Striving to remove barriers that prevent us from building Vibrant, Diverse, Inclusive, Accessible Communities!
Kit, a TikTok creator known as @moonlit_kit, shares that she lives with conditions including POTS, Hypermobile EDS, and MCAS, and explains what she wishes people understood about her dynamic disability.
Her core point is that a dynamic disability fluctuates in severity and impact—unlike a static disability—so how a person feels and what support they need can change day by day or even hour by hour, making planning hard.
She notes that these changes often invite stigma: People with Disabilities may use a mobility aid one day and not the next, or manage a task one day and struggle the next, yet none of that means the disability is fake; the unpredictability itself is the problem.
Kit adds that uncertainty can bring stress, anxiety, and frustration, and that others sometimes form expectations based on someone’s lower-symptom days; she describes a cycle of feeling better, sliding into imposter syndrome, then flaring and being reminded she is not cured, a reality many commenters say they recognize.
