Tell me a nice story when someone tried to help

I was vomiting from my rare non diabetic hypoglycemia one day at random so my husband who never cooks cooked breakfast and made me some stomach soothing tea and gave me a kiss while I napped more after which helped me feel better

Once I went to the hospital and there was a little girl she’s the sweetest, I was there and I felt kind of lonely and I mean she didn’t physically help me but she helped me emotionally, because as a disabled person I’m struggling and sometimes my mental health is sometimes bad and the girl she came to me and she was like showing me to her mom and she was like look at her mom she looks like a princess and she was also a cancer patient and I was like you’re so pretty and she was like you’re like me because I also used to have cancer but now I recovered from it but I still have really short hair, and we started to hug each other and her mom was happy, she felt like a little sister to me

Yesterday I was cooking for an afterschool group I'M IN. i started ticcing and getting food everywhere, and it was really overwhelming. My friend helped calm me down and told me I could take a break, taking over with the cooking and making sure I was ok :))

A lot of my teachers know about my autistic traits (not diagnosed, never mentioned to them) and will make alternate lesson plans for me when something involves group work or might be overestimulating. A lot of them also ask genuine questions about my medical conditions and try to make things accessible for me. My world history teacher also has hip dysplasia and will check in on me on difficult days.

Oh I know! When I was too overwhelmed to finish the math I had which was due the next day so I put my head down and started crying (no one saw) and my teacher who doesn't know about the suspected autism erased where I put "idk" and told me it was okay and I could finish later.

That really sucks. Hope you don't have them again.

Our partner gets us to lay down when we show signs of our seizures or when our orthostatic intolerance kicks in and they completely are the only person in the school who knows we have DID so they help in that way

Today in class I was with my lab partner doing work. My arms stopped working, and I could not move them at all for 5 minutes. However, me and my partner simply kept working on the sheet we had been given and he wrote down our answers on my sheet for me

#

He just acted like it was nothing out of the ordinary and I really appreciated that

The first time I met my "now best friend" was after waking up from a seizure. I had a somewhat long one. But when I woke up, there was this girl sitting above me and holding my hand. When I was only "mid-aware"; I got freaked out because yk some random girl was holding my hand and talking to me in a soft voice. But then, she explained to me what happened, and she told me that she knew what to do because her mom also had seizures. Then after 10-15 mins, I was more into the swing of things and we chatted. And then from there on we were best friends.

One of my friends was with me when I was having ||bad tremors|| and pressure usually helps so they just sat on my legs (we were sitting on the floor lmao) and kept joking around with me. It was really nice bc im always worried about being pitied and stuff- like that moment where ppl see you upset and then think you're basically glass, but they just asked how they could help and didn't act any different. They mean a lot to me :)) (Also, I'm still trying to figure out what words/phrases I should be blocking out, so if there's anything I should cover up please lmk!)

I got two:

  1. my college and uni tutors allowed/allow me to offload onto them when stuffs happening and I’m getting really stressed about things (they knew/know most of my conditions)
  2. I was in my wheelchair trying to get back from the city centre to my flat (not too far, but far enough to make me tired). I was huffing and puffing and kept stopping. Until this one guy came up from behind me and said “are you ok?” I explained that I was just tired and my arms hurt. He then asked where I was going. I said the train station (it’s close to my flat, and everyone knows where it is) and he was about to push me into it, when I explained that it was fine, he could just leave me and I’ll finish of the little way I have. He then asked where exactly I was going, and he took me all the way to inside the front door of my block of flats (and it was helpful as the front door has a lip which I couldn’t easily get my wheelchair over). I cried and said he was the first person ever to ask if I was ok, and I had been into the city centre multiple times. And he said “I apologise on behalf of the population” 🥺🥺

Sometimes we go legally - completely blind temporarily and our irl platonic partner helps us. they also lie down with us when we feel faint. They're the best.
