I hate these disabilities...my parents don't believe that they make me hurt so much and make doing simple things so hard. They hate that I use a cane and body braces but it's hard to go without them. I wish I had forearm crutches so much but they tell me I don't need them and I'm overreacting. I have to walk so much at school so I come home extremely drained and in a lot of pain. My joints feel like I'm gonna fall apart like legos and my head feels like a weight was put on top of it. I can barely keep my eyes open at the end of the day. I have to hide the fact I'm in so much pain because if I spoke up at all, I would be shunned and laughed at. I had a doctor who listened to me but I barely get to see her. She tested me for Rheumatoid Arthritis but nothing came up in my blood tests and so my mom just assumed I was fine. I tried to tell her that it wouldn't show up on blood tests. The day I get crutches and a wheelchair for long distances is the day I will finally be comfortable and happy. That day isn't going to come while I'm under the same roof as my parents.

Hello,

I’m sorry that your parents are not more understanding of your disabilities.

I hope you will be able to get your crutches and wheelchair soon<3

I’m not that educated on these disabilities,

But I thank you for educating me some.

Sending hugs<3 💛✨
