196. Anger
I’d left this blog-post-under-comic section blank to begin with, but now I feel like saying more. As well as NOW, it needs to be REGULARLY and CONSISTENTLY and with an UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS WILL CONTINUE.

Yes indeed. Much rage with you. Hope comicking it helps, a little bit at least. It helps me that you did, if that makes any sense? Best of luck with getting support not platitudes from the places that are meant to help.
Thank you. π Yes, comicking it does help quite a lot! It helps me to put my feelings into words, and sometimes if I’m struggling to express things I can say, “look at this comic and then let’s try again…” And in lots of other ways too. This comic helps me so much! I’m sad that I’ve been lacking help so much that I can’t even comic very much any more.
I got my zine! squeee! have only briefly glanced at it so far because it will be there tommorrow, whereas NB meetup this evening will not, but it looks AWESOME π *is very nervous about meetup*
Oh wow yay! π That you have the zine, and also that you’re going to a NB meet-up. I am most jealous and wish I didn’t live in the middle of nowhere! I’m sure you will have an excellent time and make good friends. π Enjoy!
OMG CAN RELATE SO MUCH TO THIS. *Insert yoga stuff blablabla.*
Many of these things can help, but none of these things erases or magically cures disability and/or chronic illness and/or neurodiverse struggle. Too often these suggestions are made almost as a form of well-meaning victim blaming that helps able-bodied/neurotypical people distance themselves from the feelings and needs of their disabled, ill, and neurodiverse community members so that it doesn’t make them uncomfortable with its realness.
