ME

This would absolutely fix my mental illnesses

My gender is basically this cryptid/anomaly thing that normally looks like a gateway to the depths of space, but sometimes takes a human-like appearance of a girl and then wears pretty dresses and jewelry. Then it changes its mind and takes the form of any animal it wants, but then it gets tired of being perceived by human minds and changes back into its anomaly form.

Is there a term for that?

(kinda a vent? Idk I'm in pain and no one believes me so this kinda a rant, TLDR at the bottom)

Some of the worst things about being disabled with like arthritis at a young age, is when you tell your parents or just any old person in general and they don't believe that you're in pain. I'll tell my mom my back hurts so bad that it's spreading to my legs, and she'll just roll her eyes and say sorry in a condescending voice. Her and my stepdad think just cause I'm young that equals no pain. My mom was there when I got my diagnosis! She knows that I got my arthritis from my dad and how bad it was when he was my age! But noooooo since I'm not up and working for 40+ years I can't have back pain. I mean gods, I've even thought about buying a cane/wheelchair with my own fuckin money! But just cause I'm young means I can't have pain.

TLDR: If there's a young person in your life with a disability please believe them when they say they're in pain. Age does NOT equal no pain.

It's because I am one >:D

reblog if your blog is a werewolf safe zone

Made a combo flag!

Hey hey! Recently made these flags for Birlflux! (Girlflux plus Boyflux)

I didn't coin the term, but I did make these flags bc I didn't like any already out there!

Made a cool tone and a warm tone one!

The reason they're purple is because pink and blue (the primary colors of both flags) mixed make purple!

I too, am gay like that

(can't miss out on doing a chain with one of my fav bloggers :3 )

starting a picrew chain, cause i’m gay like that

It's no longer disability pride month, but awareness is always important. Especially since August is the hottest month in my state, please be kind to people with disabilities, especially if they're hidden. Because more than likely we're being guilt tripped by our friends and family and being put in extreme danger just because everyone else "isn't that hot."

Heat Intolerance

This disability pride month I'd like to talk about heat intolerance. Because honestly although it's not the first health issue that presented symptoms in my life. It was the first time I was like "I don't think my body works right".

And honestly given disability pride month is during one of the hottest months in the year. It seems fitting. Especially because there's a lot of disabilities and medications that cause it.

What is heat intolerance?

Simply speaking it's the inability for the body to regulate it's temperatures especially in hot settings to cool itself down.

Why is awareness important?

Because gaslighting people or worse not providing them a place to cool down just because you "feel fine" is extremely fucking dangerous.

What are the medicines that can cause heat intolerance?

Antihistamines (Allergy medications) . Decongestants (Sudafed or any medication that has the D at the end of it). Stimulants (ADHD medications. Steroids. Caffeine.) Beta-blockers (blood pressure medications). Overactive bladder treatment. Psychiatric medications (including but not limited to medications for depression and anxiety). Pain relievers. Antibiotics.

What medical conditions can cause heat intolerance?

EDS (Elhers-Danlos syndrome). Autism. ADHD. Migraines. Brain/spinal-cord injury. Sensory processing disorder. Chronic fatigue syndrome. Endocrin problems. POTS. Menopause. Hypothyroidism. Diabetes. Heart Disease. Multiple sclerosis. Mental health disorders.

What should I do if I suspect I have heat intolerance?

Reduce time outside during hot months. Keep your electrolytes up. Drink plenty of water. Stay out of the sun whenever possible if outside. Be aware of the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

Clothes that are best worn for heat intolerance. Loose lightweight breathable fabrics. Natural fibers. Long sleeves that protect from sunburn as sunburns will increase your risk. Light clothes that reflect light. Wide brimmed hats that shade the face and neck.

Cool. So what are those symptoms I'm supposed you be looking for?

Headaches. Excessive fatigue. Mood changes. Muscle cramping or weakness. Nausea/ vomiting. Rapid heartbeat. Excessive sweating or not sweating at all.

When should I do to the doctor?

If you suspect you have heat intolerance you can go to your PCP to discuss what medications you may be on and what you can do about it. Otherwise, please go to the emergency room if you have symptoms of heat stroke.

This is good information and all but why are you making this post?

To raise awareness. Not just for the people that have it but weren't aware of what it was called. But for all of the idiots that tried to gaslight me when I was in school because I was like "I don't think this is normal. Every time we do our mile run outside I vomit all over the place but other kids aren't doing that."

Also because people always blame me for over heating if I wear long sleeves or pants. I always like to take notes from what people in the middle east wear because they literally live in the excessive heat and spend long hours in the excessive heat. Often in clothing that covers most of their body. They've gotta know what they're doing, right?

I have some type of xenophobic comment about why people from the middle east cover up

Shut the fuck up 😊
