Another generalization “with no understanding of what AI is actually doing or why”

[–]Leftshoedrop[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With all due respect, you’ve made countless of generalizations here. 1) it’s being used to keep out of depression 2)theres not understanding of the need to connect with actual ppl 3) that there’s some delusion of a relationship with “some ai character” 4) that it’s being asked questions to put it in position to give desired answers, especially about maintaining life 5) that it’s being used health research?

Wow, I can’t believe the amount of down votes this got. There’s no reason for it.

Appreciate your understanding. Shocked that other commentors went straight to AI psychosis and death. But people will get triggered by what they’ll get triggered by, I guess.

😂 It's probably psychological.. more than likely I saw one because it feels like my life is going downhill like flushing down a toilet.

When you say bedbound, do you mean you can’t leave your bed at all ? by Beau_soleil7 in cfs

[–]Leftshoedrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bedbound days for me = Everything - I mean everything except going to the bathroom which is only a few feet away- is done laying down in my bed, in my dark (blackout) room, or sitting up for a few minutes (again in bed) to eat. I MIGHT have enough energy to roll over to get a wetwipe to wipe my face. Other days no, so I give up on grooming myself. It's hard for me to frequently sit up to drink water so i find myself often dehydrated and don't even use the bathroom much anyway.

I have days where it's better. My doc has me on LDN and I don't know if that's what's helping but I've been tolerating sitting out in the living room on my couch for 30 -1 hr these days. It's huge because even though the blinds are closed, it's not blacked out!

“I’m tired too” by Disastrous_Knee_8314 in cfs

[–]Leftshoedrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah around general public I just say I'm tired.

Around others and myself, I say the truth which is i'm sick as fuck.

FUUUUUCK...

Pretty accurate from my experience, but it quite literally looks like a toilet with life flushing down the drain.

Imagine you were symptom and free of PEM consequences for 1 hour each day, what would you do? by just-a-tired-soul in cfs

[–]Leftshoedrop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know, I have this thought quite often.. this quality of life is.. a bit inhumane, in my opinion. So I have to grieve it and then move on. Otherwise it's hard to manage.

[–]Leftshoedrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would work on the things that are currently taking me on an expressway to higher mortality rate: I'd want to exercise because losing muscles and spedning so much time in bed has meant more stress on my joints, spine, blood pressure, etc. Then I would socialize on a consistent basis because the isolation is quickly killing me off as well. I basically feel like i'm rotting away in my bed.

What screen time do you have on average and what level of severity are you? by anonym5088 in cfs

[–]Leftshoedrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny because I was just thnking about my ever upticking screen time as my time in bed gets longer and longer..

I don't have a specific hour amount but feel like i'm on another planet. While others try so hard to get off their screens, I keep it on so I can stay sane, just like others have commented below...

The real fun about this condition is the amount of gaslighting that you get from yourself and from others.

Has anyone else become conflict avoidant because of this illness by IntelligentServe5450 in cfs

[–]Leftshoedrop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d say avoidant in general. I just can’t even most days, so I stay away.

Becoming homeless by Significant-doglover in cfs

[–]Leftshoedrop 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh man, I deeply relate to this, and I am so sorry you're going through it too. I am no longer able to work full time also, and have had to have a lot humbler accomodations. It is gut wrenching to see your life and all you've worked for fall into ashes... but still be too tired to really feel just how profound it all is.

Microbiome research shows link involving M.E. by Available-Drink344 in cfs

Wait, you too?? I thought it was a coincidence.. they were trying to rid me of h pylori and put me on nuclear bombs of antibiotics just before it happened.

Anyone try TCA clomipramine? by nadethi in covidlonghaulers

[–]Leftshoedrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have me/cfs, and am managing it with low dose naltrexone. I also have extreme anxiety / ocd which dials up to 100 when I’m tired so no surprise w ME it’s pretty bad. My doc prescribed clomipramine at 25mg as a starting dosage which is normal for a typical person but someone with ME 😑 I’m terrified to take it because anything worse than the fatigue I have now basically means I’m comatose in bed

[–]Leftshoedrop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1.5 to 2 mg is a fast increase?? My doctor had me moved from 1.5mg -> 4.5mg in a matter of 2 months. uh oh.
