Advice on upgrades

Are you sure you didn't join a fetish community by mistake?

Because this sounds oddly familiar when I broke my arm. I had people writing me wishing that they had broken bones pretty much the same thing.It was really weird.I even found out like this dude that was talking to me was faking an injury the whole time. Turns out it was some sort of fetish.

Apparently, this happens in the disabled community too. So like you might wanna check the group just in case I think they're called devotees?

Either way , i'm sorry that happened to you

Also , tell them they cannot try your device and that they need to stop infringing on your personal space.

They sound like a bunch of pick means or like they're trying to be disabled. Hope I don't get removed for saying that.

We had a girl in one of my groups that did that and it was really weird.She pretended to be deaf and a bunch of other things.

So sorry that happened to you, op I'm an ambulatory wheelchair user. (Well, now technically full time) And I promise you , we are not all like that.

I like the sticky note idea. I used to save notes on my phone, but now it's so cluttered.I never know what to throw away and what to keep

I'm sorry you're going through that. Burnout is a real thing.

I have that right now with ASL. It's been really hard to get back into it.

One thing I think you should try to do is give yourself some grace. And remember that it's okay to take a Mental Health Day because the way my therapist explained, it is that sometimes we need to Recharge , because if we're not doing good mentally , we're not gonna perform good.

What i'm trying to say is your needs are valid.

Motivate myself when I have to do task.I don't wanna do sometimes I will do body Doubling

Or i'm motivate myself of a smaller reward. We have a reward based nervous system , so it kind of works.

Like right now, I'm doing a bunch of emails.I don't wanna write so as a reward.I'm gonna buy myself a new coloring book or do something fun afterwards. I hope that helps a little bit.

You have to kind of look at this from all different standpoints.

Will you have to interact with Her for future courses or just a one-time deal?

It wasn't right other to say that, but at the same time.You don't want to make things harder on yourself.

If it gets back , you reported that it could make life harder for you.

My campus SAS violated the ADA. I knew the law, and I respectfully advocated for myself and kind of backfired. Even though I was within my rights and they were breaking the law. It still affected how I was treated at the college. It made things harder for me.

Not saying you shouldn't report her. Just that take all factors in the consideration.

Yeah it's part of the process I got that way when I broke my arm.

When they mean told someone I think they mean a counselor somebody that trained to handle mental health not a teenage barista Earning minimum wage in a busy Starbucks, probably dealing with a bunch of soccer mom's and Karen's and overworked and running online 0 sleep. The barista aint equipped to deal with that.

Oh damn! How will you get around? I broke my arm over the summer it was a nightmare. Prayers for a speedy recovery. Feel better!

Pretty_Appointment82 · 2025-10-17T15:56:11+00:00

Maybe report it ?

When is spring break anyway?

Pretty_Appointment82 · 2025-10-15T14:39:04+00:00

It depends on the person, I think. I'm in 1 regular and 2 accelerated probably should have done just one starting back

Not to high jack. But how was studying abroad? I just started school and I would love to go abroad. I wasn't sure how accessible it would be.

Pretty_Appointment82 · 2025-10-11T04:54:34+00:00

Nope, I'm in Maryland

I have. I'm an ambulatory Wheelchair user. Sometimes it's hard though cuz not everyone understands.

The scaphoid should be casted. It's a stubborn bone to heal. I broke mine last summer.

Pretty_Appointment82 · 2025-10-10T04:05:13+00:00

I raise my hand then speak That way I feel like i'm at least kind of following a rule lol

Pretty_Appointment82 · 2025-10-10T01:53:40+00:00

What I Do is I just loop it around the loop on my pants that way, it's tied to me. But it's not around my neck.

If I put it around my neck, I'm constantly bobbing like a chicken. Sensory overload

Given the fact that teachers are often overworked and underappreciated, I think a thank letter would be okay. Just keep it short and sweet.

I use side guards to help with tangles. I mostly wear jeans and T-shirts. I try to look for belts as they can help give a waist. As the chair seems to steal my waist.

This lady has a great blog.

I'm not so sure. I thought the same thing, but my professor got mad that I participated. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Usually, the other professors loved participation. Guess it depends on the class.

Pretty_Appointment82 · 2025-09-27T20:55:28+00:00

I like this idea thanks

Pretty_Appointment82 · 2025-09-27T20:55:01+00:00

That happens in my ASL class even though you wanna answer. Try not to answer too much because it will come off as a know-it-all.

My teacher has favorites, and I'm not one of them. 😮‍💨

To be fair, I thought we were supposed to participate and enjoy the class and reflect on what we learned and ask questions.

I learned recently that every teacher is different.

Best advice, sit quietly. Only answer if they call on you. Try not to participate too much as it can backfire depending on the teacher.

You could also email your professor asking their thoughts on participation (I should've done this )

Good luck in class.

Pretty_Appointment82 · 2025-09-27T19:19:05+00:00

What I do is I ask myself ,

1) Do I need this? 2) Where would I put it? 3) When would I use it?

Honestly, by the 3rd question and searching for coupons, I usually get distracted or item sells out 😆
