Modern culture fetishises weakness and encourages us to play the victim. I want to break that cycle.

This may be controversial. I apologize if this upsets ppl.
But I wanna ask the community about this: is it okay to use the idea of alters (from Disossiative Identity Disorder) to help with my panic attacks/trauma etc.
I don’t have DID. I don’t have a headspace.
However, I do have certain…masks? Or roles? In which when I am in their mindset, I am able to deal with the world around me.
I have a male mask I just call Red. If I cannot handle my situation, I pretend that the person hsndling the stress (which would normally be me) is a different person and then I can act as a comfort to them. Theres also another mask but yea.
I dont have the amnesia or the headspace or any of that, I simply feel like using this system helps me to not get overwhelmed and spiral, you know?
Im not claiming to have it.
I made this video to share one of the highlights of my birthday!

I went hiking today spontaneous, hence the lack of practical hiking shoes
I’ve been trying to force myself to make content, even though my body and everything inside is breaking down. I’ve been trying to make more text posts, but find myself just staring at the picture. I’ve even been staring at this post for about 10 minutes already.
I don’t know what to do anymore. life does not seem worth it anymore.
this is disability. this is chronic illness. it’s feeling like a burden no matter what you do or are told. it’s feeling like you’ll never have a good life. it’s the idea that’s engrained into out minds that disabled people will never be enough. I don’t feel that I will ever be a valuable member of society because I cannot work. I’m barely getting through my last year of highs school.
Nobody tells you what it’s like on the inside of disability. it’s hard.
I connected poetically in my mind how Taylor features zebras in the music video for (& that she liked my post about that mentions) HER song, Wildest Dreams,
Because the ribbon for Stiff Person Syndrome (aka SPS): my recently & suddenly disabling disorder, is zebra-printed. I never knew it was possible and that I or anyone could be that sick in MY Wildest Dreams…

Friends please tell me about low effort things you have for breakfast… I’m trying to find new options because I have a horrible time with it. I get super nauseous in the mornings, and a lot of things I’ve tried either make that worse or trigger my sensory issues.
Cereals (especially healthy ones like granola etc) and biscuits get stuck between my teeth and it feels horrible. I can’t seem to find anything to put on toast that I don’t get sick of real quick. I’m getting a thing to try to microwave-poach eggs but we’ll see.
I just struggle so much and often end up only having a coffee, then mid morning I’m ready to faint
Hi, all!
I am a senior in high school and as many of you know, I am on the Autism Spectrum. This year, I am dedicating my senior project (A graduation requirement involving research, presentation, and a movement for change) to the experience of being on the spectrum, and how we can make the world a more loving place.
The main question of my project is what is normal, and how can we redefine normal? At the end of the year, I will be giving a presentation/speech in front of my school to help answer these questions.
So far I’ve written a research paper with the help of the physiologist who helped me get diagnosed, and we’re working together to make this project as amazing as it can be. I’ve also interviewed the amazing special education teachers at my school, asking them about their everyday tasks and what students/teachers can do for those who have disabilities or are different in any way.
The next step in my project is interviewing other people on the spectrum, which is where I need your help! While I will be able to chat with some of my peers, it would be VERY insightful to be able to chat with some of you! Being able to talk to people with a different experience, different stories, and an age range would be absolutely wonderful.
If you are interested in being asked a few questions about your experience being on the spectrum, don’t hesitate to contact me! You may shoot me a message or comment on this post, and I will be sure to message you!
Thank you all so much!
Got home after my appointment with pain management. I feel like shit. Really nauseated. My boss kept texting me and calling me throughout the appointment time and then wasn’t able to take my call when I called back.
After nap I’m going to look at legal protection and see about going on disability.
I would like to get my room a little more clean as well today but that is lower priority, unfortunately.
I don’t usually post photos specifically of people, especially not other Old Order Mennonites, but I’ll make an exception here. This is a woman I really admire. Mrs. Weber is 80 years old, and lives with Cerebral Palsey. Her life is certainly not an easy one, but her family and the community are extremely supportive of all her needs. Here, I’m reading a hymn, but she and I had just had a long chat while I cracked walnuts for her to pick out. She told me stories of her as a young girl, and I gathered much wisdom from her.
POV: I receive messages, emails, & notes 📝 from other people, asking me questions about ASL or Deafness etc. But so many people say “Ohh Are you “Dead”? Or they say “What’s it like to be “Death”?🤣😋😆
I just decided to make a funny video about it today because today is my Birthday! I’m very much alive… I just can’t hear!! 😂🤟🏼❤️🤟🏼❤️🥰🦻🏻🦻🏻🧏🏻♀️🧏🏻♀️
Hey it’s me, Suzy!
Description: I have long, dark hair & brown eyes. I’m wearing pink T-shirt from @bymaraily and my hat is also from: byMara.com -

Does anyone want to hear about my stupid disabled laundry hack?? It’s pretty great.
My scalp is so uncomfortable, and has been for weeks. It feels like there’s something between my scalp and my skull that’s irritating the underside of my ENTIRE HEAD. I hate it. I hate being in discomfort all the time. I hate this stupid illness.
