Finally today, after almost 18 months, I am getting a plan from the NDIS! This is as exciting as finding a lost valium in an old dressing gown pocket! #disabilitylife

Little J, 13 years old: “Stop beating yourself up Momma. It’s okay you’re disabled, you just got to ask for more help when you need it, okay?” It was a good reminder to give myself the grace I give others, instead of beating myself up for the things I cannot do. #FamilyLife #DisabilityLife

Laying in bed counting the number of disabilities I have instead of sheep… 1,2,3…11, 12, 13…

Drives me up the f'ing wall. I'm disabled with no car & have had to take my small dog to the vets by taxi. Often have had to call up to 5 companies. Nightmare.

Drivers should not be refusing guide dogs 🤬

I'll get the paperwork done somehow, and will possibly not be forced to live on less than $11k next year, but it ain't gonna be much better than that

Depending on which autoimmune disease I rolled at character creation, this might be me too, in a few years!

Solidarity?

A peek inside our built-in media console 👀. But when it’s closed it’s solid, giving me another surface to steady myself if needed. #disabilitylife

Let’s retire the word “lazy.” You’re not lazy for needing breaks, rest, or creative adjustments. You’re building a workflow that works for you, and that’s powerful.

Medical gaslighting is real.

People with chronic illnesses know this better than anyone.

It cost me days of crippling pain and indignity, but it can easily cost us our lives.

I have a permanent spinal disability. It took me a long time for me to accept that truth. The pain is my constant as is my will. I cannot stop the pain happening but I can control my reaction to it. So I choose to fight with everything I’ve got. #DisabilityLife

Still plugging away at this - and while I wish I could finish it tonight, I am exhausted even after sleeping much of the weekend.

Y’all know I’m tired when I stop mid-block! 😑

A shelf of books.

That’s what it takes.

I’ll be sleeping again after a half hour chat with my nibling too, as that’s always exhausting as well.

That #DisabilityLife when “overdoing it” means going into two stores, doing your short exercises, & sitting upright on a futon all day. Ow.
Anyway. Cancelled the stuff I was planning to do tomorrow to recuperate. Grumpy about it. #POTS #ChronicPain

Just discovered one of my college classes is on the 4th floor with no elevator.
What a nice day to be a cane user

Getting SSDI approval is a big step, but benefits may not cover all expenses, and you’ll face Continuing Disability Reviews.

TL;DR: My CNS tumor meds kept me stable, but my insurance lapsed, so I can’t get my injection this month. Symptoms are returning, and recovery is rough. Just sharing for transparency.

I applied for and got an interview for a part time role that was perfect for me and my disability needs.

However, they didn't want me for the part-time role but thought the full-time one would have been a better fit.

So I didn't get either. #ChronicIllness #DisabilityLife
