Hello everyone! Don’t have a lot to say, finally got around to making the new mega.


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.

      i wanna second loving gingerbrat’s hard work of constant positive support. i gots hyperempathy and just get so depressed seeing the suffering, especially the suffering imposed by this baby-grinder of a “healthcare” system.

      Rather than be beaten down, she puts in that effort, takes on that load. Even when she’s not talking to me, i’m still lifted up, and just… just enormously grateful for her fortitude, grace, and love.

        I wanna hug all of you (if you want to) all the time. cuddle

        I get the hyperempathy and the overload feeling when it comes to the medical torture system. What I’ve realized over the years is that we all have the strength to carry on, despite the odds. But sometimes, you feel alone, so utterly, hopelessly alone and abandoned by people, love, and reason, it’s crushing your soul and body. I remember being in these situations so many times as a teen, I was desperate for someone to tell me they understood, or at the very least, didn’t blame me for feeling bad. I just wanted someone to listen and actually hear what I was feeling. And while I did not have anyone like that, I realized that I could try to be that person for someone somewhere else. So I’m trying, even if it’s just a little bit.

      Oh you cuddle

      You almost made me cry, love. I appreciate your kindness in turn, and I hope your life is filled with blessings and as much joy as possible. I know the world isn’t looking too bright, but I want my comrades to be happy.
