@zeezee25: disabled grief is not often talked about, but is sadly common ❤️🩹 if you’re chronically ill or you have developed the disability in life, then you’ll probably relate to the feeling of losing your old self the feeling of constantly trying to improve and get back to the person you were before the feeling of disappointment and frustration because you can’t do the things you used to do & your attempts to keep up only push you further into a flareup ✨ but know that if you can relate to this then you are not alone. So many people feel like this and it isn’t something we should feel embarrassed about It is okay to be struggling and not be the same person you were before health issues ❤️ it’s okay to change and regress and grow and shape yourself as you learn who you are, and it’s okay if that person looks different to the one you used to imagine I struggle with change a lot because I’m autistic, so the past few years have definitely been a massive challenge & adjustment - but I can confidently say that I feel like I’m slowly finding my feet, I have no idea where my health will be in the future 🫂 #disabledcommunity #chronicillness #chronicpain #chronicillnessawareness #disabled
It's when you start making plans and suddenly it's like "Wait... I can't do that... I can't stand for that long."

THIS! My teen/childhood was spent surviving an abusive household. So once I got out and starting finally LIVING… I was hit with chronic illness. The life I survived for will never exist.

I think it’s so important to talk about the grief in being disabled…you’re not silly or weird for being upset with your disability or illness, no one is ever always positive

The fact that you’ve been able to adapt your life to your current circumstances shows a strength of character that’s rare at such a young age!

this is so real. I used to do gymnastics and now walking around the house gives me a 120 bpm heart rate and gives me seizures if I overdo it

I am gaining my mobility back and it's so amazing. I am still quite limited but I can go on small hikes and it's a huge win!! If it's something you really want, don't give up. Baby steps!!!

I think the fact that no one really understands unless it's happening or has happened to them either makes it feel even worse and so much more overwhelming

Thank you for this. I've not accepted my disability yet and it seems like most people don't understand why I'm griefing. I can't hear the words 'at least you're still alive' anymore.

The grief is so tough, but you are so strong! Not a lot of people talk about how you have to rewire your brain with chronic illness.
