Disabled Community Megathread from November 17, 2025 to November 30, 2025

I have always been fond of music, especially when I'm feeling down. Now, I don't think there's enough popular songs about disability and how we struggle each day. But I stumbled across a song the other day that, while it's not about disability, I've been listening to quite often when I feel like I failed somehow. When all that's happening is really just me struggling and making it through another day, for better or for worse, I like to remind myself that I am perfectly incomplete, but I am good the way I am. I hope that maybe it helps you too.

Friendly reminder to please use ::: spoiler spoiler tags and content warnings [cw] Hexbear CoC ::: for sensitive content that falls under Hexbear's Code of Conduct. You can find the spoiler tag here:

After clicking it, just substitute the second "spoiler" with your content warning and the three underscores ( ___ ) with your sensitive content, and you're all done.

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.

  • people seem deranged these days. I don't know what happened to make everyond so fucking weird. I am so tired of everything. it feels like america would rather i be dead. I don't want to be dead, but only because i dont want to add to the suffering of people i love. So so tired.

    • America seems to want a lot of people dead, but as a state, it always has wanted people dead for profit. I'm sorry you're suffering from it as well. Know that we appreciate you here and are glad that you're around

      • Thanks, i got to spend a little time with my nephews and their chaotic energy always help pull me out of the tailspin. I really appreciate this comm, you all have much better responses than a general forum or an overly concerned but ignorant loved one. Thank you.

        • That's what this comm is supposed to be :) I'm glad we can give you at least a little thing to make you feel a little better.

          Your nephews sound like a delight, I'm glad they can cheer you up!

    • People always want the disabled dead. Even in Utopia, Thomas More said if someone is ill/disabled with no hope of a cure, they should unalive themselves to prevent them from being a burden to others.
