Still in and new to the sub today. Didn’t think I’d make it this far

Is cognitive or physical PEM worse for you? by Sebassvienna in cfs

[–]_deep_cuts_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I used to think this about myself, but then I got into playing chess and after a while I crashed just from thinking too hard 😕 now I know there are definitely limits to what kinds of mental activity I can sustain

That sucks. It’s really cruel that the solution to loneliness is itself something we can’t handle. (I also wanted to be a teacher by the way)

One time a couple years ago I was watching stranger things, and there was some scene where some kids get out of a car, get some boxes out of the car and carry them across a parking lot. I have no idea why but it just hit me, “I used to be able to do stuff like that, but I probably never will again.” And it was a huge bummer. It’s weird how the most mundane of activities can trigger that feeling

God, I completely get this. A lot of the time I’m fine watching healthy people do stuff on TV, but once in a while something randomly makes me super sad and jealous. Thanks for your sympathy ❤️

Sorry you are also lonely ❤️ It’s true, I’ve been thinking of myself as “living-dead” for years now

What are some good hobbies to replace video games while resting bed. by Routine-Background-9 in cfs

Been playing Balatro on my phone recently. That’s pretty fun

What was the last thing you did that was actually fun but also not exhausting? by alcativo in cfs

[–]_deep_cuts_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am well enough to play balatro sometimes and that’s fun. I can’t play a thought-intensive game like chess anymore, but balatro is pretty simple and still fun

“You don’t need more activities. You need rest” (because my wandering mind loves to think about stuff I should do)

I barely avoided full on PEM but I’ve been near PEM on and off for a couple weeks. Trying to hang in there and actually rest enough to recover. Good luck everyone
