Disabled Community Megathread from June 30, 2025 to July 13, 2025
If you carry one thing with you today, let it be this: you are beautiful, you matter, and you are loved.
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.

so anxious and overstimmed i feel feverish
my parents got a new puppy and im helping train it and take it out at night and stuff and oh my god i am having such bad executive dysfunction because of that, it's pretty pathetic my brain sees i have to do something like 4 times a day and absolutely explodes
I wish I could explain this to people, like my brain makes my body feel physically uncomfortable when this happens and the spoons dry up so fast. At least the pupper is worth the effort and discomfort. Animals are awesome, how old is it?
like 2 months i think
Puppys are adorable, but they're also a load of work, and that's already hard on people without executive dysfunction. I feel for you, and I hope you have/find an outlet for the overstimulation.
Is the puppy cute at least to make it a tiny bit easier?
yes, and im his favourite
Perfect
Sorry to hear that. My landlady has a tiny dog and although I do suffer with executive dysfunction I found the dog actually helped with that. It gave me something to get up and go out for. At least until my ankle injury and foot surgeries put a stop to that. If you get in a routine with the dog you might find that instead of avoiding it, you start to really enjoy it.
