struggling with shutdown. the past month has tremendously overwhelmed me. doing my best not to lose communication, but i feel myself fading away more. i don't know how to navigate becoming higher and higher support needs without any access to more support and only increasing responsibilities.

So here’s the thing. Rest is good. It’s vital, whether you’re chronically ill or not. But when you’re chronically ill, it’s really goddamned annoying. Like oh, thank you, body, guess I’ll just lie here and think about all the shit I was supposed to do but can’t because you threw a shit fit.

I get that everyone’s instinct is to joke we should just bring on the rapture and get rid of these people but you should know the only way the rapture happens is if all the world’s Jews go to Jerusalem and drop dead so they can climb over our corpses on the way to heaven. So maybe not so funny? 😬

Ooo, interesting. Is there a rice you've found to work best? Short or long grain white, jasmine, brown, etc? Does the type even matter in your experience?

Much appreciate the suggestion! I've heard of rice water washes but have been hesitant due to concern of not doing it right and being sticky (autistically cannot handle sticky). I will give your instructions a shot for sure tho, now that I have liquid shampoo to unsticky if need be lol

A list of derivatives found in skincare, as a glimpse of what I mean by miles long. This year at age 27, I finally found a liquid shampoo and conditioner that is 100% safe for me. It's been a life of castile soap and apple cider vinegar rinses before now. It's pricey at $50, though, so I ration it.

Hellie @splitgill.bsky.social · 22/06/2025

Food is an obvious issue, but even disinfect wipes or car fresheners. Most things that the public use in their daily lives could send me into allergen overload and potential anaphylaxis. The FDA recently removed coconut from allergy lists, too, so everything is even more difficult and expensive.

Hellie @splitgill.bsky.social · 22/06/2025

It's a complex one, for sure. I am not allergic to avocados or bananas, but I am allergic to latex because of the coconut derivatives. The list of coconut derivatives is miles long, almost not an exaggeration. Everything from personal hygiene, medications, doormats, even the stuffing in mattresses.

As someone with a near life-long workaholic problem, it's a real issue for me. If I could be working, I would be! I used to hold three jobs at once, but the jobs that used to be accessible no longer are. I wish this wasn't the case for so many of us left behind in the mass disabling event.

Hellie @splitgill.bsky.social · 22/06/2025

Deeply felt. I rely solely on my partner after physically and cognitively declining from covid, doing my best to live as minimally as possible because I know how difficult it is to be a caretaker. My coconut allergy has increased in severity as well, so being in public, even masked, isn't feasible.

No one should go without food or water for any amount of time, but it's especially detrimental to disabled folx. Heat is so hard on the heart. I empathize so deeply with the fear of the unknown you must be experiencing right now. My words are little consolation, but you are cared about and wanted🩵🩷

I'm also allergic to sunscreen! Mine is due to being allergic to coconut, which is in everything. I have lupus so being outdoors during the day is a non-option at this point, I've always said I don't burn, I boil lol

Heard and felt. I used to always be cold and still mostly am, but perimenopause and POTS has changed that this year. Even when I'm cold tho, hyperhydrosis causes me to sweat constantly so in heat I dehydrate even quicker.

Protect healthcare for EVERYONE. That means intersex people who rely on gender-affirming care, too. Elliott, 23: "As an intersex and trans person, accessing gender-affirming care is vital for my health and well-being. I’ve been taking hormones since I was 14." ▶️ www.teenvogue.com/story/6-inte...

Elliott (he/him) Intersex and trans advocate. Elliott smiles in a hoodie and shirt with the word "intersex" peeking out. He sits in a wheelchair and smiles in front of the Magic Gardens, an art display made of mosaics.

Gender affirming care allowed me to take charge of my own health journey, access hormones that meet my medical needs, and heal from the devastating emotional impact of surviving forced medical interventions as an intersex child. National restrictions on gender affirming care would take all of that away—putting my physical and mental health at risk, all while ignoring what intersex and trans adults have to say about our needs.

Bodily autonomy is a human right. Transness isn't a disease that needs to be cured. We're a normal part of the spectrum that is the human condition. And we deserve to have the final say over our own bodies - not just because of the harm if we don't, but because they belong to us and not the state.

I've found that Autistic people tend to lean to one or the other extreme when it comes to how we react to peer pressure. Either we are VERY resistant to it or very vulnerable to it. This is one reason a lot of us are still staunch maskers- even those of us without known immunocompromised states.

and if you're wondering why I still use seasonings even though I can't smell or taste, it's because I like sprinkling

Mixing cottage cheese with miso paste, a little mayonnaise, seasonings, and hot sauce and incorporating into hot rice - may sound disgusting, but I can't taste and the mouth feel is my favorite way to eat rice now If anyone that can taste is brave enough to try please report back with thoughts

Needing to wear a mask 100% of the time in public means I can't eat in public. At. All. This means I couldn't even take a 4 hour shift even if the rest of my body let me do it. It also means if I lose my room, I die within days from dehydration. No way around it.
