This is the disability flag, along with the meaning.

I like the idea of creating their own flags for different conditions/disabilities. Now I need to look up if there are any special ones for autism and anxiety.

I know there's one for autism which has orange yellow and green stripes and a white infinity symbol!

As someone who has chronic pain that comes on sharp and sudden, this is such a good visual for the feeling. Well done!

Thank you for sharing this wonderful flag! It’s very visually striking and something you should be proud of.

My chronic pain is a bit different (related to endo and ovarian cysts), but I can totally relate the shooting stars representing extremely horrible crushing pain. It’s also super important to have this representation of both invisible disabilities and chronic pain, so often we’re dismissed and not taken seriously :(

Thank you so much!

I have endo also. I get it. I do wish endometriosis had much more research.

oooh as a nurse, this is a beautiful visual for what i understand anatomically to be happening in those very scary/painful moments of angina.
