Do you think people who don’t experience chronic pain understand how boring it is to be in pain?
Like yeah, sure, I’ve been in pain for over twenty-four hours, but I’ve run out of movies and Youtube videos to watch, and I could read a book, but the amount of mental energy that takes is just something I don’t have right now. Like imagine not understanding that struggle.

Disabled people shouldn’t have to live in fear of using wheelchairs and mobility aids part time just because abled people don’t have the basic understanding to realise that disability can fluctuate from day to day.
I’m so scared of getting in/out of a wheelchair in public for fear of harassment or judgement, I wish I could get past it because I really need one right now. I hope anybody else out there who feels this way can start to accept their limitations and do what they need to feel a little better 💕
the shame disabled people feel when using a mobility device is almost entirely created by abled people pass it on
it is why I can always spot an abled person writing a disabled character: actual disabled people value our mobility devices and the freedom they give us
