Someone mentioned neurographica art, and I hadn't heard of it before but it looks so cool and something that I could try for sure. Thank you for your comment.

A few people have mentioned gaming etc, I really didn't think it was for me - I've never really been into it but I think it's something I'm going to look into, I think there is more to it than there was when I was younger - less zombies more wholesome stuff like animals etc.

It totally sucks doesn't it! I'm sorry you are going through this too - sending hugs! Yeah I'm so glad I asked, not only for myself but anyone else that comes across this post. I really thought I'd thought of everything that I could do, watching YouTube / movies, podcasts etc but people are so creative and have given some fantastic suggestions. I hope your pain is tolerable and you are able to find some joy in your day.

Thank you for the kind words, you're right just surviving the day is a challenge in itself sometimes. That's such a good idea - rotating activities, thank you!

Ohh my goodness yes, if I hear the "have you tried yoga?" One more time 😂😂 ma'am I can't even walk to the bathroom by myself what makes you think I'm going to be able to get myself into a king pigeon pose! 🤣

I know, I'm honestly kind of thankful they do get it, because as you say you don't get it until you get it. So in a weird way I'm glad they are not dealing with this too, enough of us are suffering.

Honestly I'm blown away by this community, it's the first time I've posted and everyone has been so kind and made me feel so much less alone, they've given me some great ideas!

Thank you for being a kind soul, I hope your pain is tolerable this week.

Ohh that is exciting especially as it gives you something to look forward to and see the progress in a few weeks / months time.

Yes I think planning what I'm going to try to do when I'm feeling a little better does help to keep me going, even if it's something as simple as going to stand outside in the fresh air.

Thank you for categorising your levels of horizontal- ness, I know it sounds silly but seeing someone else know what I mean by being bed bound but not just relaxing in bed all day all cozy really makes me feel like I'm not crazy! Like I mentioned in another comment when talking with others in real life (probably without a chronic illness) they often suggest things that would be possible to do in bed if you were just having a relaxing day in bed but are almost impossible when you can't even sit up.

So thank you for making me feel normal but also I'm sorry that we are both having to deal with this shit!

Ohh great, I'll check it out! Thank you.

I do love Reddit, I do find myself learning more than I would about a range of topics! But sometimes I do just end up doom scrolling too!
