For Disability Pride Month, one thing I'd love abled bodied people to figure out is how to speak to someone with chronic health issues without implying that if they themselves had the disabled person's health conditions, they would end it all. I promise you life goes on- even with health issues.

As someone who is undergoing cancer treatment and the associated sickness and compromised immunity, the thing that I get from people is "OMG you are so brave" and I'm like I am scared to death some days. No bravery involved, just doing what the doctors want me to do and trying to stay alive.

This reminds me of a friend I had who was in the military. "All I did was drive officers around base all day. Stop thanking me for my service."
