Privilege Denying Dude is tired, too. #spoonie
You were too tired to get out of bed for two weeks?
Everyone has mornings like that, but I just come in anyway.
OMG BEEN THERE.

This came across my Tumblr dash with the caption "This is how ableism hurts people…"
So one of my in real life friends unfollowed me today because she said I was too negative and she needed to surround herself with positive people and that I was too much of a drain, which I understand. It’s not like we’ve been best friend since childhood and people have their own issues to deal with and I don’t fault her for that at all and I hope she finds the positivity she seeks, but it has kind of just reinforced my theory that I am quite alone right now, because once you stop being the fun person everyone met, and your troubles grow beyond a reasonable amount, you just aren’t really worth it anymore particularly when you yourself are really sort of mentally incapable of supporting anyone else because everyday is a struggle to be alive. And you know, I have known that about myself for a long time, I just haven’t really had anyone say that to me until now. You know, I’ve also tried to keep a lot of these feelings contained to this blog because I don’t want to be even more of a burden to my friends and family, and I feel like if I am just typing it that it makes my problems less so but then they became more of a burden to people who do read this. I just don’t want to do this anymore. (http://hotblondecocktail.tumblr.com/)
