Chronically Ill & Disabled Writing Prompts for Self Exploration

• How does my illness/disability make me appear to the world?  What issues and strengths?
• What am I on the outside?  What am I on the inside?
• How can my experience relate to others who are in a completely different situation as me?  How is it different?
• How does other people's pity affect you?  How does it feel?  What is the best way to respond to pity?
• How can I present my illness/disability to others on my terms?  As an asset or advantage?
• How does disabled grief present it self to me?  How does it feel? How does it appear to others?  Do other see this side of me?
  
• What is the side of me that others never see?  Am I purposefully keeping it from others?  Is it healthy that others don't see it, or an advantage?  
  
• Why is my voice important?  Why should others care?
