i think tumblr isn’t ready for this take yet but, while solidarity between the mentally ill/neurodivergent and physically disabled communities is important, we face very different kinds of ableism and you really need to stop hijacking posts about issues or positivity related to disability and making it about mental health

like it seems to be a trend especially in online spaces like tumblr/twitter and it’s tiring - someone can make a post about, say, being in constant physical pain and someone will try to make it about depression as if the two are remotely comparable. it just feels bad man. let us talk about our issues or spread uplifting messages about the struggles we face without making it about yourselves

[image transcription: a light blue banner that reads “if you are able-bodied don’t fucking comment on this post”.]

In light of every clown in my replies everyone pls read this post. Op I love you thank you for being brave enough to say it

Plus many disabilities and chronic illnesses trigger mental illnesses, so when physically disabled people ask abled-bodied mentally ill people to stop derailing, they/we aren’t saying your disability matters less, we’re saying we need a goddamn space to be allowed to talk about our specific issues that an abled-bodied person wouldn’t fully understand.
