Hello! Sorry for the late mega last week. How are my disabled comrades doing?

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.

    imho, you only get to say "it could be so much worse!" about your own situation or the situation of a friend who has asked for comfort

    otherwise, you need to stfu, because you don't know all the surrounding circumstances in a person's life, and you obviously haven't come to terms with the fact that what can seem bearable in one situation is absolutely intolerable in others.

    all of that is just to say that you should completely disregard those people; they lack intelligence, sense, and empathy, and this lack makes their opinions and thoughts utterly meaningless.
