When I was 16, I was told I couldn’t have PCOS because my blood sugars were too low. Now this week, another physician said blood sugar shouldn’t have ruled out me having PCOS. I’m 38. #DisabledAndTired

If anyone needs me, I’ll be lying in the dark, clutching a heating pad and the last sliver of my patience.

Turn off to cry, gritty enough to keep going soft grit spoonie

🥄 Some days I sob into my heating pad. Other days I power through like a grumpy little warrior. Most days? Both.

Soft enough to cry. Gritty enough to keep going.

We're not lazy. We're just out here fighting a boss-level body on nightmare mode.

I know it sounds small compared to what so many marginalized people have carried for centuries. I’m not new to injustice. But this? I’m trying to put a name to what’s happening. Because I felt it today—in my bones.

I say this as a white disabled cis woman—if I feel this invisible, unwanted, unsafe… I can’t imagine how others feel. Today was the 1st time I thought, maybe I don’t want to go outside. That scares the hell out of me. 💔😔 #DisabledAndTired #WeExist #RawTruth #BigBeautifulBill #NoMoreSilence
