for the last fucking time
if someone with panic disorder forbids weed smoke in the house
dont argue your way into having weed smoke in the house, dont try to insist that its ‘harmless’, dont propose that we expose ourselves to it to desensitize, dont think that our health is less important than your right to smoke
just fucking do it outside will that kill anyone
It’s time to make the INvisible VISIBLE by proudly and publicly talking about our experiences as invisibly disabled people.
Despite popular belief and community infrastructures, #InvisiblyDisabledPplExist. This ignorance and reduced community recognition and assistance can cause us lots of unnecessary difficulty, pain, and even death.
This means it’s time to start a movement to end the ignorance about what it “means” to be disabled.
Please use the hashtag #InvisiblyDisabledPplExist to not only make signs over disabled seating and other areas, as mentioned in tweet 4 above.
We must also talk about our many many stories of being invisibly disabled in a world where the public doesn’t recognize our existence (like mine).
Please Tweet & Boost!!!
The fact that neurotypicals need a book on “How to Love Someone With [Insert Mental Illness Here]” speaks volumes
parenting tip: talk to your kids about mental illness. tell them they might have a hard time. tell them they can ask for therapy and medication. tell them they aren’t alone. tell them if your family has a history of mental illnesses and which ones. just fucking talk to your kids and be there for them.
This would push through so many barriers
The diagnostic process literally goes one of two ways:
It takes like three minutes because your doctor trusts your ability to self diagnose, or it takes four years of constant deterioration because your doctor doesn’t trust anything but their (usually heavily sponsored and therefore edited, often shockingly inaccurate) books, or worse, their own personal opinions, to such an extent that by the time you get your diagnosis you have lost so much quality of life and been put in so much danger that it becomes completely impossible to put your faith in anyone anymore.
Like. That’s it. Those are your choices.
Given those options, why would I ever disagree with self diagnosis, really?
