I Had To Talk To My Spouse About Feeling Bad Abt Being Disabled But Not Getting Benefits For Me, And

I had to talk to my spouse about feeling bad abt being disabled but not getting benefits for me, and they hit me with: "You're still disabled, whether you get government benefits or not."

despite the chronic pains, chronic physical & mental illnesses, i still feel like a fake because I dont have any paper saying "YUP UR DISABLED. HERES MONEY"

it’s fibromyalgia awareness month so I just wanted to say a lil somethin’

SAY IT WITH ME: MEDICAL GASLIGHTING IS MALPRACTICE
