In the daily life of people with disabilities, fatigue is always present.
The mental overload generated by eternal sudden adaptation consumes us deeply.
We live bombarded with prodding, harassment, offers, charges, and a constant load of information. We balance our responses among the myriad demands that surround us as we try to include activities that benefit us.
It is the dynamics of the modern world, the restlessness that accompanies humanity, the balance modified from time to time, but which continues.
In the daily life of people with disabilities, fatigue has always been present. Not because there are shortcomings, even if living with conditions that make us different is an added component. It’s the need to react or to support those who can’t do it alone. The atypical life has specific needs.
There are physical causes for exhaustion, the result of motor effort, the use of energy for movement. And you know how it feels. There can be pleasure in this tiredness, not specific to people with disabilities, but exhausting on another scale in atypical reality.
We need to strategically manage, if possible, all the impositions on a different existence, especially when there is a lack of help mechanisms, accessibility resources, when we are forced to face discrimination, prejudice and ability even among those closest to us.
It is usually not noticed by those unfamiliar with the atypical routine, but what wears us out much more aggressively is the frequent need to improvise, to create instant solutions to break down barriers that should have already been destroyed. The mental overload generated by this eternal sudden adaptation consumes us deeply.
What really drains us are the exclusions.
