๐ THE BODY DOESN’T LIE. THE SYSTEM JUST DOESN’T LISTEN.
“I’m really struggling with my muscle dysphonia, eosinophilic asthma, and panic attacks…”
What you interpret as avoidance is actually triage.
When my lungs tighten, when my voice collapses, it is not a choice.
It is the by-product of your clinical negligence, your procedural hostility, and your smug refusal to read.
⚖ COURTROOMS, COUGHING, AND COLLAPSE
“Stressful situations… court appearances, hostile behavior, and misunderstandings… make it almost impossible to communicate…”
You have engineered a legal gauntlet that punishes respiratory compromise.
You escalate, then pathologise the symptoms you cause.
This isn’t “support.” This is litigated harm.
๐ STOP EXPECTING A VOICE FROM A SYSTEM YOU SILENCED
“I often feel dismissed and not taken seriously…”
Indeed. Because your allegiance is not to health. It is to hierarchy.
You don’t want participation—you want performance.
And when I fail to deliver a theatrical monologue under duress, you label me the problem.
I am not difficult. I am disabled.
And your disbelief has been archived.
