Today is a departmental away day, at which I would actually like to be.

Last night was insomnia.

This morning it became rapidly apparent that I was moving slowly enough that I'd be late unless I didn't take the wheelchair, but that that would mean using the provided seating all day which in my current state would wreck me even worse for the rest of the week.

It was also pretty clear that I wasn't up to getting the chair out of the house by myself, and definitely not up to negotiating the underground or buses with it.

So I am still in bed, feeling guilty and also angry at my limitations.

Ugh! Been there, and not had the sense to say 'no can do'. And then suffered for it. So yes, perfectly reasonable to be upset at bendy body for bollixing your day, but plus-points for Kaberett-brain for having the sense to overrule yourself and not go.

Hidden in among all those minds whose attitudes to disability we need to change to implement the Social Model are our own - feeling annoyed is reasonable, feeling guilty has a lot more to do with society forcing expectations of wellness on us (IMO anyway)

Oh snap! On your second paragraph! It's vital to recognize that societal-wide nonsense affects us inside & out!
