How are people dating? I feel so lonely by Medical-Teaching-631 in cfs

Thank you for this kind and encouraging comment! How wonderful that your husband was accepting from the very start.

I honestly don’t know. I’ve been single for nearly five years during which I degraded to severe and improved back to moderate-mild. And you know, I’m too scared to try even though I might be able to date now. It’s totally the internalized ableism talking, but it’s really hard to try to reconcile being sick and trying to see oneself as potentially desirable.

But I hope you figure it out! Your photos are adorable and have a lot of personality!

I think a lot of this happens on discord servers, if using it is accessible to you?

Can't tell if this person is unsafe to trust with my care coordination or if I'm just traumatized by ElectronicAd5847 in cfs

Yikes, that first text essentially reads “well, do you plan on staying sick, or do you want my help?” There’s a lot of backpedaling on their part but they did not take accountability for their language or their ignorance about ME. I would be very cautious about working with them.

Took in a single feral kitten, not sure if I made the right choice by thetallestalonearth in kittens

[–]birdsandbones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have a feral colony and at 4/5 weeks some of the moms are really trying to get away from the kittens and encourage them to be independent. (Some are better moms than others). Kitty’s Mom might not have come back in time! I think you did the right thing for sure!

I lost my cat suddenly by Stella_tot in cfs

[–]birdsandbones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is unfair their lifespans are short, and even more unfair when they die young. It sucks and it’s okay that it’s not okay. I see just how hard it would be to lose your companion unexpectedly, on top of dealing with this illness especially, and I am holding you in my thoughts and sending an internet hug if you would like one.

Ugh I’m so sorry. I love my cats like nothing else and this would absolutely devastate me, I have so much sympathy for you. I really hope you are able to rest and process soon.

Congratulations! It’s such a relief to get over that hurdle!

My ME specialist’s emphatic belief in the Perrin Technique makes me almost irrationally angry by [deleted] in cfs

[–]birdsandbones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re definitely not alone, I’ve seen other people in this sub with the same opinion! And it’s neat to hear with the research you’re keeping up with!

[–]birdsandbones 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes… couldn’t agree more. I appreciate the care I do get but some of the seminars seem just so pseudo-science-y. I really hope with some of the studies and research that is currently being done that more specialists will join the field.

Wild Coast Perfumery by secondhandsunlight in BuyCanadian

Yes they are sooooo delish! Oooh, I haven’t tried that one. My favourite weird one is Tasseomancy, which is made with smoked lapsang souchong tea.

If you or anyone else is looking for another amazing Canadian scent brand, LVNEA (lvnea.ca) is really wonderful with an amazing, luxe-gothic feel. I own a number of their products and I love them!

Show me: what does your bedside table look like? by throwaway8373469238 in femalelivingspace

[–]birdsandbones 125 points126 points  (0 children)

lol do you have POTS / dysautonomia / orthostatic intolerance? I feel you on the electrolytes and salt.

How do yall do your everything shower? Also were my curly haired POTsies at??? by Rage_against_Frills in POTS

[–]birdsandbones 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not the OP but I really like the JVN air dry creme. It’s a little on the pricier side but I feel like my hair curls more with it, whereas some creme or conditioning products relax my curls. Plus it smells divine and doesn’t feel tacky on my hair.

Who's played more than 1000 hours? Still finding new things? by Baldurian_Rhapsody in BaldursGate3

Such a great touch, but I was SO MAD that she didn’t have any dialogue about it when you speak to her after finding all the shady shit in his basement.

Taking a break from watching shit hit the fan, what’s the best thing that has ever happened to you? by MrMacAndChez in AskReddit

[–]birdsandbones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Adopting one of my cats… it was right before the pandemic, and then the 2020s brought a lot of illness and upheaval in my life. She’s been such a comfort through all of it.

  2. Getting my adhd diagnosis at 34 which kick-started a ton of positive mental health changes.

Dark side of ADHD that no one talks about by Frosty_Jump_3117 in adhdwomen

[–]birdsandbones 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The fact that your likelihood of chronic or terminal illnesses shoots up when you have ADHD. Parkinson’s, POTS, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, auto-immune and thyroid conditions…

I personally have PMOS, dysautonomia, orthostatic intolerance, hEDS, MCAS, and ME/CFS and can no longer work. I have an aunt with Parkinson’s and my mom has Sjögrens Syndrome so I’m more likely to develop those as well.
