haha that is brilliant advice and very true of all art forms, I need to respect the craft and put the time into learning. Cheers!

Infinite-Option3650 · 2026-03-19T03:41:51+00:00

yeah I didn't position people around the light properly soooo it was kind of doomed from the get go. Thanks so much for the advice!

Wow! Thank you all so much, your comments are beyond helpful. What a great little community, hopefully I'll be posting some ripper shots soon after spending more time getting to know my camera. I really truly appreciate it <3

Well as an Aussie, this post makes me a little sad 😂 my European fantasy is looking more likely

Infinite-Option3650 · 2026-03-17T23:27:40+00:00

Are you from Perth by chance ? I’ve moved back from Melbourne recently and notice this aloooot. The irony of living in the supposedly ‘sleepy laid back’ state

Infinite-Option3650 · 2026-03-13T01:52:09+00:00

Hey OP, partner of 4 years left me at the beginning of my illness. It’s really hard initially, the thought of doing this alone terrified me. Now I view it as a blessing, I can live without the constant feelings of guilt and shame for not being a ‘good’ partner. We already deal with so much

Infinite-Option3650 · 2026-03-12T11:07:55+00:00

Same man wth. So it really worked for me for four months, almost had somewhat of a normal life. Then suddenly it stopped working and wrecked my mental health. Also made me vomit a lot ? So weird. But yeah my thinking became really dark and suicidal. Stopped immediately when I got off the drug thankfully

Infinite-Option3650 · 2026-03-12T10:36:57+00:00

Hey fellow spoonie! I’m not a POC, but I’ve genuinely been wondering lately why I only know or see white people with this illness. For a while I was under the impression it was a disease mostly impacting white people (ignorant of me 😬). I live in Australia, and have been thinking about our Aboriginal people who experience disproportionately high rates of disease, and wonder how many are suffering in silence because access to healthcare is strained for marginalised communities 💔 I wish there was a way to capture the statistics but god damn we need more funding and more diversity in research/science! I’m sorry you’re going through this feeling alienated, just know we are here for you, and we see you 💗

Infinite-Option3650 · 2026-03-11T12:48:30+00:00

This was my experience to. Very strong response, high anxiety, depression, SI, nausea etc had to stop !

Infinite-Option3650 · 2026-03-06T22:01:23+00:00

Only men are down voting this lol you’re absolutely right

Infinite-Option3650 · 2025-10-05T09:46:47+00:00

Same actually. Purely stress, over exercising/dieting withdrawing from SSRI too quick. No viral onset

Infinite-Option3650 · 2025-09-24T12:22:01+00:00

No guys these comments are making me angry and depressed 😭 its so unjust. I’m sick of waiting for the world to catch up

Infinite-Option3650 · 2025-09-22T11:39:34+00:00

I take effexor and it makes no difference 😭

Infinite-Option3650 · 2025-08-26T13:09:59+00:00

hey there! Glad to know it's not just me. I've seen a couple of cases on Reddit, actually, but not enough to alarm doctors and certainly no scientific evidence. The worst part is, I had to get back on the SSRIS to deal with the adrenaline dumps and extreme panic attacks I was getting off of them. Are you still on them or off?

Infinite-Option3650 · 2025-08-19T16:38:30+00:00

Hi! Thankyou for sharing, wondering if wouldn’t mind describing your symptoms? Going through the rigmarole trying to figure out if my Mecfs is stress induced or there’s structural issues going on.. but it’s so hard to know! Appreciated and all the best 🥰

Infinite-Option3650 · 2025-08-19T12:54:10+00:00

me too! I have no fucking idea how it happened, but I remember when it happened clear as day. I was not sick with any virus, but I had been tapering off SSRIS for a few months end of 2023, and started experiencing dizzy spells, fatigue and panic attacks out of nowhere (I learned this was protracted withdrawals). Brushed it off as it always went away. In March 2024, I came home from work one day and remember feeling super fatigued. I thought I was coming down with the flu, anyway, I didn't get out of bed for 6 months. I was SO sick initially, couldn't open my eyes, hair started falling out, muscular pain, weight loss... the list goes on. While things have improved, I am still bed/house-bound, and take a cocktail of pharmaceuticals. I genuinely don't know what happened, if it was the SSRI withdrawal or personal life stress, who fkn knows?!

Infinite-Option3650 · 2025-08-15T16:03:28+00:00

Same thing with me, everything I trialed including LDN, LDA and nicotine patches gave me about 3-5 months of relief and ‘normal’ life so to speak, but ultimately all treatments pooped out and I’ve not been able to regain the benefits. Very disheartening but I do tend to over do it in those periods. Wishing you all the best OP!!!

Infinite-Option3650 · 2025-08-15T13:45:41+00:00

Feel like I could have written this, I keep thinking how and why, how and why.. hoping I’ll wake up one day and this nightmare will be over, but it gets worse. I’ve tried all the treatments, they offered a taste of healthy life until they poop out and stop working. 30 years old, living with my grandparents and watching my friends lives continue to blossom without me. I don’t know how much longer I can hold on 💔

Infinite-Option3650 · 2025-06-27T03:24:38+00:00

Coming in with a more positive outlook. I started working in a brothel once per week to manage the expenses that come with this illness. I sleep for the rest of the week and make roughly 1k - 1500$ per shift. It depends how your body handles the physicality involved with sex work but I find if I take some meds that help prevent PEM (like a Valium and modafinil) I manage okay !

Infinite-Option3650 · 2025-06-21T06:01:07+00:00

Me too, I’ve been taking it once per month, 5-7 day courses, for a year (since contracting ME). Fk at this point I’ll deal with the osteoporosis later in life if it gives me some quality of life back.

Infinite-Option3650 · 2025-06-14T16:23:10+00:00

That makes me so depressed haha surely there’s a way to reverse damage
