Loved this post. The 4th part really describes it well. Happy Disability Pride Month, even though it's the end.

It's easier for me to feel pride with being Autistic and ADHD but harder when it comes to my chronic pain [that I know I have and need to talk to my doctor about] bc the chronic pain makes it even more difficult if not impossible/almost impossible to do certain things that I want to.

It's ok to have a hard time with your disabilities and feel pride. It's ok if you can't yet feel pride when it comes to your disabilities. Hope you all have good days!

titled: July is disability pride month. a picture of the disabled flag labelled "better than the old one" and a doodle of my sona labelled "me: disabled"

text reads; I struggle though, to find pride in myself, in my disability.
I am disabled because I'm ill, I was probably born ill.
I spent my teenage years begging to be heard. slowly getting more and more sick as everyone around me achieved more and more
Everyone talking about future plans, where they want to be in 10 years. while I was just hoping I would still be able to walk in 10 years.

it's hard to feel proud of something that has caused me to grieve time and time again since I was only a kid.

Every dream I had abandoned or put on hold as I could do less an less

am I meant to feel joy at everything I've lost?
Am I meant to feel proud of suffering?

Everything I achieve, I achieve despite my deteriorating health.
But I don't say that to be inspiring.
(in large red text) I say that in pain.
(in the normal dark text) Because I wish I could do more, everything I do has to be a fight against my body, a fight against the endless exhaustion.

Struggling everyday has not made me strong,
it's made me tired

Chronic illness and disability can be complicated, and for some will always be a source of pain, often times quite literally.

With many unwilling to help or understand, watching people live and leave you behind

It's isolating

Especially so if your disability is like mine, if it stems from chronic illness, if it's dynamic

It's scary navigating each new flare up and hoping it's not permanent, it's difficult to makes plans when your health fluctuates so much day to day.

I can go from seeming healthy and able bodied one day, with only moderate pain or tiredness.
To being unable to sleep properly, to being in too much pain to eat properly, to being too tired to speak properly - the remnants of my stutter apperent.

As the good days grow few I just have to hope I can do what I love for as long as possible.

But I think it's okay, if you're similar to me and you can't find pride in your disability.
we may never find pride in it, we are still worthy of love, of being listened to.
Even if our circumstances leave us bitter or angry.
and I hope for all of us,
that will still find pride and joy, even if not in our health

I hope we find it elsewhere

Happy disability pride month, to everyone like me,
struggling

Happy July, happy disability pride month
