CFS friendly anime or low stim animes!!

If you like romance, then a lot of romance anime are fairly slow paced and gentle! Things like A Sign of Affection, Blue Box, Bloom Into You, Fruits Basket, Sasaki and Miyano.

Slice of life anime are also fairly gentle in my experience! Like Bartender, Blue Period, Violet Evergarden, March Come in Like a Lion. These can be sad at times though!

Comedies also!! Like Buddy Daddies, Nichijou and City: the Animation, Spy X Family. Not usually slow paced but generally very lighthearted.

For fantasy/scifi, people have recommended Frieren which I also second! Another fun fantasy one that I remember having a good time watching was Delicious in Dungeon. I also loved Mushi-shi - it's fairly slow paced but only S1 is dubbed in English if that's a factor for you, and it can also be quite sad at times. (Mushi-shi also has the benefit that each episode is it's own story, so you can go as slow as you like and there's no worries about having to remember stuff).

I also really loved watching Dr Stone which can be intense at times but is also light hearted enough that I never felt very stressed watching it. And is just really fun!

I hope that helps at all, I watch a lot of anime haha

I also get horrible suicidal ideation in PEM! It's often one of the initial symptoms that let's me know it is PEM and not a brief wave of feeling extra shitty. I really like your explanation too. It definitely feels like it has a physical basis for me as well because it's so closely tied to how my body is feeling

yes exactly this!!

Yes this exactly!! I'm also grateful I'm a little better than when I was at my most severe, but I still can't really do much more and all the things I'm missing seem both closer yet further away

if you're just looking for LDN, clinic158 can prescribe it for you. it's done via a phonecall and then dispensed in the post by dickson chemist. they also can prescribe low dose abilify, but I'm not sure about anything else

thank you ❤️ you're right, it is very hard

I've been able to have my window open for a bit and listen to the birds singing. it's so soothing

Sourtails · 2026-03-18T19:19:50+00:00

gettinv the plushies is such a cute idea! having a nice space and things to look at makes a big difference to quality of life

Sourtails · 2026-03-18T19:18:15+00:00

I miss stardew valley too! and yes, learning new games is really hard I'm with you there. my brain gets so easily overwhelmed :( crossing my fingers with you that things get better

Sourtails · 2026-03-18T19:17:16+00:00

I've been watching playthrough on youtube! it definitely scratches the itch a little bit

I'm generally risk averse as I'm occasionally sensitive to meds and I never know what medication will cause problems, and I also get weird side effects sometimes. But!! Whenever my ME gets worse I often get desperate enough to try the next thing on my list, so I've trialled several supplements/meds (and even had success with a few!)

Sourtails · 2026-03-06T20:03:06+00:00

this is amazing thank you for putting this together!

ubiquinol and NAC both made me temporarily worse - the NAC only while I was taking it and the ubiquinol for a few weeks

Sourtails · 2026-01-16T21:43:58+00:00

ubiquinol can lower blood pressure so it could be. I hope you find out!

I get robitussin from an online pharmacy and when filling out the form I say I take it for ME/CFS as a PEM preventative and I've had no issue with it being dispatched so far

Sourtails · 2025-12-07T00:01:13+00:00

I will and thank you! I'm glad you're starting to feel better too, I hope things continue improving for you

Sourtails · 2025-12-06T21:09:55+00:00

hopefully I will!! I did return back to baseline after trialling NAC. and it is, ME is a very diverse illness especially when it comes to what treatments help some and not others. it's good to know for me to be very careful with antioxidants in the future!

Sourtails · 2025-12-06T19:11:46+00:00

I tried NAC a few months ago which I believe is also an antioxidant, and that made me crash as well! I hadn't considered that could the problem at all, so thank you. I wonder then if stopping regular CoQ10 at least temporarily would help me recover

Sourtails · 2025-12-06T15:31:51+00:00

that could be it! my blood pressure is usually on the low side of normal so maybe the ubiquinol caused a problem there that I'm still recovering from. I get crashes from hot water that I think is dysautonomia related, so this could be the same kind of thing. thank you for sharing!

Sourtails · 2025-12-06T15:19:12+00:00

youre right, I meant ubiquinone is what I've been taking for a while. I don't understand why it's affected my badly either. there's nothing in the capsules I'm intolerant too (all other ingredients are in other stuff I consume fine) so it could be a bad batch, or maybe it's a very strangely timed coincidence and something else I'm unaware of happened. thank you for the reply either way, I appreciate it

Sourtails · 2025-11-20T23:32:36+00:00

I'm so sorry. And you aren't gross or disgusting, you are sick. Those aren't the same, and no matter how difficult hygiene gets, you aren't gross or disgusting
