#chronic disability
You know you have pots when you can barely stay upright during the day but start to feel somewhat functional again after 10pm
If you’re disabled and people claim to be inconvenienced by you, it’s not your fault and you’re not the problem.
I’m desperate.
PLEASE fill out my survey if you’re 18-29 years old: https://hofstra.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_brUSTiewxEWVyTk?Source=Tumblr
ANYONE IN THIS AGE RANGE CAN COMPLETE IT, DISABLED OR NOT.
It’s for my dissertation.
I wouldn’t be asking if it wasn’t important. I need 109 more responses.
US ONLY.
Thanks so much!
This world was made for healthy people.
It’s not always going to be accessible, it’s not going to always have what you need. But you know what you need.
You have to make the world accessible to you.
No one is going to do it for you because this isn’t a chronically ill world, it’s a healthy one. And the best advocates for your needs is you.
Go make this world your world, and advocate for you.

Photographic series exploring the possibility of photography of various places from one room, focusing on video games have allowed myself to continue producing photographs despite having a chronic disability.

The worst thing about finally coming to terms and acknowledging your limitations when you’re mentally or physically disabled, especially when it’s chronic, is when someone who means well, a family member, a best friend, etc. tries to convince you that you in fact do not have those limitations.
It tends to be coupled with “you can do everything you set your mind to!” but the thing is, it takes a lot of self forgiveness and self acceptance to admit yourself you have a limitation.It is not an easy to allow yourself limitations because it’s frowned upon when a disabled person does not do their best to hide their disability. When I say I cannot do something, trying to encourage me to do it anyway does not make me feel better. It instead makes me feel invalidated and fall back into the pattern of ‘maybe they’re right, and I’m just faking or being lazy’, which completely negates all the work put into the process of self love and self acceptance.
