Two part meme. Part one is a crying young person who looks like they’re desperate to get someone to understand something. Caption: ‘Me explaining why I can walk fast and run but can’t stand or walk slowly well’. Part two is a super annoyed looking, slightly older person. Caption: ‘people still assuming I’m lying out of laziness’.

    Me trying to explain I can’t sit up to people or I faint.

    People keep on telling me to sit up so I say fuck it and sit up to show them, obviously I faint, I wake up a couple minutes later.

    Them: Damn you’re a great actor dude.

      That’s messed up. I can feel your frustrations and I have the same thing too. My heart stopped during a tilt table test and I’ve passed out several times just from standing. I have to do so much just to maintain a low normal blood pressure.

        A lot of people feel it is their “responsibility” to weed out “fakers” of disability.

        (Never mind that disability application process is a nightmare in most countries that takes years, where even if you are disabled you often have to apply multiple times and hire a lawyer hefore you get accepted etc.)

          Gonna be honest, people like that are quite assholes.

          But yeah, I have heard quite often, that applying for disabilities is quite a nightmare.
