Ableism is both necessary for and dependent on white supremacy, imperialism and colonialism, capitalism, queermisia and transmisia, and misogyny.

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.
Cool so my doctors are saying there’s just literally no other sleep medications that they’re willing to try and if I want anything besides essentially Benadryl or Benadryl with a slightly different name I’m going to have to Shell out to a different specialist The shit sucks I’m so sick of it. None of these doctors listen none of them remotely care it’s a cold world where no one wants to help and if they do their hands are completely bound Every night it feels like it takes a thousand years to pass because I wake up over and over and over again and have to restart the process and never actually get deep sleep or rest I just wait for the sun to be back up and for me to be unable to try and start the process again. im thank ful for the sleep i do get but it ist restful at all, just scrambles my brain up for a little then back to pain and confusion
Insomnia is awful, I’m so sorry you’re getting the run around from your doctors for help with the meds, sleep is such a difficult thing to pin down. I hope some good rest is in your future.
