#actually aspie
As a disabled person, I’m telling you right now:
Act disabled.
Stop telling yourself you’re acting more disabled than you are.
Crawl to clean your room, use a wheelchair when you’re “only” at level 3 pain, wear all the wraps and ice packs
Allow yourself to act disabled and you’ll see that it helps you a whole lot when you allow yourself to use any and all tools
Clean in a way that makes you feel the comfort of dirty.
When you live in constant mess, it can actually feel bad or stressful to live without mess. So try to clean in a way that makes you feel comfortable.
Examples:
- setting out lots of decoration that can be easily moved anywhere
- take off the door to your closet, or the cupboard doors so you can see the dishes
- have your clothes where you can see them
- don’t hide your trash can
- have piles or boxes to hold things rather than hiding them in the furthest corner from your mind and body
Feel free to add more
People who have symptoms but no official (or unofficial) diagnosis are just as welcomed into the Ouch Community as anyone else. I don’t care if you’re in the “tummy hurted for too long” or the “i have no arms or legs, my skin is made of paper, my bones are made of glass, and I have the most advanced Disease ever” category.
The community is “it hurt and is now my life”
Turns out the “it” in “it is what it is” is diagnosable.
Pov: you believe in both Modern Western Medicine and Herbal Medicinal Remedies can help, and you’re not sure why people can’t use what works best.
Its okay to get worse. Its okay to acknowledge when/if you need more help.
Going from a cane to a walker to a wheelchair is not downward progression to becoming useless or lazy.
Sometimes it takes even more strength to admit you’re doing worse, than to pretend you’re doing better.
The shit just hit the fan. I am jobless and I officially have pneumonia. Life currently sucks! Stay safe folks!
As the classes are starting next week on line I am trying to adjust. I am affraid of sensory overload, and being lost when too many ppl talk at once.
I think trauma comes back as memory too, but reactions are more visible to others.
