“Katniss,” I said aloud. It’s the plant I was named for. And I heard my father’s voice joking, “As long as you can find yourself, you’ll never starve.”

“People wouldn’t say that to someone in a wheelchair.”
Yes, they would. Having a visible disability doesn’t make someone immune to insensitive comments, gaslighting doctors, judgment, or ableism. No one’s disability or illness fully protects them from cruelty.
i truly do not understand this idea coming from able bodied people (and even some more moderately chronically ill ppl) that tons of ppl are “faking” being sick and disabled… there’s literally nothing to gain from that. no one is doing that. it makes no sense
More people need to talk about how almost ANY mental illness can give you memory loss. Bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, DID, schizophrenia, PTSD, etc.
