friendly reminder you dont need a diagnosis to be in disability spaces, as an example im in constant pain and fatigue, have migraines every week and my joints hurts to a point I can’t write, but since familiar gaslighting/medical trauma and the fact that im an indigenous, brown skin fat man a diagnosis is fucking hard (but im in my way! :)) , but i still deserve a safe space to talk about my experiences and to feel valuable and supported.

never feel like youre interrupting someone’s space or that you shouldn’t be here cause you dont have a diagnosis, disabilities existed before diagnosis

It takes the average person 5-8 years to get a diagnosis for a chronic condition. And that’s not counting misdiagnoses or comorbidities.

Keep advocating for yourself. You know when there’s something not right in your own body. Keep pushing for answers. 💙🥄
