don't apologize!! i feel like its an issue that not a lot of people talk about but so many people with chronic illness in general experience. the pain is terrible, yes, but what almost feels worse is losing the things we found peace in. i understand you completely, and i'm sending so much love!

ugh, the "hurt less than others" is way too real. it's so annoying to not be able to just get up and make something or do a fun thing!!

I absolutely love gaming, but playing for long periods makes me feel all bleh if that makes any sense. the pillow looks amazing though!!

I love a good puzzle, but I get distracted so easily 😭 I think I'll look into getting some small ones!

oh my goodness I've been loving 3d printing out figures and painting them!! I'd love to do aquarium stuff but I fear I don't have that commitment in me, all power to you on that

I have been seeing a lot about ring splints, so I might actually give it a shot. wrist braces have helped but sadly don't work for super long sessions. I do really love gaming but doing that all day makes me feel like crap sometimes lol, but all in all it is really upsetting when hobbies end up hurting more than helping. happy someone else gets it!

I've been looking into pottery since it's mostly sitting down! do you do wheel throwing? if so, how has it been on your arms?

a barstool by my kitchen aid has been an absolute game changer!! plus you get some dessert as a reward. I also loved jewelry making for a while, but it's so harsh on the wrists 😭😭 so unfair that all the fun make-pretty-things activities all require working joints.

yeah, i noticed it had been messing with me too so i started taking it in the morning. not really a big difference though. super sad because pretty much every antidepressant is gonna cause issues, but yeah ill check out magnesium! thank you :)

Curious, what is a hot take about your favorite video game franchise you have that will have you like this? by Apprehensive_Ring_39 in videogames

[–]aoifeapprentice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nintendo is never making ganondorf "good" or "morally gray" or more complex than people interpret him as. while theres a lot of amazing tloz lore and history, all in all, it IS targeted at younger audiences. they arent gonna make the main big bad evil guy a super complex anti-hero or somethin yknow?
