@Yadira Arnold I really don't get it. This seems like a plot hole because that means if criminals like pedos and rapists get to go to heaven simply if they believe Jesus is gods son
I was born with a disease that makes me look like the fetus version of Lord Voldemort. I’m the one on the right in my profile picture. The beautiful woman on the left is my girlfriend, Hannah. She is able-bodied, and you would be astounded by the reactions that we get when people find out we are a couple. Disability is so horribly stigmatized in our society, and a major theme of that stigma is that people with disabilities are incapable and unworthy of romantic relationships and intimacy. That idea is overwhelmingly untrue, and Hannah and I are working to show the world the truth. On our channel, we are documenting our relationship, our travels, and our everyday life to show people how satisfying and “normal” an interabled relationship can be.
I’m happy for you having your gf, hopefully you’re still together. I’m sad you get looked at badly as a couple and as a person outside. It’s so awful people can’t just be who they are in the world and not be judged.
'Are you in pain?' 'Not physically.' Thank you for featuring borderline personality disorder. It is unbelievably stigmatised and many people hate sufferers of it. I wish this young lady all the very best.
I never even thought of my BPD as a disability, but when thinking about my daily life I can see how it has done a lot of damage. I'm also very glad to see it being represented in this video along with other disabilities that aren't seen on the surface.
I dated a girl with BPD. It was a roller coaster and a half, but jesus it was a lot of fun too. She was extremely open about, saying that she would end up hurting me sooner or later, and I accepted that. Even though she hurt me pretty badly (cheating and texting me about it), I was prepared for it, so it didnt hurt as much. That said, it doesnt defend her actions, but I respect that she was open about it to me. We are still friends :)
I love how Raine interacts with everyone. I know there’s no bad intentions with this but-people often approach others disabilities way too cautiously. As the PTSD guy put it: tip toeing. She did none of that, making them comfortable in their own environment. There wasn’t pity. Just respect
Dude, I have endometriosis and the way that one woman acted when she was being told about it, that’s how I wish everyone responded. But usually I get “I have bad periods too” LIKE YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND
Fucking same!!!! My nanna, my mom and I have endometriosis. It is awful and I hate when people just respond with that bullshit. Unless you were diagnosed with a condition like endometriosis or pcos I have a hard time believing the bad period thing.
I absolutely agree that people that don't have the diagnosis in question shouldn't say that they can relate to it, and to say "I have bad periods too" is a bad answer. But! People can have real bad period pains without them. My mom used to more or less drop to the ground because her cramps were so severe. They probably don't compare to the pain you're going through, but they shouldn't be dismissed, either.
I personally don't have endometriosis, but I my cousin does and from what she's told and from what I've witnessed, anyone who suffers with it, you are some of the strongest people on this fucking planet and I'm so proud of you for not letting it get in the way of your life and not letting it define you
Alexandra McHaffie I have bad periods and all of my female family members have had it on my moms side, and I learned from my mom that if you’re family has had it you have a higher chance of having it. Is that true
Same! I'll tell someone how bad my cramps used to be (on birthcontrol now so I don't have my period at all) and they'll be like "oh yeah, I have bad cramps too". You know, I dont doubt that it feels bad, I really don't - but there is a difference between endometriosis period cramps and normal period cramps. When I was in school and had my period, the first 1-2 days I almost always stayed at home because he cramps where so bad i could barely stand up. A few years ago it even got so bad that I threw up because of the pain. (It was also really hot outside so that could have somehing to do with it too, most likely a combination of pain and being really warm). I've had friends tell me "yeah, I have bad cramps too but then I take naproxen (painkiller for period cramps) and then I'm fine". They don't work for me. I would always take it during my period out of desperation because nothing else worked, and they did work a tiiiny bit but still not enough for me to walk normally. And yes ofc anyone is allowed to complain about their pain or their anxiety etc. I don't blame people for complaining about shit that is really hard, but there is a different betwen "I'm so sick of -----" and comparing two different levels of pain and essentialy be like "oh its the same". I have also had friends respond with "I wish I could stay at home too" when I told them I wasnt able to get up to go to school because of my depression. Nowadays I cant go to school or work because of fibromyalgia, and I have had several people tell me that they'd love to stay home and watch netflix/tv all day too and not having to do things, or even some who'll say "yeah I have a hard time getting up in the morning too but I just force myself". That's great for yu that you're able to do that, but when you entire body hurts you cant just force yourself to go to school pr work. And it is anything but fun to stay at home all day. I have nevernliked school, but I still miss it- I miss having somehing to go to every day. It is not fun being forced (by your own body) to not do anything but sleep and watch tv. I cant take showers because I cant stand for that long, I cant even stand for 2 minutes while brushing me teeth. I take baths because the hot water helps a little bit wih the pain. I wash ny hair about once a werk because I get so exhausted from it and holding my srms above my head to wash it really hurts. I barely see or talk with friends (they kinda stopped talking with me after the pain got this bad). I can't travel by myself, I can't go to concerts or other events anymore. I can't even be in the same room as someone who is esting because of noise sensitivity. I cant go on walks with my grandma's dog anymore. I cant go ANYWHERE by myself because i cant walk much, I have a wheelchair but I'm not strong enough to wheel myself outside (both because its super hard to do it on asphalt and because I cant even get out of the street where i live without going up a hill (yay for living in Norway where there are hills everywhere) and the pain in my arms get worse when using the wheelchair) I get tired from everything. I can literally lie in bed or on the couch all day and atill need a nap after a few hours because I get exhausted from it. I can sleep for 11 hours and still be more exhausted when waking up than I was when going to bed. Yes, of course people who don't have it that bad can complain if they struggle. I'm always there for my frienda if they need to talk about something or if they just need to complain for a while. I get it. But don't compare your struggles to other people's struggles. I have had many friends who will do the whole "oh I have it worde than you" thing. Don't. Just don't. And don't tell anyone who is forced to stay home all day that you wish you could do the same. Trust me, you don't want this. You don't want an invisible illness that cant be cured. My chronic pain might not be life threatening in any way, but it is life changing. I both wish people would experience this just for a day to know what its like, but I also wouldn't wish this on anyone.
I have endo too and my life was put on hold because of it. Sad how the medical field looks at it like that too. Stay strong hun, I know you can get through this and kick that endo in the ass!
@@PoppyUr I have had lower abdomen pain basically every day since my period started, no joke, but any doctor even ever brought up endometriosis as an option.... They just say it might be IBS and hemorroids and that I have to live with it.....I study medicine so I'm quite aware of things going on in the body, I'm not saying it's endometriosis for sure, but I feel like this disease is being ignored by many.... I hope I can become a doctor and help people like us.
I flipped out bc I have borderline personality disorder and when I saw her I felt a connection and I was like does she have borderline and when she was describing it I was like am I overthinking Bc she more seems depressed then she said borderline I jumped up and was like "HOLY SHIT I WAS RIGHT"
@@chelseygarrett4221 oh true. But I mean she could be right about it being her anxiety tho. I'm not entirely sure I just was diagnosed with bpd in May so I actually mixed up a lot of my anxiety with my bpd so I can never tell anymore.
Hey Molly, you always talk about how you're always watching TH-cam so it isn't shocking to see your comment but it's cool to see we watch the same things
Me too!! Mostly because that would be exactly me in that situation! This actually made me realize that when I get choked up and start crying in a not necessarily sad situation that its actually anxiety. I know I have anxiety but I never understood why I’d cry in very stressful situations and now I realize its a nervous reaction. As much as Im not glad she had so much anxiety Im glad it helped me learn about me and feel more normal. Other people experience this too its not just me :)
I really thought the "guessers" did a pretty impressive job deducing and often getting it right. They definitely acknowledged that invisible disabilities are just as real. Thank you. I see you, Cut, and appreciate what you’re doing. ❤️
"Are you in pain right now?" i think this was a really good/thoughtful question. Because even if it's an "invisible" disability it doesn't mean that it doesn't affect the person, and you should be aware of that if you're interacting with a person with a disability....or people in general
THIS COMMENT 💖💖💖 yes!! I suffer with numerous invisible chronic illnesses and chronic pain and it means so very much to me to hear that!! Thank you for saying this😭
Raine is freaking amazing... She treats everyone equally & doesn't speak to them any differently just because they have a disability. Such a beautiful person!
I love that they had people with disabilities that are both visible and invisible, especially with mental health. As someone who suffers from anxiety, depression, and bipolar, seeing someone with PTSD and BPD meant a lot. Disabilities aren't always physical and aren't always visible
I also suffer from anxiety, depression, PTSD, and some learning disabilities that effect my social ability and most people don't understand but seeing people be so supportive fills my heart
Kayla Hurd I’m autistic which means I learn social cues differently ( basically if people from 18-35 my age group go to a party I’m the last invitee IF I EVEN GO AT ALL )
Is it just me or am i the only one wanting to hug the two women guessing in the line up today? They are so kind and friendly, just wanna give the a good ole' hug!
Josh Castro Hahah nothing to do with the disability. But now it would be weird to hug him too just because he has a disability😉 Sounds like a pity hug then.
The the girl who said she had severe anxiety but feels like others have it worse than her I just wanna tell you something- I have experience with that because of my friends. I have a chronic pain and other chronic illnesses and my friends never wanna complain to me when they’re in pain or have a headache because ‘I have it worse than them on a daily basis’. Let me tell you something and EVERYONE else out there who feels that way. Yes, there is always gonna be people out there who have it worse than you, that’s the way it is. Ya know something though? Just because someone has it worse does NOT DIMINISH THE FACT YOU ARE ALSO IN PAIN AND SUFFERING. Just because others are in more pain or maybe deal with more doesn’t mean what you feel and deal with is any less important. You are a human being who deserves to be happy, to be healthy, to be able to talk about when something is bothering you. You are also in pain. It’s not a competition of who allowed complain or talk about it depending on the severity. You are allowed to be in pain and acknowledge it and tell others and complain. Don’t let the fact that others may have it worse make you feel as if your pain and problems are irrelevant because you are human too. One who deserves everything.
I know the people above me kinda already said this first but I also REALLY-REALLY needed to hear this!! I’m always the person that feels others pain (emotional & physical), so extremely that I completely ignored my own feelings to the extreme. Well, cut to now & I’m at the point that I myself can barely function any longer because I’ve run myself so ragged for so many years now. I’m actually now beyond panic attacks & anxiety & depression and have pseudo-seizures constantly. It just really helped me to hear what you had written. Thank you for writing what you did!! You truly must be an incredibly amazing person💕!! Thank you...just remember that YOU deserve everything as well, love!!!
Proud of you guys. The last part when she cries and everybody around thr room consoles her was cherry on the top.This is what people must do after watching these videos. Make this world better place to live and u all are doing a great job at it. Great job guys. This was one of my favourite videos at cut. Love u guys at Cut well done.
Pizza most of us can... I have severe TS and I am able to surpress them a lot of the day. No one knew I had TS until I got up and told them. I just hold them back when I need to and get up and walk away to let them out. Many people can do that
Can I just say how wonderful all these people are? I cant imagine half the shit they must go through day to day. That lady with turrets for example is fricken amazing but those ticks she has to put up with must be such a burden in her life. Obviously you get used to them throughout the years but still...damn. I love people. I really do. There's good sometimes in this world people.
I have very severe Tourette’s and I can assure you it’s a tough thing to deal with. I’ve broken bones many times from it too which I can’t stand but it’s more painful mentally and emotionally. People stare and it’s embarrassing. And it’s so uncomfortable to have no control over your brain and body. I cried like a baby when that woman came on and told them.
aside from the physical aspects that affect all of your guys' life that makes it a burden i cannot imagine how often you feel like a burden to others because you are making them uncomfortable and that's super upsetting. when she said along the lines of do i take the pills to make other people uncomfortable or do i not take them and be comfortable really was eye opening.
I was fortunate my doctor listened to my and I got it diagnosed quickly. Unfortunately this is not the case for a lot of women. If you feel like your doctor is not listening to you, you know your body better than anyone else. Switch doctors until you get answers!
It took me almost two decades to get diagnosed. I have suffered so so so much. It is really debilitating. My diagnosis came after a small bowel obstruction and a open exploratory surgery found a mass blocking my intestines. Everybody thought it was cancer, but the pathology came back saying "endometrium like tissue". After this first surgery I already had two more, a hysterectomy and another resection of my bowel. I really hope that my life will be better now. But these two decades of excruciating pain have had messed up with my body and mind. I have been diagnosed with migraine and I am also depression.
Lani Nguyen I have Borderline Personality Disorder as well but it is not a disability for me because medication and therapy work so that I am able to go through with daily activities. Yet I can totally relate to you. Even though I am able to go through with my daily activities, if I'm not at work I still want to be alone. I have had symptoms of BPD since I was 10 or 11 and I was not properly diagnosed until I was 20. I only hope for the best for you 💕💕
haminda ojo we were saying the same thing on set. He was smooth as hell lol. He changed the entire dynamic of the guessers. It went from awkward to just a couple of friends catching up
I am so glad that they actually talked about Endometriosis, because a lot of people don’t know about it and it is a serious condition that thousands of women go through that mostly get mistreated just like I did for many years of chronic pain.
Sofia A i have it too. And I was super lucky and getting it diagnosed when I was 17. It makes me really upset that when women go to doctors and say “I have extremely painful periods” it’s not viewed as a problem. I was lucky and I had my mom in my corner going “no it’s not just painful periods, this isn’t normal”. I am really happy it was mentioned too, cause I still deal with people telling me I’m being dramatic even though I’ve been diagnosed.
Moriah Maxwell I was diagnosed at 12 and my mom was super helpful also. Most people think it’s not as bad as it is and it really makes me upset, because it’s the worst pain I’ve ever felt
yes!!! My mom didn't struggle with it, but most of my great aunts/aunts do and so do both my grandmothers. My mom just thought "oh its just part of being a woman" until I was vomiting, fainting, and missing weeks of school because I couldn't get out of bed. Like the PELVIC PAIN is something else aswell as the migraines etc etc. I got my period at 14, and by the time I was 15 (I'm almost 18) I was on the pill so my symptoms are not present now because I do extended cycles so I only have a period 2-4 times a year. The pill doesn't alleviate the pain, but it made it shorter from 9 to 4/5 days. Thankfully I did not have to do the surgeries because they caught it very early, after I only had maybe 5 periods (?) because I was so irregular. I honestly did not know it was considered a disability. It's nice seeing other women understand it.
exactly. mine is in a very early stage because I caught it early on and I take steps to keep myself from further developing It because my mom had stage four and was in chronic pain 3 out of 4 weeks each month and it almost developed into cancer. mine was getting to be about 2-3 weeks out of the month with symptoms and during my period I was in such intense pain I was severely suicidal and unable to function but I never hear anyone talk about it in chronic pain discussions
honestly when a doctor finally put me on the pill I could've cried. like my mom is pro natural medicine and kind of anti medicine at times and was hesitant to put me on the pill (even tho she went through the same stuff) but like my birth control is an honest to god life-saver (genuinely I think I may have done something drastic with the direction it was heading in)
I appreciate how this includes mental illnesses. I feel like those are overlooked as disabilities constantly. And endometriosis was included as well which is awesome!
I love that endometriosis was featured here. There's so little recognition involved with it and it's frustrating. It could've been explained a little better, but it's been 3 years so I'll give it that. I have endo and I'm just glad to see it anywhere outside of support groups.
you guys are the unproblematic, woke buzzfeed. I am surprised I find myself liking Cut more and more, i have actually learned a lot from your videos and they have opened my mind about drugs, drag and now disabilities. I always have a good laugh and I learn something new. And I also love that you feature allll kinds of people out there
I actually burst into tears when the second girl started talking about Endometriosis. It's so rarely acknowledged as a disability but it literally affects every aspect of my life. Thank you so so so much for including this! ❤️
Gia Barrone I have a suggestion against... lol Zoladex or medically induced menopause was something was not right for me. I'm over a year an a half from my last injection and still having SEVERE hot flushes. Just be sure the consultant has given no other viable options. Waiting to start merina coil life..... Not enthusiastic.... lol coukd be worse! But glad to see after so long I and we are really not alone in this 😗
What I would like people to understand about PTSD: it doesn't just affect veterans, and not all veterans have it. Nearly all domestic abuse survivors and children from abusive households have it, and that accounts for a much larger percentage of PTSD cases. But those cases are underdiagnosed because people--including doctors--don't go to the very obvious diagnosis of PTSD for people who haven't had a trauma that they immediately contextualize with PTSD. PTSD is often worse than the trauma, mostly because people living with PSTD get treated like shit while reliving the trauma both psychologically and physiologically. It affects the body and the mind.
I have PTSD from severe bullying in high school where they held a knife to my throat. The amount of time I’ve been told I couldn’t have it because I never went to war is insane. The disease is horrible and being called a liar screws with your head.
I was told multiples times by other kids at school that “ADD and Depression aren’t disabilities” but they walked around every day able to feel happy all day and express emotions and focus easily on whatever they wanted to. It’s hard to understand when you can’t relate.
I understand even though I dont have depression. There was a week I was really hurt in and the whole time trying to forget or ignore what I was annoyed by, but couldnt. It was painful to hold back my tears every minute I remember it. This is absolutely nothing compared to what you or people with depression feel like, but it definitely makes me understand that you are probably experiencing the same thing but have it tougher and more excessive. Stay strong
I get it! Sometimes people will only acknowledge the physical disabilities, but having ADD and anxiety (myself) are just as much a disability. I would say that a disability is something that hinders your daily functioning, so whether it’s physical or mental.
Endometriosis isn’t always considered a disability since it’s severity differs case-by-case. Some people with this disease suffer completely debilitating pain, and others who have it might not even know.
Thank you so much for including someone with Borderline Personality Disorder. I burst into tears as soon as I realized. So much of what she said resonated with me and we get demonized so much... Thank you for showing it in a light that wasn't negative.
I know right!!! I'm a bpd myself, there are even mean websites like don'teverdateagirlwithborderlinepersonalitydisorder.com where guys just bash bpd women by calling them soul sucking women -.-
I have POTS(postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) and I could totally tell when the lady with the chair came in. NIce to know our disability is being represented and the awareness is spreading through this channel.
Yes!! Same here. It's definitely a hard disability to see from the outside. I tend to push myself too much to keep up because no one ever accommodates me. Its nice to see others making waves in the community though! Get the representation we need!
I don't know why I didn't realize that endometriosis is a disability. It was really validating to see people discussing it without minimizing the suffering. Encourages me to be a little kinder to myself when I'm struggling.
I felt the same way! For me, fatigue has been a debilitating effect of endometriosis. But before I knew what it was, I was basically told I was just depressed and needed to pull myself up by my bootstraps. I think it’s easy to internalize that kind of rhetoric.
Not only is it amazing to see both mental and physical disabilities represented equally, but the way all the people in this video communicate with each other is so respectful and understanding. Without a doubt my favourite line up so far 👏👏❤❤
I have POTS(postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome too) and it was so cool to hear that someone else has it, because I feel like not many people know about it.
angelmushahf She's a pro-domme so I'm not surprised. It takes a huge amount of ability to read body language and faces to do that job really well, she's got a really good rep in the community so I'm not surprised she's good at it.
Lineup where everyone is wearing a white T-shirt and they match the person to their outfit! (They could even have like a drag queen or someone with an alternative style that would be hard to guess)
When the girl who brought out the chair said she had POTS, I literally burst into tears because I’ve had to deal with it throughout my life and I’ve felt so alone and just seeing someone so open with it and strong made me so hopeful
I have POTS and i was diagnosed with this after MANY, MANY misdiagnosis and when I found this and a few other comments about POTS i was brought to tears bc i was told that POTS is rare and this proves that statement wrong. I am currently going through a trial and error process with medications bc my body won't take to the ones i have tried so far. So i am trying to get people to contact me so we can form some kind of group to talk about it and help others cope with it. So please reply or contact me on my instagram @faithsanchez03 Thank you!
I love that you also showed people with "invisible" disabilities too. I have sickle cell anemia (a blood disorder) and from the outside I look normal but on the inside I live with chronic pain everyday so seeing this made me feel less alone, thank you. 😘💕💙💜
omg i have POTS too and i was hoping to see someone representing me in this video and when the person came out with the chair I started BAWLING because I knew what it was. I seriously in tears right now from just happiness but also mutual pain. thank you for representing me.
My heart went out to the girl in the last scene getting anxious. Ive had a lot of anxiety and I felt like that was the most relatable part of this whole video. She was totally outgoing and acting fine but once the attention is on your anxiety you feel anxious. Props to everyone in this video for putting everything out there❤️
This went in a different direction than intended. I only said that because its the same name of my icon, Björk Guðmundsdóttir. Ps: yes I did copy and paste her last name... I don't have the time.
When she (I wish they said her name) came out and rested her knee on a chair I had a huuuge feeling she was narcoleptic, because that's a trait I do quiet often to give myself a few more minutes to stay awake. When she did say she had Narcolepsy I was super excited and nearly started crying because seeing someone else a coping mechanism like that was awesome. Plus I also have a heart condition very similar to hers! My heart rate is just constantly high, very interesting Awesome video
PhantomAmber I can not imagine how it must be to live with such a disability / illness(please do say if you prefer another umbrella term for it). I have a classmate with narcolepsy who often kind of falls asleep for a second or so in class and a teacher kind of called her out, obviously not knowing about it and she just shyly said "I'm not doing it on purpose". A lot of people know about epilepsy and take it seriously, but narcolepsy isn't as well known.
Its interesting you say that because for me it immediately gave away the MECFS and POTS (i have both) I mostly use a cane and wheelchair but on good days I use this technique a lot.
My hearts the same we actually had to get it tested it was so bad. I went from laying to sitting and my heart was like 134 beats per minute. I need to drink a lot of water because of it and I get headaches quickly.
This was a really nice video.. and as someone who has an "invisible" disability, its really validating and comforting for me. Thanks cut, you're really out here filling us all with love and knowledge.
Allie Marie yep I agree completely. I too have an invisible disability. Everybody gets ill sometimes, but I get ill quite often because of meds that weaken my immunsystem to keep them from destroying my kidneys.
What would you advise people to do to make your experience better? I want to see if I'm doing anything wrong and fix it. Is it an issue that your disability is invisible or would you prefer that everyone know what it is?
Mandy X'O-twod I think a disadvantage of a invisible disability is that you might get juged as hard as other in sports or at work especially if they don't know that you have that. On the other hand you might get excluded from things if other do know or they treat you like you are an eggshell or they reduce you to your disability and don't see the personality behind it. I like that I can decide to some extend whom I tell about my disability.
Mandy X'O-twod Just be nice to people and if you are unsure how to treat them ask them. I think that is the golden rule no matter who you are talking to.
Mandy X'O-twod be understanding and patient. Ask questions, get educated about it. Communicate, ask that person what you can do to help, example; Some people like to be left alone and some people need comfort etc. Don’t try to save them or fix them. And at the end of the day, just be there for them.
I relate too much to that. (Mine only a 1 in a thousand have it) You can tell shes used to it too because she had a quick explanation shes clearly used to giving. I have Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency and Growth Hormone Deficiency. I've only had two people actually know mine so far... a med student and a professor. I was absolutely shocked, and then teary when the professor understood and I didn't have to fight for understanding and accomodation for my invisible illness. When I'm throwing up due to pain... School and proffessors judging is the last thing I want to be worrying about!
My little brother has Adams Oliver Syndrome which is so rare that it's prevalence is unknown, I've gotten pretty good at explaining it to people who ask but I get so tired of people asking me whats wrong with my brother in a hushed whisper. First of all he's capable of answering for himself, and second theres nothing wrong with him. third I almost want to get "I HAVE A DISABILITY TOO" tattoo on my forehead so maybe people will stop being assholes to my little brother (who given is taller than I am at this point) and pick on someone their own damn size.
Part of me was like "Wow don't get sassy with him for not knowing" and the other half is like "women's issues aren't taken seriously enough to be known by men. If endro was a man's desease, it would be wide known and probably a lot more research and treatments on it."
l know exactly what that is because I have Primary Adrenal Insufficiency! I never met anyone else with it and always had to explain to even doctors what it is unless they're endocrinologists! However, I'm a nurse now and have actually met a few patients with it! We're just rare unicorns is all
I’m so happy to see BPD being represented and not in a negative light. So many people think of awful things with BPD and forget that we are still human
Im about to cry. I’ve never seen someone else who is orthostatic and im genuinely touched beyond belief. It’s so hard to explain the difficulty of standing or moving quickly (especially when you’re young and told to be active) it really hurts knowing I can’t play all the sports I did due to the stronger presence it has in my life now. I’m so relieved to see another person who shares a few struggles as I do. I need to consider the chair thing too because it’s genius (however it’s hard for me to stay leaning as well) thank you for this video as well as the participants spreading awareness in a safe place, it’s motivating
I have POTS and I feel this on a spiritual level. I recently got a wheelchair for when I want to go for an outing with friends but can't exactly take an actual chair everywhere.
If you guys aren't on Twitter, you might wanna consider it ;) The POTSie community there is friggin great. We're amazing, lol. Though we are pretty well intermingled with EDS and MCAS too since most of us have at least one or both of those too. It's SUCH a great place to not feel alone! Come join us! I'm 🔥Hell on Wheels ♿️ over there!
I have tourettes and I could immediately tell that that's what she had cause idk the way she kinda held herself back if that makes sense is the same thing I do when I hold back tics I'm just glad those people knew what it was XD
I have tourettes too, people around me sense that I'm different, but can't tell until I don't hold back. It's often really invisible. I could realate so much, when she said, that it kinda hurts to hold the tics back, 'cause it's really uncomfortable to opress the urge to tic.
"Do you feel more in control of it now?" "No. But you learn to work with it and plan your day accordingly." As someone who also has (what is likely for him) combat-zome CPTSD, I'm really glad he answered quickly and honestly. It isn't something we can turn off, but at the same time it does NOT imply that we are incompetent or incapable.
overly got excited about the woman w Tourette’s. I have Tourette’s and it’s kind of a running joke on TV and a big misconception that it’s this silly condition that makes people swear. I was like “preach hoe” when she went on about the pain it causes. Lots of people don’t understand that while it’s inconvenient to them , it’s even worse for us who have it.
Ya I have tourette's too and people always tell me they couldn't tell and sometimes I can't tell if its a compliment or theyre trying to say I'm lying😂
Crystal Alvarez Tourette’s is weird because it’s worse some times than others, so when I tell people they think I’m lying because they don’t notice it. I don’t understand why someone would want to lie about having Tourette’s... it’s not fun lol
Sarah Lysiak ya exactly, and I've gotten really good at holding my tics back but obviously I still have them and like I clearly do them so I don't understand why people mention that, maybe they think it will make me feel better?
at the end when that girl started getting emotional about her severe anxiety broke my heart... I have suffered with severe anxiety my entire life and unfortunately as I've gotten older its got a lot worse.... I honestly don't see how she is standing in front of the camera... I am a college student and see students give presentations and I have to ask the teacher to just take points off because if I stand up there I would faint.. Theres no way... I cant even speak to the person next to me without sweating.. Ive never considered it as a disability though but i guess it could be for sure.
I have major respect that they used someone for Tourette’s that isn’t shouting out cuss words. Thank you! People need to see the other side of this disability. ❤️
Seeing someone represented with POTS made me feel SOOOOO good. It’s a disease that very few people understand, along with EDS. More content like this!!
"Are you in pain?"
"Not....physically..."
"AW SWEETIE."
Have this lady more often. Or give her a raise or something. Please.
Rest assured they already did put her in a video very often
I LOVED her!!
Eww no! Her foul mouth is just overkill!
@@JamieOCharlotte According to you. Good thing your opinion isn't the only one that matters.
@Yadira Arnold I really don't get it. This seems like a plot hole because that means if criminals like pedos and rapists get to go to heaven simply if they believe Jesus is gods son
"are you in pain?"
"not physically"
this broke my heart omg
olive ik🥺 and the lady was like “aw sweetie”
So sad
how , a lot of the time it can be a mental disorder
Lamar alharbi# don’t be so mean ._.
jeez this generations full of pussies 😂
I was born with a disease that makes me look like the fetus version of Lord Voldemort. I’m the one on the right in my profile picture. The beautiful woman on the left is my girlfriend, Hannah. She is able-bodied, and you would be astounded by the reactions that we get when people find out we are a couple. Disability is so horribly stigmatized in our society, and a major theme of that stigma is that people with disabilities are incapable and unworthy of romantic relationships and intimacy. That idea is overwhelmingly untrue, and Hannah and I are working to show the world the truth. On our channel, we are documenting our relationship, our travels, and our everyday life to show people how satisfying and “normal” an interabled relationship can be.
I’m happy for you having your gf, hopefully you’re still together. I’m sad you get looked at badly as a couple and as a person outside. It’s so awful people can’t just be who they are in the world and not be judged.
I'm so happy for you two! Just subbed😊
Shane and Hannah have the best channel!!! Brightens my day every time they post something :)
KIMBAP BE KIDDING they’re engaged! :)
AHHHH i love yall's videos so much !!!
That black lady is amazing. I love her personality and just how she interacts with everyone. They NEED her in more videos.
Does anyone know her social media info? I'd love to follow her.
@@small_chickens1026 her name is raine but that's all ik
"you be fuckin?"
“that black lady”.
She has a name. She said it in the video.
@@SnailHatan Damn bruh, I really don't care.😐
I forgot overly sensitive people watch these videos.
'Are you in pain?'
'Not physically.'
Thank you for featuring borderline personality disorder. It is unbelievably stigmatised and many people hate sufferers of it. I wish this young lady all the very best.
I never even thought of my BPD as a disability, but when thinking about my daily life I can see how it has done a lot of damage. I'm also very glad to see it being represented in this video along with other disabilities that aren't seen on the surface.
Same!!!!
I dated a girl with BPD. It was a roller coaster and a half, but jesus it was a lot of fun too. She was extremely open about, saying that she would end up hurting me sooner or later, and I accepted that. Even though she hurt me pretty badly (cheating and texting me about it), I was prepared for it, so it didnt hurt as much. That said, it doesnt defend her actions, but I respect that she was open about it to me.
We are still friends :)
Ikr
As soon as she said that she had that I screamed ‘YES QUEEN, THANK YOU!!!!!’ I have it too
I love how Raine interacts with everyone.
I know there’s no bad intentions with this but-people often approach others disabilities way too cautiously. As the PTSD guy put it: tip toeing. She did none of that, making them comfortable in their own environment. There wasn’t pity. Just respect
Was that the girl with the bun?
Tara she’s the black one in all black
ajah224 oh I loved her as well
And she's so damn funny, made my day 😆
Nah son. She was lucky people didn't try to give her shit. Tip toeing is what a lot of disabled people ask for because of the current culture we have
Dude, I have endometriosis and the way that one woman acted when she was being told about it, that’s how I wish everyone responded. But usually I get “I have bad periods too” LIKE YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND
Fucking same!!!! My nanna, my mom and I have endometriosis. It is awful and I hate when people just respond with that bullshit. Unless you were diagnosed with a condition like endometriosis or pcos I have a hard time believing the bad period thing.
I absolutely agree that people that don't have the diagnosis in question shouldn't say that they can relate to it, and to say "I have bad periods too" is a bad answer. But! People can have real bad period pains without them. My mom used to more or less drop to the ground because her cramps were so severe. They probably don't compare to the pain you're going through, but they shouldn't be dismissed, either.
I personally don't have endometriosis, but I my cousin does and from what she's told and from what I've witnessed, anyone who suffers with it, you are some of the strongest people on this fucking planet and I'm so proud of you for not letting it get in the way of your life and not letting it define you
Alexandra McHaffie I have bad periods and all of my female family members have had it on my moms side, and I learned from my mom that if you’re family has had it you have a higher chance of having it. Is that true
Same! I'll tell someone how bad my cramps used to be (on birthcontrol now so I don't have my period at all) and they'll be like "oh yeah, I have bad cramps too". You know, I dont doubt that it feels bad, I really don't - but there is a difference between endometriosis period cramps and normal period cramps. When I was in school and had my period, the first 1-2 days I almost always stayed at home because he cramps where so bad i could barely stand up. A few years ago it even got so bad that I threw up because of the pain. (It was also really hot outside so that could have somehing to do with it too, most likely a combination of pain and being really warm). I've had friends tell me "yeah, I have bad cramps too but then I take naproxen (painkiller for period cramps) and then I'm fine". They don't work for me. I would always take it during my period out of desperation because nothing else worked, and they did work a tiiiny bit but still not enough for me to walk normally.
And yes ofc anyone is allowed to complain about their pain or their anxiety etc. I don't blame people for complaining about shit that is really hard, but there is a different betwen "I'm so sick of -----" and comparing two different levels of pain and essentialy be like "oh its the same".
I have also had friends respond with "I wish I could stay at home too" when I told them I wasnt able to get up to go to school because of my depression.
Nowadays I cant go to school or work because of fibromyalgia, and I have had several people tell me that they'd love to stay home and watch netflix/tv all day too and not having to do things, or even some who'll say "yeah I have a hard time getting up in the morning too but I just force myself".
That's great for yu that you're able to do that, but when you entire body hurts you cant just force yourself to go to school pr work. And it is anything but fun to stay at home all day. I have nevernliked school, but I still miss it- I miss having somehing to go to every day. It is not fun being forced (by your own body) to not do anything but sleep and watch tv. I cant take showers because I cant stand for that long, I cant even stand for 2 minutes while brushing me teeth. I take baths because the hot water helps a little bit wih the pain. I wash ny hair about once a werk because I get so exhausted from it and holding my srms above my head to wash it really hurts. I barely see or talk with friends (they kinda stopped talking with me after the pain got this bad). I can't travel by myself, I can't go to concerts or other events anymore. I can't even be in the same room as someone who is esting because of noise sensitivity. I cant go on walks with my grandma's dog anymore. I cant go ANYWHERE by myself because i cant walk much, I have a wheelchair but I'm not strong enough to wheel myself outside (both because its super hard to do it on asphalt and because I cant even get out of the street where i live without going up a hill (yay for living in Norway where there are hills everywhere) and the pain in my arms get worse when using the wheelchair) I get tired from everything. I can literally lie in bed or on the couch all day and atill need a nap after a few hours because I get exhausted from it. I can sleep for 11 hours and still be more exhausted when waking up than I was when going to bed.
Yes, of course people who don't have it that bad can complain if they struggle. I'm always there for my frienda if they need to talk about something or if they just need to complain for a while. I get it.
But don't compare your struggles to other people's struggles. I have had many friends who will do the whole "oh I have it worde than you" thing. Don't. Just don't.
And don't tell anyone who is forced to stay home all day that you wish you could do the same. Trust me, you don't want this. You don't want an invisible illness that cant be cured. My chronic pain might not be life threatening in any way, but it is life changing. I both wish people would experience this just for a day to know what its like, but I also wouldn't wish this on anyone.
It legit made me tear up when endometriosis was featured. I’m about to go in for my 7th surgery and people think it’s just a bad period
Hang in there, beautiful! 💪🏻💛
Stay strong darling
you are so strong girl hope you're doing great!
I have endo too and my life was put on hold because of it. Sad how the medical field looks at it like that too. Stay strong hun, I know you can get through this and kick that endo in the ass!
@@PoppyUr I have had lower abdomen pain basically every day since my period started, no joke, but any doctor even ever brought up endometriosis as an option.... They just say it might be IBS and hemorroids and that I have to live with it.....I study medicine so I'm quite aware of things going on in the body, I'm not saying it's endometriosis for sure, but I feel like this disease is being ignored by many.... I hope I can become a doctor and help people like us.

I flipped out bc I have borderline personality disorder and when I saw her I felt a connection and I was like does she have borderline and when she was describing it I was like am I overthinking Bc she more seems depressed then she said borderline I jumped up and was like "HOLY SHIT I WAS RIGHT"
I wish her the best. Her response broke my heart.
Jackie Koochembere Same girl. I knew it the second she came out.
Jackie Koochembere I also think the girl at the end he was crying who thinks she has anxiety probably has BPD.
@@chelseygarrett4221 oh true. But I mean she could be right about it being her anxiety tho. I'm not entirely sure I just was diagnosed with bpd in May so I actually mixed up a lot of my anxiety with my bpd so I can never tell anymore.
“People won’t learn if you don’t ask.”
That gave me chills.
As someone who's blind and does not "look disabled" I found this super interesting!
Hi Molly ❤️❤️❤️
Just scrolling through the comments and see the one person I actually religiously follow on TH-cam. Hello queen!
Hey Molly, you always talk about how you're always watching TH-cam so it isn't shocking to see your comment but it's cool to see we watch the same things
♥Molly!!!! ♥
Molly!! I enjoy your videos :)
oh my gosh i started crying when they were all like "you did so good!" and being supportive at the end when she was crying
Me too!! Mostly because that would be exactly me in that situation! This actually made me realize that when I get choked up and start crying in a not necessarily sad situation that its actually anxiety. I know I have anxiety but I never understood why I’d cry in very stressful situations and now I realize its a nervous reaction. As much as Im not glad she had so much anxiety Im glad it helped me learn about me and feel more normal. Other people experience this too its not just me :)
please stop ik🥺

I couldn't stop laughing when she said that
"Are you in pain right now?" i think this was a really good/thoughtful question. Because even if it's an "invisible" disability it doesn't mean that it doesn't affect the person, and you should be aware of that if you're interacting with a person with a disability....or people in general
THIS COMMENT 💖💖💖 yes!! I suffer with numerous invisible chronic illnesses and chronic pain and it means so very much to me to hear that!! Thank you for saying this😭
Raine is freaking amazing... She treats everyone equally & doesn't speak to them any differently just because they have a disability. Such a beautiful person!
I love that they had people with disabilities that are both visible and invisible, especially with mental health. As someone who suffers from anxiety, depression, and bipolar, seeing someone with PTSD and BPD meant a lot. Disabilities aren't always physical and aren't always visible
Kayla Hurd As someone who also struggles with those, I completely agree!
I agree
I also suffer from anxiety, depression, PTSD, and some learning disabilities that effect my social ability and most people don't understand but seeing people be so supportive fills my heart
Kayla Hurd I’m autistic which means I learn social cues differently ( basically if people from 18-35 my age group go to a party I’m the last invitee IF I EVEN GO AT ALL )
I have anxiety, depression, and OCD, and I really appreciated them adding someone with PTSD and BPD
“You’re a pretty crier, how do you manage that?” -this made me incredible happy for some reason.

The the girl who said she had severe anxiety but feels like others have it worse than her I just wanna tell you something- I have experience with that because of my friends. I have a chronic pain and other chronic illnesses and my friends never wanna complain to me when they’re in pain or have a headache because ‘I have it worse than them on a daily basis’. Let me tell you something and EVERYONE else out there who feels that way. Yes, there is always gonna be people out there who have it worse than you, that’s the way it is. Ya know something though? Just because someone has it worse does NOT DIMINISH THE FACT YOU ARE ALSO IN PAIN AND SUFFERING. Just because others are in more pain or maybe deal with more doesn’t mean what you feel and deal with is any less important. You are a human being who deserves to be happy, to be healthy, to be able to talk about when something is bothering you. You are also in pain. It’s not a competition of who allowed complain or talk about it depending on the severity. You are allowed to be in pain and acknowledge it and tell others and complain. Don’t let the fact that others may have it worse make you feel as if your pain and problems are irrelevant because you are human too. One who deserves everything.
Melissa Reynolds This. Yes.
As someone with severe anxiety and vertigo with a brother who has spina bifida I needed to read this.
I know the people above me kinda already said this first but I also REALLY-REALLY needed to hear this!! I’m always the person that feels others pain (emotional & physical), so extremely that I completely ignored my own feelings to the extreme. Well, cut to now & I’m at the point that I myself can barely function any longer because I’ve run myself so ragged for so many years now. I’m actually now beyond panic attacks & anxiety & depression and have pseudo-seizures constantly. It just really helped me to hear what you had written. Thank you for writing what you did!! You truly must be an incredibly amazing person💕!! Thank you...just remember that YOU deserve everything as well, love!!!
Thank you💕
Thank you so much. I wish you all the best. 💚

I would love to see you trying so hard to hold back tics 90% of your waking hours
Pizza most of us can... I have severe TS and I am able to surpress them a lot of the day. No one knew I had TS until I got up and told them. I just hold them back when I need to and get up and walk away to let them out. Many people can do that

I know, I have TS myself. Just pointing out how - for most people - going around holding impulses back all the time is not fine at all.

"I have endometriosis. Do you know what that is."
"No I don't"
"Of course" *office stair*

it is literally a pain in the butt.This is why I back up Planned Parenthood.
"Holy shit you got period in your stomach!" THAT WOMAN NEEDS A TV SHOW
literally her comments had me dying
Take my word it is horrible. 30mg uterus.Ugh. Be glad you're a guy.
Can I just say how wonderful all these people are? I cant imagine half the shit they must go through day to day. That lady with turrets for example is fricken amazing but those ticks she has to put up with must be such a burden in her life. Obviously you get used to them throughout the years but still...damn. I love people. I really do. There's good sometimes in this world people.
Xhoose prerrt sure its tourettes
i have a mild version of tourettes and i cant even imagine how hard it must be to have severe cases bc even the mild one has messed me up
lollyspipoca right! I only have mild tics and they interfere w my life so much I can’t imagine having it vocally also :/ she is a strong woman
I have very severe Tourette’s and I can assure you it’s a tough thing to deal with. I’ve broken bones many times from it too which I can’t stand but it’s more painful mentally and emotionally. People stare and it’s embarrassing. And it’s so uncomfortable to have no control over your brain and body. I cried like a baby when that woman came on and told them.
aside from the physical aspects that affect all of your guys' life that makes it a burden i cannot imagine how often you feel like a burden to others because you are making them uncomfortable and that's super upsetting. when she said along the lines of do i take the pills to make other people uncomfortable or do i not take them and be comfortable really was eye opening.
Endometriosis is more common than you think, many women suffer from this without even knowing that they have it and misinterpreted it as periodcramps.
Blair Underwood my mum has it and doctors thoughts I had it cause I had severe period pains but thankfully I don’t have it👌
Some doctors dont care enough to check properly, and i know that as much as anyone Sad but true eh
I was recently diagnosed. It sucks sm. They only diagnosed me post laparoscopy and it sucks. But I'm gonna be okay
I was fortunate my doctor listened to my and I got it diagnosed quickly. Unfortunately this is not the case for a lot of women. If you feel like your doctor is not listening to you, you know your body better than anyone else. Switch doctors until you get answers!
It took me almost two decades to get diagnosed. I have suffered so so so much. It is really debilitating.
My diagnosis came after a small bowel obstruction and a open exploratory surgery found a mass blocking my intestines. Everybody thought it was cancer, but the pathology came back saying "endometrium like tissue".
After this first surgery I already had two more, a hysterectomy and another resection of my bowel.
I really hope that my life will be better now. But these two decades of excruciating pain have had messed up with my body and mind. I have been diagnosed with migraine and I am also depression.
“Are you in pain?”
“Not physically.”
Summer Hendrix dude when she asked me, that just came out my mouth without thinking LOL
Me!! Not in physically but mentally😂
Lani Nguyen I have Borderline Personality Disorder as well but it is not a disability for me because medication and therapy work so that I am able to go through with daily activities. Yet I can totally relate to you. Even though I am able to go through with my daily activities, if I'm not at work I still want to be alone. I have had symptoms of BPD since I was 10 or 11 and I was not properly diagnosed until I was 20. I only hope for the best for you 💕💕

I am so glad that they actually talked about Endometriosis, because a lot of people don’t know about it and it is a serious condition that thousands of women go through that mostly get mistreated just like I did for many years of chronic pain.
Sofia A i have it too. And I was super lucky and getting it diagnosed when I was 17. It makes me really upset that when women go to doctors and say “I have extremely painful periods” it’s not viewed as a problem. I was lucky and I had my mom in my corner going “no it’s not just painful periods, this isn’t normal”. I am really happy it was mentioned too, cause I still deal with people telling me I’m being dramatic even though I’ve been diagnosed.
Moriah Maxwell I was diagnosed at 12 and my mom was super helpful also. Most people think it’s not as bad as it is and it really makes me upset, because it’s the worst pain I’ve ever felt
yes!!! My mom didn't struggle with it, but most of my great aunts/aunts do and so do both my grandmothers. My mom just thought "oh its just part of being a woman" until I was vomiting, fainting, and missing weeks of school because I couldn't get out of bed. Like the PELVIC PAIN is something else aswell as the migraines etc etc. I got my period at 14, and by the time I was 15 (I'm almost 18) I was on the pill so my symptoms are not present now because I do extended cycles so I only have a period 2-4 times a year. The pill doesn't alleviate the pain, but it made it shorter from 9 to 4/5 days. Thankfully I did not have to do the surgeries because they caught it very early, after I only had maybe 5 periods (?) because I was so irregular. I honestly did not know it was considered a disability. It's nice seeing other women understand it.
exactly. mine is in a very early stage because I caught it early on and I take steps to keep myself from further developing It because my mom had stage four and was in chronic pain 3 out of 4 weeks each month and it almost developed into cancer. mine was getting to be about 2-3 weeks out of the month with symptoms and during my period I was in such intense pain I was severely suicidal and unable to function but I never hear anyone talk about it in chronic pain discussions
honestly when a doctor finally put me on the pill I could've cried. like my mom is pro natural medicine and kind of anti medicine at times and was hesitant to put me on the pill (even tho she went through the same stuff) but like my birth control is an honest to god life-saver (genuinely I think I may have done something drastic with the direction it was heading in)
I appreciate how this includes mental illnesses. I feel like those are overlooked as disabilities constantly. And endometriosis was included as well which is awesome!
I love that endometriosis was featured here. There's so little recognition involved with it and it's frustrating. It could've been explained a little better, but it's been 3 years so I'll give it that. I have endo and I'm just glad to see it anywhere outside of support groups.
I don't have endo but as a teen i am so glad to see different chronic illnesses reconized
You are not alone. I didnt know there were support groups. I am happier with having had a hysterectomy.
you guys are the unproblematic, woke buzzfeed. I am surprised I find myself liking Cut more and more, i have actually learned a lot from your videos and they have opened my mind about drugs, drag and now disabilities. I always have a good laugh and I learn something new. And I also love that you feature allll kinds of people out there
“Woke” 😬
Please dont ever use the word "woke" again, its the shittiest word ever
Sadly not true anymore
I actually burst into tears when the second girl started talking about Endometriosis. It's so rarely acknowledged as a disability but it literally affects every aspect of my life. Thank you so so so much for including this! ❤️
Heather Rose 💛
I feel the same way!! I was literally clapping when she told her disability.
I cheered out loud for our EndoSisters everywhere 😀 and you're so right about the disability aspect SMDH! Love you guys 😘
Any suggestions on treatments?
Gia Barrone I have a suggestion against... lol Zoladex or medically induced menopause was something was not right for me. I'm over a year an a half from my last injection and still having SEVERE hot flushes. Just be sure the consultant has given no other viable options. Waiting to start merina coil life..... Not enthusiastic.... lol coukd be worse! But glad to see after so long I and we are really not alone in this 😗
What I would like people to understand about PTSD: it doesn't just affect veterans, and not all veterans have it. Nearly all domestic abuse survivors and children from abusive households have it, and that accounts for a much larger percentage of PTSD cases. But those cases are underdiagnosed because people--including doctors--don't go to the very obvious diagnosis of PTSD for people who haven't had a trauma that they immediately contextualize with PTSD.
PTSD is often worse than the trauma, mostly because people living with PSTD get treated like shit while reliving the trauma both psychologically and physiologically. It affects the body and the mind.
This is so true, I have PTSD from being kidnapped by my step mother
Yep. I have PTSD from abuse and sexual assault.
Same... from disasters.
I have PTSD from severe bullying in high school where they held a knife to my throat. The amount of time I’ve been told I couldn’t have it because I never went to war is insane. The disease is horrible and being called a liar screws with your head.
Same. I wish people would get that.
I was told multiples times by other kids at school that “ADD and Depression aren’t disabilities” but they walked around every day able to feel happy all day and express emotions and focus easily on whatever they wanted to. It’s hard to understand when you can’t relate.
I understand even though I dont have depression. There was a week I was really hurt in and the whole time trying to forget or ignore what I was annoyed by, but couldnt. It was painful to hold back my tears every minute I remember it. This is absolutely nothing compared to what you or people with depression feel like, but it definitely makes me understand that you are probably experiencing the same thing but have it tougher and more excessive. Stay strong
I get it! Sometimes people will only acknowledge the physical disabilities, but having ADD and anxiety (myself) are just as much a disability. I would say that a disability is something that hinders your daily functioning, so whether it’s physical or mental.
I’m really glad they included both mental and physical disorders to be honest
“ I watch Grey’s Anatomy”. Literally ME whenever something gets a paper cut😂
Flo Russo RIGHT😂😂
Or when someone says their head hurts or something I’m coming up with diagnosis and stuff😂
I just laughed out loud. Literally in he middle of the night.
Flo Russo fr💀💀
ME TOO 😂😂
The dude in the intro was so smooth
*Few seconds later*
"I'm a dating coach"
Makes sense 😂
The girl that started to cry made me cry! I feel you. Anxiety is really hard. I didn't know that endometriosis is considered a disability.
Endometriosis isn’t always considered a disability since it’s severity differs case-by-case. Some people with this disease suffer completely debilitating pain, and others who have it might not even know.
Thank you so much for including someone with Borderline Personality Disorder. I burst into tears as soon as I realized. So much of what she said resonated with me and we get demonized so much... Thank you for showing it in a light that wasn't negative.
I know right!!! I'm a bpd myself, there are even mean websites like don'teverdateagirlwithborderlinepersonalitydisorder.com where guys just bash bpd women by calling them soul sucking women -.-
@@belsrevenge24 wth thats awful!
@@monkeybluecheese i know right!!
@@belsrevenge24 Yay it was removed i think
"Are you in pain?"
"Not physically"
My hearttt!
I woulda given her the biggest hug😭😭
I have POTS(postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) and I could totally tell when the lady with the chair came in. NIce to know our disability is being represented and the awareness is spreading through this channel.
PREACH #potssquad
Yes!! I saw the chair and thought "SHE HAS POTS!!"
same!
Same!!! LOL
Yes!! Same here. It's definitely a hard disability to see from the outside. I tend to push myself too much to keep up because no one ever accommodates me. Its nice to see others making waves in the community though! Get the representation we need!
Raine is an icon. I wish she could be my therapist. Maybe I’d be able to work on my problems instead of hide them.
I don't know why I didn't realize that endometriosis is a disability. It was really validating to see people discussing it without minimizing the suffering. Encourages me to be a little kinder to myself when I'm struggling.
I felt the same way! For me, fatigue has been a debilitating effect of endometriosis. But before I knew what it was, I was basically told I was just depressed and needed to pull myself up by my bootstraps. I think it’s easy to internalize that kind of rhetoric.
Not only is it amazing to see both mental and physical disabilities represented equally, but the way all the people in this video communicate with each other is so respectful and understanding. Without a doubt my favourite line up so far 👏👏❤❤
Laya yes same I found it really heartwarming
I have POTS(postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome too) and it was so cool to hear that someone else has it, because I feel like not many people know about it.
Emma Still yes!!!! I literally have never met anyone who knows about it.
I also have vasovagal syncope and when I say either people just give me a blank stare
Lexi Burns ikr! Syncope has to do with fainting right? I haven’t fainted yet, but I’m scared I might
Emma Still yeah, I used to faint multiple times a day but now that I’m on fludrocortisone and propranolol I’m okay!
Lexi Burns good! I take fludrocortisone too. I also take atenolol and midodrine.
As someone with anxiety and depression, I started crying at the end when she started crying and I totally broke down with the supportive phrases 😭
The dating coach dude was 100% ready to advertise his business lol
Oh man I can't tell if that funny black lady is 7ft tall or if everyone else is just very short
voidz death by snu snu
She is very tall
voidz she is 6ft at the shortest
voidz 6’2” (and from chicago) she mentioned it in an earlier video
Catherine Jones she is way taller then that
The black lady is funny asf
she needs her own series tbh she's great haha!
You be fucking? Lol
Qveen Crimson idk if funny is the right word tho
*I S T H A T R A C I S M I S M E L L*
*sarcasm sign*
ikr I am dying
Rain was so sweet, she really listened to everyone and it showed how she tried to respect everyone in all ways.
Lol, pleasantly surprised and impressed by the Black lady for getting a bunch of these right.
angelmushahf She's a pro-domme so I'm not surprised. It takes a huge amount of ability to read body language and faces to do that job really well, she's got a really good rep in the community so I'm not surprised she's good at it.
angelmushahf Why are you suprised? Why to put your foot in your mouth inbred.
lol at ppl offended by my comment xD
even she was surprised that she got so many of them right. see how she was celebrating? I'm celebrating with her. no disrespect here :)
Nir Alkalay I KNOW
The girl with the glasses was incredible, I loved her
Lineup where everyone is wearing a white T-shirt and they match the person to their outfit!
(They could even have like a drag queen or someone with an alternative style that would be hard to guess)
Kate 42 omg this is actually genius
+
Kate 42 Thats such a good idea!!
This is the most respectful calming Cut episode I have ever seen, the vibes are so calm and comforting I love it so much
When the girl who brought out the chair said she had POTS, I literally burst into tears because I’ve had to deal with it throughout my life and I’ve felt so alone and just seeing someone so open with it and strong made me so hopeful
My sister and I have POTS. You aren’t alone!
Gigi V Stay Strong! You are amazing and you are never alone!
❤️
I have pots and ncs dysautonomia
I have POTS and i was diagnosed with this after MANY, MANY misdiagnosis and when I found this and a few other comments about POTS i was brought to tears bc i was told that POTS is rare and this proves that statement wrong. I am currently going through a trial and error process with medications bc my body won't take to the ones i have tried so far. So i am trying to get people to contact me so we can form some kind of group to talk about it and help others cope with it. So please reply or contact me on my instagram @faithsanchez03 Thank you!
*Holy Shit You Got Period In Your Stomach?!*
Niff That's hell for a girl to go through
Niff oh HELL no
i want someone to say this to me next time i tell them i have endo
Melanie Hollows same😂
My life on the daily #endoprobs
I love that you also showed people with "invisible" disabilities too. I have sickle cell anemia (a blood disorder) and from the outside I look normal but on the inside I live with chronic pain everyday so seeing this made me feel less alone, thank you. 😘💕💙💜
Belive me u are not alone❤ (i have anemia to)
omg i have POTS too and i was hoping to see someone representing me in this video and when the person came out with the chair I started BAWLING because I knew what it was. I seriously in tears right now from just happiness but also mutual pain. thank you for representing me.
Me too!
My heart went out to the girl in the last scene getting anxious. Ive had a lot of anxiety and I felt like that was the most relatable part of this whole video. She was totally outgoing and acting fine but once the attention is on your anxiety you feel anxious. Props to everyone in this video for putting everything out there❤️
As soon as she said abdominal pain I knew it was ENDO
BIG THUMBS UP FOR AWARENESS thankyou CUT
Björk: My name is Björk
Me: *dies*
She can’t pronounce her own name smh
Not every Bjork is a Björk and names can be pronounced in any way a person wants. They're not in the dictionary.
It depends if she spells it with an umlaut or not
This went in a different direction than intended. I only said that because its the same name of my icon, Björk Guðmundsdóttir.
Ps: yes I did copy and paste her last name... I don't have the time.
I laughed way too hard at this because same
The fact I can hear the tics girl trying to hold her tics is just heart breaking🥺🥺🥺
When she (I wish they said her name) came out and rested her knee on a chair I had a huuuge feeling she was narcoleptic, because that's a trait I do quiet often to give myself a few more minutes to stay awake. When she did say she had Narcolepsy I was super excited and nearly started crying because seeing someone else a coping mechanism like that was awesome. Plus I also have a heart condition very similar to hers! My heart rate is just constantly high, very interesting
Awesome video
I don't want to offend but can you explain what you mean when you said resting your knee on a chair keeps you awake a bit longer?
PhantomAmber I can not imagine how it must be to live with such a disability / illness(please do say if you prefer another umbrella term for it).
I have a classmate with narcolepsy who often kind of falls asleep for a second or so in class and a teacher kind of called her out, obviously not knowing about it and she just shyly said "I'm not doing it on purpose".
A lot of people know about epilepsy and take it seriously, but narcolepsy isn't as well known.
Rachel I think?
Its interesting you say that because for me it immediately gave away the MECFS and POTS (i have both) I mostly use a cane and wheelchair but on good days I use this technique a lot.
My hearts the same we actually had to get it tested it was so bad. I went from laying to sitting and my heart was like 134 beats per minute. I need to drink a lot of water because of it and I get headaches quickly.
This was a really nice video.. and as someone who has an "invisible" disability, its really validating and comforting for me. Thanks cut, you're really out here filling us all with love and knowledge.
Allie Marie yep I agree completely. I too have an invisible disability. Everybody gets ill sometimes, but I get ill quite often because of meds that weaken my immunsystem to keep them from destroying my kidneys.
What would you advise people to do to make your experience better? I want to see if I'm doing anything wrong and fix it.
Is it an issue that your disability is invisible or would you prefer that everyone know what it is?
Mandy X'O-twod I think a disadvantage of a invisible disability is that you might get juged as hard as other in sports or at work especially if they don't know that you have that.
On the other hand you might get excluded from things if other do know or they treat you like you are an eggshell or they reduce you to your disability and don't see the personality behind it.
I like that I can decide to some extend whom I tell about my disability.
Mandy X'O-twod
Just be nice to people and if you are unsure how to treat them ask them. I think that is the golden rule no matter who you are talking to.
Mandy X'O-twod be understanding and patient. Ask questions, get educated about it. Communicate, ask that person what you can do to help, example; Some people like to be left alone and some people need comfort etc. Don’t try to save them or fix them. And at the end of the day, just be there for them.
"have you heard of endometriosis"
"no i have not heard of it"
*thick sarcasm* "oh big surprise"
I relate too much to that. (Mine only a 1 in a thousand have it) You can tell shes used to it too because she had a quick explanation shes clearly used to giving. I have Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency and Growth Hormone Deficiency. I've only had two people actually know mine so far... a med student and a professor. I was absolutely shocked, and then teary when the professor understood and I didn't have to fight for understanding and accomodation for my invisible illness. When I'm throwing up due to pain... School and proffessors judging is the last thing I want to be worrying about!
My little brother has Adams Oliver Syndrome which is so rare that it's prevalence is unknown, I've gotten pretty good at explaining it to people who ask but I get so tired of people asking me whats wrong with my brother in a hushed whisper. First of all he's capable of answering for himself, and second theres nothing wrong with him. third I almost want to get "I HAVE A DISABILITY TOO" tattoo on my forehead so maybe people will stop being assholes to my little brother (who given is taller than I am at this point) and pick on someone their own damn size.
Part of me was like "Wow don't get sassy with him for not knowing" and the other half is like "women's issues aren't taken seriously enough to be known by men. If endro was a man's desease, it would be wide known and probably a lot more research and treatments on it."
l know exactly what that is because I have Primary Adrenal Insufficiency! I never met anyone else with it and always had to explain to even doctors what it is unless they're endocrinologists! However, I'm a nurse now and have actually met a few patients with it! We're just rare unicorns is all
I agree! Endo has been found in some men, as well... I haven't read the studies on it myself. And don't forget trans men.
I’m so happy to see BPD being represented and not in a negative light. So many people think of awful things with BPD and forget that we are still human
“how do you know I’m not doing the Bankhead bounce?” LMAOOO
"I like helping people find new jobs" LMAAOOOOOO IM DEAADD
Wasn’t funny.
Im about to cry. I’ve never seen someone else who is orthostatic and im genuinely touched beyond belief. It’s so hard to explain the difficulty of standing or moving quickly (especially when you’re young and told to be active) it really hurts knowing I can’t play all the sports I did due to the stronger presence it has in my life now. I’m so relieved to see another person who shares a few struggles as I do. I need to consider the chair thing too because it’s genius (however it’s hard for me to stay leaning as well) thank you for this video as well as the participants spreading awareness in a safe place, it’s motivating
I have POTS and I feel this on a spiritual level. I recently got a wheelchair for when I want to go for an outing with friends but can't exactly take an actual chair everywhere.
When I saw and heard that POTs part I was so overwhelmed and then coming to the comments section really warmed my heart. Thank you to y’all
karlie jones I have been living with POTS for the past 2 years. Its so good to find other people who share the same rare issue.
TravelSizedGirl Bless you, I feel your pain. Ive been living with POTS for two years and im only 15
If you guys aren't on Twitter, you might wanna consider it ;) The POTSie community there is friggin great. We're amazing, lol. Though we are pretty well intermingled with EDS and MCAS too since most of us have at least one or both of those too. It's SUCH a great place to not feel alone! Come join us! I'm 🔥Hell on Wheels ♿️ over there!
"You're a pretty cryer! How did you manage that?" Don't know why but I burst out laughing.
This was really special and validating. I greatly appreciate everyone for giving us more insight into physical and mental disabilities.
I have tourettes and I could immediately tell that that's what she had cause idk the way she kinda held herself back if that makes sense is the same thing I do when I hold back tics I'm just glad those people knew what it was XD
Daphne Stier same, but I don’t have Tourette’s, I just could kind of tell.
same! i’m so glad they knew what it was
I have Tourette’s too
Btw: I think I have seen this Woman on Kids Meet
I have tourettes too, people around me sense that I'm different, but can't tell until I don't hold back.
It's often really invisible.
I could realate so much, when she said, that it kinda hurts to hold the tics back, 'cause it's really uncomfortable to opress the urge to tic.
same I also have tourette's and I was glad that people could at least recognize it
As someone with anxiety I connected to this right away. Thank you for sharing
Heart shaped hands for love and support
Same here mate ❤❤❤❤
I’ve got mild-moderate endometriosis ( not to the point of cysts but extreme pain) and seeing someone with endometriosis felt so good
The ending guys 😭😭😭 such a strong & sweet cutie ❤️❤️
Oh my god the dating coach was smooth af
Yeah he was in a different video where he talked to some kids about his condition and I saw him in this and I super excited.
“Hello boo....you look stronger than a mofucka” I’m dead 😂😂
Maria Hernandez that chick is fucking awesome!
"Do you feel more in control of it now?"
"No. But you learn to work with it and plan your day accordingly."
As someone who also has (what is likely for him) combat-zome CPTSD, I'm really glad he answered quickly and honestly. It isn't something we can turn off, but at the same time it does NOT imply that we are incompetent or incapable.
overly got excited about the woman w Tourette’s. I have Tourette’s and it’s kind of a running joke on TV and a big misconception that it’s this silly condition that makes people swear. I was like “preach hoe” when she went on about the pain it causes. Lots of people don’t understand that while it’s inconvenient to them , it’s even worse for us who have it.
Ya I have tourette's too and people always tell me they couldn't tell and sometimes I can't tell if its a compliment or theyre trying to say I'm lying😂
Crystal Alvarez Tourette’s is weird because it’s worse some times than others, so when I tell people they think I’m lying because they don’t notice it. I don’t understand why someone would want to lie about having Tourette’s... it’s not fun lol
Sarah Lysiak ya exactly, and I've gotten really good at holding my tics back but obviously I still have them and like I clearly do them so I don't understand why people mention that, maybe they think it will make me feel better?
Janel also did a video about her Tourette's on HiHo kids that was wonderful and informative
Araani M I’ll definitely check that out! Thanks
at the end when that girl started getting emotional about her severe anxiety broke my heart... I have suffered with severe anxiety my entire life and unfortunately as I've gotten older its got a lot worse.... I honestly don't see how she is standing in front of the camera... I am a college student and see students give presentations and I have to ask the teacher to just take points off because if I stand up there I would faint.. Theres no way... I cant even speak to the person next to me without sweating.. Ive never considered it as a disability though but i guess it could be for sure.
Dude that one guy in the wheelchair was hitting on the other girl in the wheelchair so hard haha
Seeing someone else with POTS literally made me cry. It’s so hard, but no one talks about it
Pots squad ❤️ that made me so happy!
The veteran looks short but he’s actually normal size but he’s just wide, built.
He is short

He may be a little short. But Raine (is that the womans name?) is also tall.
Hes buff and his Pants are baggy so he looks short in comparison
@@ashlynnheller8400 her name is rayne, I just saw her comment on a reply under the comment section:)
@@desireandfire
Okay. So my spelling was just off.
The flirting between the 2 people in wheelchairs was really sweet.
I have major respect that they used someone for Tourette’s that isn’t shouting out cuss words. Thank you! People need to see the other side of this disability. ❤️
YES
Seeing someone represented with POTS made me feel SOOOOO good. It’s a disease that very few people understand, along with EDS. More content like this!!
