Before I got sick I tried the gym, I managed to go three times- once I got in a fight with an old man about Brexit, once I got sexually harassed and once I got injured because the gym dude thought it would be funny to teach me to use the machine wrong

As a Christian it irritates me so much when others ask to pray for me, because they’re praying for my disabilities- a huge part of my identity- to disappear, when what I actually need is access to language, to support, to tech etc.

When I fell out the chair they got me to transfer into because I was in so much pain and then couldn’t do the exercises because I went hypo and had a pots episode the assessor noted ‘Elli refused to do the exercises despite not appearing to be in any pain’.

Except they won’t say it’s your disability- it’s ‘redundancy’ or ‘streamlining’ or pushing you to quit because they won’t do accommodations or do them so slowly you end up more disabled than when you started
@bibicosplays
They literally can’t fire you for your disability and must provide reasonable accommodations. What that generally means is you’re not good at your job

Today I am filled with imposter syndrome, but for my disabilities. I feel like I can't be in that much pain, I must be a wuss, and surely I'm not deaf because I can sort of hear people some of the time and so I must be overreacting. Anyone got any tips?

Every time I’m ill, I start at the lowest doc level and every time it gets escalated to A&E/ hospital bc I am so worried I’m imagining it I underplay symptoms to the point where I can end up hospitalised.
this pernicious myth that we’re out here exaggerating our symptoms for attention is LAUGHABLE* compared to the reality that we are out here convincing ourselves that we’re imagining major traumatic injuries.
*like very very angry villain laughter. this shit is my villain story.
