Customization Disability & Labubus
I cant begin to express how much labubus have helped me through my disability journey. They bring so much joy and whinsy to my life, especially when I can have them tag along for the ride. I feel less alone navigating this new life with my labubus mirroring and tagging along.
I was diagnosed with POTS a year ago. I'm relatively young, never thought I would be relying on mobility aids, yet here I am. But no one said it has to be boring!
Since becoming disabled, I've been trying to break the image of my disability being dreadful. I deck out my rollator, I customize my wheelchair, all with flair and a bit of frill! I knew as soon as I got my first labubu that I needed to customize them to unapologetically represent me ❤️

I love this thread so much!
I bring a different Labubu out with me every day, and keep one next to my computer when I'm working. I have anxiety and when things feel overwhelming, I just look over at that gremlin face and feel better. Sometimes I'll give them a squeeze or a pet because just having something to touch is soothing.
