Make disabled friends.

You're absolutely right. Because all the able bodied people in my IRL tell me to push through my chronic illnesses. And I recall all the disabled and chronically ill friends & experts I've met online that say no that's not right. I need to rest or seek medical attention.

I been trying to but fuck, we be put up and hard to find 😂😂

Most importantly, how can I be your next disabled friend

She’s right. When you have cancer, some hospitals have cancer friends this is important for sharing medical information and things that help side effects. This is so for all disabilities and I wish there were programs for it for disabled people.

Really powerful lesson 💙

Regarding the swallowing: Yes, thyroid difficulties cause this too— Frightening Been trying spicy to try and swallow— it sometimes helps me choke down another fork Curry Chili You can literally starve in silence

The ableds don’t be believing me when I tell them I can’t do certain things with them and it makes for a horrible time.

i saw this group on the west coast i am hoping I can find anything like this in NY

@xoJoyBelleox “Disabled adults are not supposed to exist” is one of the most heartbreaking perspectives I’ve ever heard. We have FAILED as humans.

Tell me about it!!!

Sigh, I agree!

preach💯

I need more disabled friends. My friend circle is pretty much empty & would love to have some like minded folks to talk about disability issues so if you’re disabled please follow me! 🙏 I always follow back!

This was eye opening. I love all of your posts, you come fact filled and give it straight no chaser👏🏽

It may be if your doctor didn’t provide this information your friend did, maybe it’s time for a second opinion

This makes me wonder if my brother's issues with swallowing were related to his CP and not mentally like he was told.

this is why WE have to hone, create and store our own knowledge which could be a wiki. or (online/in person) support groups. This was done in the 1970s by psychiatric survivors in the UK and Drs bought this document made by activists.(

So true I wish I had others to talk about it with. Can this post be the meet cute thread? Looking for more disabled friends on hrt & fibromyalgia
