Hey Pandas With A Disability Or Disorder, What’s The Worst Thing Someone Has Said To You About It? (Closed)

Wow you're only 12? You're so young, you shouldn't have to deal with this, I'm so sorry. Next time someone tells you something like that, slap them in the face and tell them "it's not that easy, why don't you shut up until you do your research and actually understand? thank you" then walk away, they won't mess with you after that

Tell them, you can't just stop being ADHD. It is not something you can cure.

So, I missed the deadline for this but I have asthma and someone at my class at school said I was fake coughing and I could run faster if I tried. I needed to make myself cough to breath because I forgot my inhaler and my legs were really sore so I couldn't run fast (I also have terrible stamina). I know this isn't exactly what the title meant but I thought I should share

Oh, sure. Mindless conformity is the way forward.

No s**t! Traumatic experiences have a way of doing that.

People who have not been to war cannot begin to understand. And, ironically, that is, because you and the rest of the army, did a good job. (Although I am a pacifist and would much prefer nobody be deployed anywhere. But I haven’t figured out the rules of global peacekeeping yet. So.)

Jesus wept. My baby brother came home, thank the gods, but he has severe PTSD and is not the same boy who left. We are thankful to have him, but he is living in his own hell.

no s**t sherlock

oh my god that s the worst I have adhd and I take meds and a friend I argue with sometimes makes comments that hurt my feelings and they just don't understand that you can't just be strong, you have to try, of course, but you can't just *glitter noise* be cured of depression *sparkle noise*. I hope your ok and your life is good/better/getting better

About taking meds: I tell people quite firmly, "I need them." Haven't had anyone argue back yet.

It stings the worst when close ones keep telling you to "just smile, stop being so serious/sad/introvert". Damn, the ppl who are supposed to understand you to the core 🤦‍♀️ Add comparisons for extra spice "your aunt/sister/brother is having SUCH a hard time at work/private life, and you could support more" - all with a hint that you're just playing drama.

So basically... “you’d stop being ill if only you must made yourself well!” Yeah that makes sense...

What the f**k is this?!

Though to be fair, I didn't know until relatively recently how invasive a mastectomy actually is! It's not merely the breast tissue that is removed, but a huge chunk of muscle as well.

What a really dumb thing for that person to say to you. I think you are brave for going through that.

Nothing big /s

Dude that sucks. Not your fault at all. To be honest, those kids right now are probably more out of shape than you'll ever be, they are probably smoking, doing drugs, etc.

Does it annoy you when people who are perfectly fine complain about masks and "Not being able to breath"?

Damn I feel that. I have undiagnosed crap lungs and people look at me so weirdly when I say I struggle to run and breathe at the same time. That’s super messed up that her friend ASKED what was going on and then shamed her for answering. How ridiculous.

You need to stick up and tell them that because of your lung disease you can't breathe in certain conditions. I know it might be hard to gather up the courage to but if they make fun of you because of your disability you need to tell someone about it

They need education as well as learning some empathy.

I'm so f*****g sorry no one deserves this s**t.

We have taught our gang from birth on that everyone is different, and unless you are complimenting someone, don't point out their differences. (It's rude!) If the kids have questions, it's ok (in certain circumstances) to politely ask the person a question. i.e. Gender question - "What do you prefer to be called?" Someone struggling with a disability "can I help you?" etc. True story - at a store in Ohio one day, our 6 year old heard the accent of a little girl visiting from the UK and asked her if she was a "Real Princess" and if she lived in a castle. Apparently everyone in the UK is Royal.) The little girl was lovely and she told our Nora that she lived in a flat near Shadwell. Nora was confused and then told her that she must secretly a princess, she just didn't know it yet. Bless.

i am so sorry.... you shouldnt have to go through with this. Do you have any friends you might be able to stay with???

No it's not! It's probably their fault for passing it to you!
