In my dreams, you lay your sorrow on the table, and the air between us is soft and we have time.
As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
Thank you. The friends I’ve made here are literally my only comfort in life right now. I really think I’m going to actually apply to dignitas and see if they will help me. If they were being truthful when I spoke to them before about being willing to do it for free, then I maybe could get the money for travel costs. But then again I’m still struggling to get the cash to get a doctor’s note and do some printing for my benefit appeal. I have to continue with that for now in case dignitas doesn’t work out.
It might sound OTT but it feels like discrimination that I can’t access this service in the UK. People would be outraged if people weren’t allowed to do what they want with their own bodies when it comes to abortion, gender reassignment etc but I am not allowed to do what I want with my own body.
