I know the world is collapsing and a lot of people are suffering. I do what I can to help those in my life, anyone who still bothers to talk to me or reach out, I just want the same. I try to help strangers too. I don't know. It feels wrong to want help too but I can't help that I do.

Make your events inclusive and accessible.

Reject ableist and eugenicist talking points.

I know there's a lot going on and everything is collapsing. I just don't know how to deal with the fact that so is my body and my life and my mental health and I have absolutely nobody to talk to that cares or feels safe.

Everything going on in this country is freaking me out and so scary and depressing too. How can we cope with things that can't be coped with?

It's especially difficult when I make my boundaries with this clear and people invite me to open up about it and then immediately shut me down and make me feel like I'm not safe to talk about my disabilities, that they need to fix me or push me away if I take them up on it and try to share.

Maybe this sounds shitty but don't talk to a disabled person if you can't handle it. I'd rather not hear from somebody than have to keep being subjected to unsolicited advice and toxic positivity. Plus have to give feedback or let people slide for being insensitive and uncomfortable with MY reality.
