Your worth is not determined by your health.
Your worth is not determined by your job, marital status or economic output.
Everyone is deserving of shelter, food, healthcare and social supports.
No one should have to “earn them”.
When basic needs are met, society is better off.

My toxic trait: Hmm, let me see if this activity that normally makes me sick makes me sick TODAY
It has come to my attention that a funny hospital story I tell people at parties is actually called a TRAUMATIC EVENT™
"You're way too normal-looking to be chronically ill."
Thanks. I'll let my chronic illness know.
I didn’t choose the chronically ill life. The chronically ill life kidnapped me.
I’ve got 99 problems, and at least 90 of them are symptoms my doctor “isn’t worried about"
“Why does that person need a mobility scooter, I’ve seen people who are worse and they soldier on”
“Why did they use a wheelchair at the airport & then walk onto the plane?”
“Why do they have a disability placard they look fine!”
The answer to all is it’s none of your business.
I'm Not Ignoring You, I'm Too Sick To Talk: A Memoir
Wellll wellll wellll…. if it isn't the symptom I thought I got rid of 6 months ago
Me: *breathes*
My body: Ow. Don't do that!
Hi Misa, would it be okay if we shared your posts on our Instagram page? 🫂
I say HaHa a lot for someone HaHaHaving a never-ending flare
I'm sorry, your honor, but I'm on Prednisone, so any crimes I committed don't count.
What do you mean I need to write all 999 of my prescription meds in a space meant for 3?
I wish my joints would stop having opinions about the changing weather
THIS. Would it be okay if we shared some of your posts on our Instagram? :)
Reminders that unfortunately still need to be made:
Do not pat wheelchair user strangers on the head.
Do not touch disabled strangers. Period.
I CAN'T KEEP DOING THIS! (I can and I will, I just needed to be dramatic for a second.)
I think I speak for all of us collectively when I say: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If a disabled person is asking you for support… listen.
Don’t talk over them and make them explain why they need the support.
Don’t tell them they’re wrong and help exists when it doesn’t.
Don’t demand to know “why” they don’t have more help.
The help doesn’t exist. That’s why we’re asking you
does anyone have any chill pills left over i just ran out
Would it be okay if we shared this on our Instagram page? 🥹
It should be illegal to get a full night's sleep and still wake up fatigued. Like, body, I turned you off and back on again. Why are you still broken?
"You can't possibly have that many diagnoses. "
ME: Thanks. I'll let my diagnoses know.
DOCTOR: My patient needs this medication
INSURANCE COMPANY: LMAO, okay. Denied.
Hi there! Would it be okay with you if we shared this post of yours on our page? 🩵
ME, LEAVING THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE: I'm telling my therapist on all of you!
*slams door*
It's so stressful going out in public and having to pretend that I'm a normal person and not just a bunch of illnesses in a trenchcoat.
