Re: Pet Peeves / Rants

If you'd like, you're in. Sarilla the grey hair.

Also the "if mental illnesses were treated like physical ones" discourse is lazy garbage as you say. There's this weird idea that, like, the physically disabled have it "better." Which ignores both the constant ableism the physically disabled face and invisible physical disability.

My stance is very much that mental illness is sort of disability adjacent, in that there absolutely must be a conversation but that it shouldn't take over/dominate the ableism/disability discussion, which in a lot of pop progressive discourses (@tumblr, everyday feminism, et all). I say this, to give my social justice credentials (lol), as a person who is both disabled and mentally ill. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think it's up to each person to decide if/which of their problems count as disabilities. I'm unable to run because of degenerative joint disease that's only going to get worse but it's my mental illnesses that have been the most disabling things in my life. I disagree with people who say they should never be included just as much as I disagree with people who say they should always be included.

I think we essentially agree. My point is that I so often see the disabilities conversation entirely overtaken by mental illness conversation, when I think they really do need to be separated, both because the latter shouldn't dominate/drown out the former, and because while they overlap they are not the same discussion. My mental and physical illnesses are problematic in very different ways in my life; they effect each other, but they're not in the same category. Etc etc

I find the line between mental and physical illnesses to be a bit artificial sometimes. My anxiety has been really bad for the last several hours and it's every bit as physical as my other problems. My chest hurts, it's doing bad things to my blood pressure and my stomach, my knees are shaking just as much as when their own problems are acting up, my muscles ache from the tension I can't relax. Sometimes the line that people insist on drawing to separate it from my other problems just feels like a denial of how strong and pervasive the effects are.

I do know what you mean about certain issues dominating the discussions online and I agree that it can be a problem. This is just a really bad night for me to hear it.

The impression I've always gotten was that people with invisible disabilities have to deal with the fact that people don't believe their disabilities exist and people with visible disabilities have to deal with people being assholes about their visible disabilities - both terrible, but not exactly the same problem - and mental illnesses are their own separate thing that kind of overlaps with invisible disabilities in a lot of ways, but are different enough that they can't be treated the same way.

(I'm kind of arguably disabled myself. My problems make my life worse but don't require fundamental changes to anything, just lots of pain medication. And also I have an anxiety disorder, although that's getting better.)
