I’ve been diagnosed with fibro for about six years now but have been dealing with the symptoms of it for more than a decade. I don’t know how many people seeing this will really care but even after getting a diagnosis I didn’t really feel like I was disabled—

1/10

... because my symptoms didn’t seem as bad as some other peoples and those around me couldn’t tell there was anything wrong so I just figured I was fine but I was clearly wrong.

2/10

Towards the end of sophomore year I started feeling worse and worse everyday and by October of my junior year of high school I couldn’t stand walking to my classes or even just trying to focus while I was in those classes—

3/10

... because I was in so much pain and I would come home crying but it wasn’t until I dropped out of school completely that I realized that wasn’t normal or okay at all.

4/10

... I didn’t know that I could’ve gotten accommodations at school or that I could’ve asked my doctors for mobility aids or anything like that. I didn’t know I was even allowed to use mobility aids because I could walk so clearly I was fine right?

I just really wish there were more people like @chronicallybren educated us about disabilities

6/10

She’s really been a light in my life recently, her and everyone in our “unhealthy ppl” groupchat, showing me that there are other teens going through the same (or similar) things as I am.

7/10

Anyways, my brain fog is really starting to get the best of me and I don’t know how to wrap things up but please if you can try to educate yourself on issues like disability, homophobia, racism.

8/10

Seeing other people stand up for minority groups can really help us feel less alone and unheard. Even just following other disabled creators and giving them a platform can be beneficial!
