Overcoming Internalized Ableism with EDS

Me 👏too👏. I don’t have much advice because I deal with this in a daily basis. I once had a person tell me that I should “wait until I’m older bc then I’d know real pain” when he saw my brace. I don’t know how to deal with it and it takes too much to explain it every time. I think the answer may come from within. Maybe once I have accepted my condition, I won’t worry about others much

Same! I offer all the grace in the world to everyone else yet to myself I get so down on me for sleeping more or not being productive every second of everyday. I guess if we have no advise to offer it’s at least helpful to know we’re not alone.

Thank you for asking this. I’m in the same boat and would love to hear from others 💛

I feel the same way, don’t know how to overcome it
