Up until about a year or so ago, I didn’t call myself “disabled”. There was a stigma attached to that word that made me uncomfortable, so I avoided it. I think the thing that bothered me most, is I didn’t feel like I was qualified for the term, if that makes any sense. When I … Continue reading I am Disabled

Attention Parents with Disabilities:
Foster Moms and Dads- Can we talk about something kinda heavy really quick? I really want to adopt eventually. Justin does, too. We can’t have children of our own because my health is too poor for me to become pregnant. I love kids, and I think Justin and I will be excellent parents. The thing … Continue reading Attention Parents with Disabilities:
It has been an awesome day, and that sucks.
This is a throwback to an older article I wrote, titled "The guilt of feeling well". I wrote that a long while back, yet the topic is still quite relevant to me. Today, I had a really great day, energy-wise. I did so much, and as I sit here writing this, I still feel vital … Continue reading It has been an awesome day, and that sucks.
“Group Therapy” Streams Coming Soon
I'm going to be hosting a weekly "group therapy" stream on my Twitch Channel. This will be a time for us to get together and be open about the things we are dealing with in regards to some usually taboo topics, such as addiction, mental illness, and disabilities (visible or otherwise). We're going to hang … Continue reading “Group Therapy” Streams Coming Soon

Spoonie flash game idea! (updated 1/11)

I'm going to lean how to use Adobe Animate to make it, and I have a basic concept for the game, but I would really love to get some feedback and suggestions from my fellow spoonies. The point of this game is to help people … Continue reading Spoonie flash game idea! (updated 1/11)
Crossing Your Bridge: The difference between defeatism and realism
A sign on a bridge says that it can hold two tons of weight. If the bridge builder tells you you can not drive a three ton vehicle across it, he is not being a defeatist, he is admitting that the bridge has limits and he is protecting it from being destroyed. I think that … Continue reading Crossing Your Bridge: The difference between defeatism and realism
The guilt of feeling well
The title of this article might seem absurd to most people, but those of us living with chronic illness won't even do a double-take. Generally, people have good health that is consistent day-to-day, save for the occasional cold or flu, so this isn't something most people even think to consider. It's hard for most people … Continue reading The guilt of feeling well
From part-time employee to full-time patient: Losing a job due to chronic illness
