I'm 24 and have chronic back
pain. Never Underestimate A Mom Who Loves Baking And Was Born In November shirt I will dash straight for an open seat and grab it even if running hurts
because I'm usually traveling nearly the full length of the line and sitting is
important.I've had people get sassy and tell me to give up my seat on a few
occasions, even pointing out me dashing to get the seat. They don't ever seem
to care that trying to balance myself on a moving train is way harder and more
painful than running a few steps. Fibro is such a hard one for situations like
these. People look at you like there’s nothing wrong with you as if you’re a liar
and just want their seat. Even if you explain it they often don’t understand. I
think London Transport provides badges (pins in American) that advertise the
fact that you have an unstated condition that means you would prefer to travel
seated. Also for pregnant women.i know you're joking, but that's why you always
ask if people need help - don't just start helping, assuming they need help
just because they're disabled or old, that can be very dehumanizing.
