Casual ableism (i think?) is my university’s self-certification system having around 10 physical illness options to choose when calling in sick, but only 1 option for any other kind of illness, titled simply, “mental health.”

Casual internalised ableism is me lying on that form repeatedly that I had menstrual pains, a migraine or the flu, because with mild depression I didn’t feel worthy of ticking the same box that someone with, for example, acute schizophrenia, would tick.
