I have 5 invisible illnesses (EDS, Dysautonomia, Mast Cell, Lupus, and Endometriosis). Not including anxiety, depression, OCD, chronic pain, and chronic fatigue (these are considered symptoms of 1 or more of my diagnoses). I’ve been disabled for about 12 years, so luckily my immediate…
I was a competitive dancer (for 11 years at that point) when I first started showing signs of my disabilities. I was dancing 5 or 6 days a week for at least 6 hours a day. A doctor told me I was “just out of shape”, and there was nothing wrong with me. Almost 10 years later, we finally…
When I was 8 or 9 a white van stopped at a red light in front of us. A man got out with a gun and shot up the car beside him. He slowly turned around and pointed the gun at the driver of the car I was in. Luckily the light had turned green, and he calmly got back in his van and drove…
I live where “Home Town” on HGTV is filmed, and the amount of people who find the houses that are on the show just to walk up to their porches/doors/windows is insane. This is not Disney. People actually live in these homes, and you looking into the windows is creepy. Not to mention…
When I went to bed crying with our dog (the dog who hated him so much, and was scared of him) standing over me, growling at him. She wouldn’t even let him in the door. I knew right then I had to get out. She had never growled at anyone before, and I knew that if the situation was…
I have a connective tissue disorder, and I’m a retired competitive dancer. The amount of “so how flexible are you?” questions and comments I get is disgusting.
Retired competitive dancer here. I didn’t have pinky toenails for YEARS after quitting pointe. My joints are destroyed, I will forever stand in 5th position with my stomach sucked in/butt tucked, and nobody ever believes all of the really cool things I accomplished when I completed.…
My mom has been a teacher for 20+ years and has saved a ton of projects from previous students. I forgot I had to turn in a report on space so I took an old project my mom had saved, put my name on it, and turned it in. Got a perfect score, and impressed the hell out of my teacher…
I knew a guy named Semaj James. I knew identical twins named Cornelius and Carnelius- they were called Corn and Car. Being from Mississippi those aren’t even some of the weirdest names, but just some guys I knew personally
I don’t understand the annoyance about holding fish. I’m from the south, so fishing is super common. Most of the “big fish” guys hold for pictures are from charters, so they probably paid a good bit of money to catch that fish. If they caught that fish without being on a charter that’s…
