    might edit this and go on a rant, might not

    edit: rant

    so after getting our recent POTS diagnosis they… gave us physical therapy? not sure how exercise is going to help any of the symptoms of pots, or our worsening pain and fatigue, but okay.

    we go and realize that this is just… something to condition and gaslight disabled people into thinking that yoga, exercising, and breathing exercises are gonna magically fix their chronic illness. they specifically encourage you to not take breaks and maintain doing all this stuff every single day to and specifically encouraging them to not take breaks and to maintain the same constant activity level to “recondition your autonomic nervous system”, which is definitely how that works. not taking breaks never hurt anybody ever, nope. oh yeah and if you start having symptoms make sure to do these breathing exercises thatll totally do something.

    this just seems like a ploy to make disabled people blame themselves for not magically being better, because constantly exercising every single day will totally make me less disabled. “oh its not working? well thats your fault! try harder”. cant wait for them to start saying “theres nothing we can do and we are going to forcibly euthanize you”.

    forgot to add that i have another unknown chronic illness, and depending on what it is doing literally any of this could be completely terrible for me.

    oh and when our lung collapsed last year they literally told us to “walk it off” and that “it would heal on its own”. (it didnt, we had to have major surgery)
