Those with a Disability

I don't have a physical disability but I am a type 1 diabetic( which is the childhood genetic kind not type 2) and I have to take insulin injections to save my life everyday with food or I would slowly die.(without insulin injections it is considered a terminal illness) Because of my type 1 diabetes I have sever anxiety because I'm scared of having to high or low blood sugar(which makes me feel very sick and can cause coma and even death in extremely high or low cases) and it's really hard for me to function in society. Having a job is almost impossible for me because on top of my anxiety and constant fear I also have Borderline Personality Disorder and Sever Depression. Between my high and low blood sugar, feeling ill a lot of the time, having panic attacks often, and having extreme mood swings I last maybe a week or two at a job before they either fire me or I quit out of anxiety. I too feel like I can't do what the average person can do and it frustrates me and makes me feel guilty.

 

All I can do for myself is work hard on my mental and physical health. I try and eat healthy and exercise but balancing my Blood Sugars seems impossible at times and all I want is a break from it or to feel "Normal" but I know this is impossible.

 

Anyways I'm here for you if you want to talk because I may not have a disability but I can understand the struggles of something lifelong and relentless. <3

I think there’s thread for this

 

I’m sad but glad I’m not alone, cuase there are many people in this community with disabilities.

 

My own disabilities are numerous and stem from a mixture of things.

 

Physical disabilities!

 

My feet are bad, so I can’t work for more than 4 hours. This leaves out all job options for me becuase my mom took my sisters and I and isolated us from the world so we wouldn’t be “corrupted” (Yay internet for its influence)

 

I can’t do most facial expressions becuase the facial muscles didn’t develop properly. I can’t move my eyebrows, move my nose, or smile. I can frown and if I’m super super happy I have an involuntary half smile.

 

My tongue is too large for my mouth. Coupled with my facial muscles this means I can’t eat properly. I have to eat with my mouth open. My throat will also freeze sometimes, like it forgets to work? So I choke on air, water, food... etc

 

Emotional/Mental disabilities!

 

Due to my childhood/teens I have no idea how to interact with people. I used to have severe anxiety and this gave me agoraphobia, but this forum helped me so much I can leave the house now ^^ Becuase of this forum I can socialize better and maybe one day I’ll be able to interact good without having to text :3

 

My depression still cripples me sometimes. Some days all I can do is breathe and even that is difficult.

 

I have a deep rage in me. I’m learning to cope. Sadly I didn’t learn how to cope with this earlier and I’ve done things I regret.

 

I have mild dyslexia with numbers. They flip around, change places, and this makes math hard But I can read perfectly fine ^^

 

Sometimes I worry I don’t know how to love. But I think that’s anxiety and not a disability on its own?

 

I also have... well I don’t want to call it multiple personalities, but I don’t know what else to call it :/

Thank you! I didn't think to search it.

I have actually responded to one of the links Sachita provided. But I wanted to copy and paste it here - I do feel your pain. My conditions aren't nearly as severe as fighting for my life, but Daddy does on a daily basis [Also: Daddy is okay with me explaining these things, I wouldn't do it otherwise]. It can be frustrating when your physical reality stops you from being what you want to do in the moment.

 

I have endometriosis (which can cause months long periods, 9months being my record), degenerative disc disease (chronic back pain with no cure until Im like 70 - it requires surgery but if I do it now, I will drastically decrease my range of mobility), joint issues (hips, knees, etc), degenerative eye muscles (I will probably lose my sight by the time Im 40) and I have occipital neuralgia (damaged nerve in my neck that literally radiates constant pain and muscle spasms that  causes migraines and limited range of the neck). 

 

To say I feel like I'm a burden is an understatement. But my Daddy helps me with his understanding, comfort and the ability to alleviate some of my chronic pains. If you are with an understanding Daddy, he wont see these as a flaws or burdens. He will see these as the hundreds of aspects that have made you, you. And he will love you the more for it. 

 

The same can be reversed - My Daddy is in a wheelchair and has a pretty serious condition himself that requires constant vigilance. I love helping him out so much so that it doesn't feel like I am helping him out. Its more like "Oh, Daddy dropped the remote, let me get that." I don't see it like "Ugh I have to help him because he shouldn't be tilting his wheelchair".  So as someone on the "helping" side of things - don't even worry about it. 

 

Daddy actually said it was one of the first moments he realized I truly loved him and that he truly loved me. Was because I just kinda did these things for him that he would typically have to ask for help. And it was second nature for me, so much so that he didn't ever instruct me on it. It just kind of fell into place. And even when it got difficult, I still don't see Daddy's issues as a burden, I see it as ways to help him because I love him so much and that's what he DESERVES. And he has told me its the same.

 

I know it is really hard to get the "I am such a pest" thought out of your head (I call it the mean little voice in my head). But over time you will see that these things aren't an issue for your Daddy, or for anyone who really loves you, and will be able to relax in regards to any physical "imperfections" you may have.

 

I wish you all the luck and hope you and your Daddy have a very happy time together!

::Raises hand:: Ooooo! I has one! 

​Sorry, Little me gets a bit excited knowing he's not alone and wanted to contribute. I have a rare and deadly form on an autoimmune illness. Without treatment I would be dying. There still is a lot of risk involved. My immune system is attacking roughly 60 percent of my body, including every joint in my body. That includes the discs in my spine (causing them to collapse and grind against each other). Needless to say, I'm pretty heavily disabled and live almost every day in immense pain. I have good days, where I feel almost normal. Bad days leave me stuck in bed. 

 

The joint problems alone limit my ability to play with and without a partner. I can't go outside a lot on moderate/bad days, the joint problems can limit activities such as coloring if my hands are hurting, etc. Some partners have been more accepting than others (and I've been with a few who thought they could handle being with someone in my condition and then realized they couldn't). In some ways the disability helps me feel Little, as there are a lot of things I need help with on moderate/bad days. My Little side comes from a fractured identity, so it's a bit easier for me to jump in and out of it when I'm feeling sick (both a blessing and a curse). While there are some elements of play that are limited by my disability there are some that aren't. For me, it's a process of just learning what I can do on a certain day and going with that. 

 

​I understand wanting a normal life. There are times where I'd almost give anything for it. But, I remember that I've learned a lot through being disabled and I've met a lot of awesome and kind people that I wouldn't have met otherwise. So while being disabled is a terrible thing to go through, I wouldn't change it. Learning to find contentment is the hardest part of the process. The easiest way I know to help down that path, though, is to remind you that you wouldn't be the same person you are without your experiences. Think of the good things, the happy moments in your life now where you see beauty the world, and remember you wouldn't have that without your struggles. As a professional storyteller, I remind people that great struggles forge great people.

Multiple disabilities here being physical (Cerebral Palsy), plus an array of learning/developmental disabilities (brain damage, audio processing disorder, dyslexia (all three D's), severally impaired short term memory) requiring supervision and attention that is best met through Caregivers actively looking after me and where possible helping me to do a bit more for myself.

[LilDemonBaby]

im just happy to know that im not the only one who has a disability here. mine are mostly neurological, but my most severe ones are PACC (partial agenesis of the corpus collosum) which effects EVERYTHING from my balance, ability to tell time (thank the univers for clocks), math, my muscle tone, speech, hearing, vision, sleep, social skills, i have ADHD AND AUTISM,etc.  i am intelligent and have a B average in college, but my disabilities can really make things SO much harder and i was often told i wouldnt succeed in life and that i was stupid (jokes on them). whats worse is that i didnt get an official diagnosis until i was 16(PACC forms in utero)! it was and is STILL a hard road, but im not giving up anytime soon. im unstoppable, and so are all of you!

[JazzyJazz22]

I'm disabled too! I have mild CP but you do you honey I'm sure you are awesome!

[Winter Lillee]

You deserve all the good things and I think it’s awesome you’re going for what you want. Xx
