It’s tiresome when abled people criticise disabled people for talking about their lives online. How privileged you must be, to be able to tell a disabled person to shut up. Many disabled people are isolated and alone, and online is the only place we can vent and talk to others going through the same. If it makes you uncomfortable, scroll past. But you don’t get to police what disabled people say.

"You're still chronically ill?" No. I forgot to pay my chronic illness bill this month so they cut me off.

Society puts so much pressure on chronically ill people to be inspirational and/or recover

Chronic illness is already such a hard thing to deal with. And then people make it even harder. They judge you, disbelieve you, and abandon you. Doctors minimize it and gaslight you. Insurance fights you on everything. Pharmacies make it so complicated for you to get your meds. It’s beyond exhausting.

“It’s so easy to feel alone…I know I am not…there are millions…fighting the same fight. Fighting to be heard, fighting to be understood, fighting to be believed… Lately, I have felt drawn to lighthouses… Beacons of light in the darkness.” buff.ly/4eqRbcf @OSufferer

It’s disgusting that people with no lived experience of disability think they have the right to “debate” our existence. It’s always over-privileged hacks, trying to earn clicks, looking at disabled people as £ signs. Are you done with this negative narrative against disabled people?
