What do you wish everyone knew about your disability?
@vivelespatates
I would like for people to know that when I say "I just can't go out today," or when I cancel plans, that I am way more disappointed and frustrated than they are. It's sad and maddening feeling weak and tired all the time, and having people think you're lazy and just don't want to do things with them. I HATE feeling and being percieved as weak.
I wish people would take my depression seriously and not say "just ignore it" or "don't be so negative just think positif" or " I think it'll pass by by itself" I want people to know depression is not a choice depression is a complex mental disorder because if it was a choice I would have chosen for a worth full life
That ppl would know that being schizofrenic is not having more personalities. I do not have split-personalities, I see and hear stuff.
@EvilRegalsReadToo my Relative went through acute pyschosis and seeing them in this state was scary. I can not imagine how it feels. I just pray there is more awareness about mental health. You are doing so well and you are far stronger than so many millions. ☺️ I have a lot of respect for my relative because they are fighting an internal battle every minute of the day. Wishing you all the best because you are stronger than you know.
I wish people new how hard having a prosthetic is. At first, I could barely walk. Went to a Oil Kings Game. Escalator?!!! Nope Nope Nope Nope
no matter how young, old, or well someone is or looks, that does not mean that they dont have any disabilities or "issues".
Depression is just as real an illness as diabetes or heart disease. It must be treated with due care, because one of the serious side effects is suicide.
That living with prosopagnoisa is exhausting. Every single conversation I have to figure out who you are by your clothes ; hairstyle , voice and actions. I don't recognise your face , so please understand I'm not being rude if I don't smile and wave to you on the street , I simply don't know it is you !
depression is not just about feeling deep sadness and loneliness.. one is also loosing hope, feeling body pains, loosing interest on the things you love to do and at worse loosing the will to live because it feels like it wont get better. this is a scary thought and even harder to fight without family support since i cant share this to them without them being angry at me for feeling this way. saying that i am exagerating.. and sometimes i just wish that im exagerating..
@Amaramonteriva
I feel the same way. Especially with body pains.
If we're not best friends, your jokes about my faults are not as innocent and funny as you think.
With a back problem I can barely put on and tie my shoes it hurts so much!
