So as y’all know Ive started using crutches because of my chronic pain (and also my pots) but my mom is very dismissive of both my pain and all the other shit up with my body so I’m honestly kinda scared to go home for a couple weeks because I don’t know if I’ll feel comfortable enough to bring and actually use my mobility aids even if I just use my cane. I just really wish my parents took my pain and fatigue and etc seriously instead of just saying “you just need to workout more” or “you just need to eat better” when I know that neither of those nor the THOUSANDS of other things they suggest won’t take away the pain I’ve been in my entire life.

I just want my parents to actually care that I’m in constant pain and not make me feel guilty for using things that actually help

Also wtf is up with abled people and thinking that using mobility aids will make those of us who use them worse??? Like I’m pretty sure me being able to walk more because of my crutches is better than me barely being able to walk a couple blocks without them. (Technically I can walk further than that but it starts to get really painful at that point)

Fuck abled people and their opinions on disabled bodies

My mother literally said to me that she “believes that I am choosing to be disabled and that she believes that I am healthier than I feel” like ma’am you are not in the same body as me you do not know it better than I do. Do you not think that I wasn’t to be healthier? Do you not think I’d rather not be in pain? You really think I’m choosing this? After saying that bull shit she goes on to say that she only wants the best for me and for me to “get well soon” and arugh I stg she really feels like one of those people who are like “don’t say disabled say differently abled” like gah no there are things I simply cannot do anymore I don’t do them differently I just can’t do them
