![✨ VISIBLE SIGNS OF MY "INVISIBLE" DISABILITY ✨
1️⃣ TENS unit clipped on my jeans to help my foot and ankle pain
2️⃣ Wearing sneakers because a) they're the only shoes I can really tolerate b) I have an indoors and an outdoors pair c) I have to wear sneakers/can't go barefoot for long because of my foot and ankle pain
3️⃣ Leaning on my closet door slightly because it's the only way I can really stay still for pictures
4️⃣ Wearing glasses because I can't wear contacts due to dry eyes, which is a side effect of many of my medications
5️⃣ Popsocket on my phone because I really can't keep a grasp on it due to my super arthritic hands
These are just some visible signs! Just because you don't see these things doesn't mean they aren't there if you look. Invisible disabilities aren't truly invisible.
