May you find time this week to heal, to feel, to breathe, and to rest.

As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
Back when I thought I just had depression and anxiety I thought maybe someday I’d be “better”, or at least better enough that I’d be able to do more normal stuff.
Now that I know that those are just side effects and I’m dealing with BPD, cptsd, and autism there’s not really any hope anymore.
Not BPD/cpstd (well maybe on that last one) but yea same.
literally me if you swap out the BPD for DID. yea i have those feelings really often too, really frustrated that i can’t really even leave the house
for me what helped the most was radical acceptance that it’s actually okay to not be able to do normal stuff and just relax all day, but it took a very very long time to get there
Those are some heavy things to manage and work through, especially day-to-day. I hope you can still experience some of the things you want in the future, even if they come about a bit differently than you’d imagined.
