Live ofc) was ...Ready For it? Like the energy in the stadium went OFF during that song. It was fucking electrifying
tw // suicide
When doctors offices and hospitals first started screening for depression, I was honest about my history of suicidal thoughts. The nurse looked at me and went, "Yeah, I would be suicidal if I were in your position too."
I've lied every single time since then.
@sweetinsanityx3
In a weird way reading these has made me feel less alone, but it's mind blowing that what I've done through is such a common experience among us apoonies
🇵🇸💔Anyway, donations r very slow
I still haven't reached the short-term goal ‼️💔
I won't say much this time—you all know what I'm going through, and you all know about my efforts to get my family out :)
Tbh I’m tired of everything
💔🥺🇵🇸
🫶🏻💁
To abuse them" and I'm just like...what? That doesn't make it okay. Someone else said to "hold space for the idea that abusers have their own stuff going on" and that's a thing I absolutely will NOT be doing. What the fuck?
tw // suicide
When I had my breakdown last year and was on the verge of suicide, I definitely learned who to pour my time, love, and energy into. The people I loved the most were nowhere to be seen, even when they knew I was suicidal. It was definitely a learning experience.
BESTIES today is my Friday, I get to come home from internship and nap with my kitties, I'm wearing a new sweater and it's v comfy and cute, my hair looks decent, I'm determined to make today a good day
