I& #39;m disabled, but fairly privileged when it comes to class and caste. I have mental health issues which severely affect my ability to function on most days. And the thing I& #39;m most scared of? That I& #39;ll lose out on so many opportunities because of it.
I shouldn& #39;t have to be scared that my fibro flare up would mean that I can& #39;t work that day, and I& #39;ll end up looking "unprofessional". Thankfully I do have colleagues who are understanding and helpful BUT the whole "push it till you make it" narrative is bs.

Some days I can& #39;t even function. I can& #39;t get out of bed, moving my limbs take a lot of effort. Why should I be scared of "not doing enough" on such days? That& #39;s nonsense!
Capitalism has creeped in and infested our thinking upto a point that we expect

Someone who cannot think, cannot get out of bed, to still "do their best". Just so that they can feel accomplished.
And this is with all the help I have. Fuck everything.
Can& #39;t even collect my thoughts properly so I apologize if there are mistakes in this thread.
