i will never forget blatant ableists & Covid unsafe people discarding me in one of the worst moments of my life within my chronic illnesses, then coming out of the woodwork to seek my advice & empathy when they themselves became disabled with long covid
And people were fine to largely ignore what we were saying but as soon as they experience it, it all of a sudden becomes real. I’m not trying to minimize anyones experiences, but it feels like I’m being gaslit twice simultaneously.
