Hi disabled community! I’m so sorry the megathread is late this week. I hope everyone’s new year is going well so far!
As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
what do people do all day… im so bored all the time…
Kind of depends on how much energy I have. I do some behind the scenes organising (practical planning, financial stuff and connecting people) from my bed whenever there’s anything I can contribute with. This is mostly where I get my energy and joy from. If there’s no work for me I try to get out of bed to do creative things like making banners or signs or decorating my room. Most of my days are spent sleeping, doing chores and resting from doing chores. Very boring and a bit depressing.
