disabled

We're having Mediterranean salmon with roasted butternut squash again. I used a different seasoning for the squash. I tasted a piece after it steamed in the microwave. It's yummy.

We got some groceries from Instacart today. I got some good stuff.

My back pain is at 7 when I sit but it spikes up to 9 when I stand up. I think I'm due for more Norco. *5 minutes go by* pauley gave me a half of a Norco. Dinner will be ready in 9 minutes. Fuck.

I was gonna shower tonight but if my back doesn't stop screaming at me I won't be able to handle standing. I seriously fucking HATE being disabled.

Figured I would introduce myself here.

My name is Shanell and I am a 34 year old #spoonie 🥄

I am married and have 3 kids, ages 16,13 and 9.

I suffer from #Endometriosis #interstitialcystitis #migraines #degenerativedisc #Fibromyalgia along with some still being diagnosed.

I am #Disabled and find it extremely hard to leave my house, especially with me just starting to use a #mobilityaid more frequently.

I ❤️ #reading #gardening #birdwatching and playing #videogames even thought I have found it hard to do so.

In some of my support groups on Facebook other spoonies said they have met online friends here, and I should give it a try, so why not!

The most heartbreaking thing about being diagnosed #Autistic late for me is how many benefits and possible support systems I might have missed out on when I was younger. And being ostracized for struggles and mannerisms out of my control. #LateDiagnosis #Disabled #Disability

I can't work for abusive people anymore. Nearly every job I've had is toxic to traumatizing. I'm trying to sell my art directly, but overwhelmed with the business side and shutting down with high PTSD symptoms. I am applying for disability again, but it's not solving food and shelter now. I need help!I can't make rent again. I'm alone and drowning facing eviction every month.

My name is Serieve (imsmandrews). I just signed up to The Mighty today (03/23/2023). My "About Me" section is filled out, if anyone is interested. An adult, I live in Ontario, Canada. My main Chronic Illnesses | Disabilities are a Brain Injury, Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy, MECFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), and various Neurological symptoms. MECFS has very much derailed my life; I'm mainly housebound, am often in bed (not by choice), and I cannot work mainstream currently (eg. 8-4, 9-5).

I dislike most willful ignorance and stupidity (Ableism comes to mind).

Does anyone know if there is a place on here to ask questions about site preferences How-To's and related?

What are some things newcomer members like myself should know about The Mighty?

After checking out Groups and Topics, where should I go from here?
