I have Hidden Disabilities 🌻

More Information

My asthma has a handful of symptoms that affect me in certain conditions. It's affected me my whole life. Most commonly, my asthma is triggered by heavy exercise, and allergens (pollen, dust, smoke, mold). I am sensitive to strong smells. When I become sick, my asthma worsens with wheezing, chest tightness, coughing, and shortness of breath. 

I am mitigating it with a 90mcg albuterol inhaler. I am generally fine, but sometimes I require support in severe situations. I usually take 2 puffs (one dose) and hold it for about 30 seconds. I use it as needed when I feel symptoms. If it is more severe I can double the dose, until my symptoms fade.

Some ways to support me, include learning about asthma. Generally, if I'm having intense symptoms, I may look like I'm fainting, intense wheezing, and my face may go pale due to lack of oxygen, I need to be transported to a hospital as soon as possible. Ideally, use the inhaler to prevent it from worsening, before hospitalization.

Asthma

My chronic pain affects me daily. Along with my usual aches and pains from my depression, I was hit by a car in an auto/pedestrian accident. My ankle was severely hurt in this and left lasting long-term pains in my legs and body. This accident has left my body in pain constantly. I can walk and run and have gone through physical therapy to walk again, but I still experience weakness in my leg and frequent pain. Whether I move my leg or not, it will hurt. I cant stand for long without pain. Occasionally there are days where it feels better or worse than normal. It also limits my mobility/flexibility and balance.

I am mitigating my pain by using a cane when necessary. I also use other assistive devices. 

Some ways to support me, include being present when speaking to me. It helps to have me as a person acknowledged before my disability, especially when my cane is present. It helps to have a support system mentally, and physically. I need space to rest. Please help me only when I ask!

Chronic Pain

My depression has a lot of symptoms that affect me day to day. Most often I am affected by fatigue, irritability/negative feelings, difficulty concentrating, remembering, difficulty sleeping, changes in appetite, and physical aches. Chronic fatigue really hits me the most, so I only have a limited amount of time in a day where I can complete tasks before burning out and crashing.

However, I am mitigating it with 40mg of fluoxetine (Prozac) and therapy. I am generally working on myself but sometimes I require support.

Some ways to support me, include learning about depression, reminding me of tasks, assisting me in creating routines, and making plans together. Please give me more space when I ask. Please give me some grace, for time to rest and recover. If something doesnt work for me I can move things around to make sure I’m healthy and still meeting daily goals. For example, events and time slots. 

Depression

My anxiety has a lot of symptoms that affect me day to day. Most often I am affected by restlessness, uncontrollable worrying, racing heart, sweating, shaking/tremors, feeling out of control, nausea, and trouble conversing with new people.

However, I am mitigating it with 40mg of fluoxetine (Prozac) and therapy. I am generally working on myself but sometimes I require support.

Some ways to support me, include learning about anxiety, and speaking to me first can also help. I also tend to be much more direct and forward to asking questions to help mitigate my worries. Please don't be afraid to be blunt as I just want clarification. I am not sensitive to critique so feel free to speak however you please. Please give me more space when I ask, I tend to be more comfortable with more time.

Anxiety

My PTSD has a lot of symptoms that affect me day to day. Most often I am affected by triggers of things related to abuse, and vehicles. I'm able to speak about it, but I have anxiety in certain conditions. I may be on edge when crossing streets, when I hear engines, or when I'm in front or behind cars. My stress increases when talking to authority figures. My anxiety and depression tend to overlap in symptoms with my PTSD.

However, I am mitigating it with 40mg of fluoxetine (Prozac) and therapy. I am generally working on myself but sometimes I require support.

Some ways to support me, include learning about PTSD, and not touching me without permission (I am easily startled). Please give me more space when I ask, I tend to be more comfortable with more time.

PTSD

My ADHD has a lot of symptoms that affect me day to day. Most often, I am affected by forgetfulness, sudden daydreaming, distractions/short attention span, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. This also includes things like executive dysfunction, rejection sensitivity, and emotional dysregulation. I'm pretty sure I also forgot a few... but that's the ADHD working away...

However, I am mitigating it with 10mg of amphetamine salts (Adderall) and therapy. I am generally working on myself but sometimes I require support.

Some ways to support me include learning about ADHD, written reminders, proactive and clear  communication, consistency/routines, and a little patience!
