Need to Vent...

So I went to Disney World a few weeks ago and while there I got the Disability Assistance Card thing they have that allows those with sensory processing disorders to come back to a ride later as opposed to waiting in line for an hour.

So I was telling family about it, proud of how I learned about it and was able to use it so I could ride a lot of rides. Instead of being impressed, or even bored by it, they made fun of me for it and it just made me feel awful.

I recognize that isn’t sounds silly “I got disability help at Disney” but honestly I would not have done much at the parks if I had had to wait forever in line. It just would’ve been too much and I would’ve had to leave by noon due to being overwhelmed. The fact that my siblings kicked me for it made me feel dumb and useless, especially cause I know they’re gonna make fun of me for it behind my back.

My husband said that they just don’t understand the extent of what I deal with so they don’t realize how important this was for me, that they’re just ignorant of the situation and I need to try and let it go. But it really hurts. My family and I have always hassled and teased each other, but they always seem to tease me endlessly about things that are really important to me. It shatters me and my confidence around them and it makes me want to never tell them anything about my life again.

Anyway. Just needed to get this out. Don’t need any sympathy really. I just...need this out of me and my body because I’m just down and depressed and not getting this out will make it even worse.
