We need a new term for “avoid it like the plague” because apparently people don’t do that

When the pandemic hit, virtual options for work and medical care sprang up overnight

The type of accommodations disabled people begged for were suddenly available

We watched in awe as the world adapted, and then in despair as it threw those adaptations away for “back to normal”

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

The thing about virality is you don’t always know when you’re gonna go viral. Your post could have typos, be worded poorly, or end up on the wrong peoples’ screens 🫠

@vintagegirl1963 I used to use a brand called Signature Minerals but they went out of business. Mineral Silk is just like them. Thank goodness someone on here recommended them

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

I got a ceramic paint palette to try putting my mineral makeups on when I do my makeup 😜

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

@EternityAwaitz Thank you! I wanted it to still look nice in the bathroom so this is the one I landed on 😜

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

The word “lazy” is often used to be cruel to chronically ill and disabled people

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

@vintagegirl1963 It’s not! They just love what authority they have I guess…

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

Walgreens is always moving the goal post on when I can have my controlled meds. Sometimes it’s 3 days early, sometimes 2, sometimes 1…🤷‍♀️

@vintagegirl1963 Makeup made from minerals. Those little containers are from Mineral Silk

I like living in an uncluttered environment, but I'm chronically ill and don't want to overdo it, so you can imagine the amount of internal screaming that's going on behind the scenes.

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

@Tmasseur13_cle Just believing me is a great start! Trying to understand and learn is a next good step if they have the capacity

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

Truly 🙏

[ChronicIllnessHumor @HumorChronic]

The most meaningful thing a friend or family member can do for you is take the time to learn about your illness.

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

A continuous game…

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

@Forester2026 They’re acting like if you go to doctors you will get broken bones. Doesn’t make any sense lol. Broken bones are from accidents…

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

Do you think doctors break bones? 🤔

[Divine Counsel @adevinecounsel]

Zero. Never broke a bone. Never been hospitalized. Medication free. Diagnosis free. Stop fucking around with western medicine.

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

🤨🤨

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

😂😂😂

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

@ShepherdsPieFan I cannotttt do a slow start lol

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

I hate when a movie or tv show doesn’t hook me immediately

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

@SaneRemain That make you think?

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

Why are people always willing to accept things like genetics, illnesses, and medications can make you thin but they’re not willing to accept that they can make you overweight?

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

@leventieva It’s not empathy. It’s fact
