Living with disabilities is a masterclass in how to handle gaslighting
You get it from everyone. Doctors, family, friends, bosses, colleagues
A neverending litany of people telling you “it can’t be THAT bad” or “you should just do this”
We are the experts in our bodies. Respect us. Listen to us.

Needs:
• A room in a quiet home—she can pay rent. (She does require care assistance, but she has already qualified for this funding support & can provide a carer’s allowance.)
• Someone in Australia, preferably in Victoria, to help do verbal communication. Anna has everything you need documented, she just needs someone to sit on the phone.
• Funding for moving costs & aids until provision can be established.
• A way to move safely & with consideration for her ME [severe myalgic encephalomyelitis], preventing infection risk, etc.
• A disability advocate who is capable of helping complex cases.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rfikrsh6cx7yrwhev633hr77/bafkreignndiyjwjqcm6tlaqhmbwubbe2k65uj42ml33xa5vh3kqabtvexq)
