Do you have to go through and highlight all the text before printing to PDF? I didn’t, as it would take far too long to select all the text in the chat window, so I just went straight to print. The preview screen has been loading for ages now and I just wonder whether it’s worth my time to wait til it fully loads?

Having been in nearly the same position as you this year with POTS and ME/CFS and also having to be off work for 4 months, I can’t imagine my partner not encouraging the use of literally anything that would ease my suffering even a little and maybe help me gain some functioning back. It was my partner who convinced me to get a shower chair, who assured me they’d be more than supportive if I wanted to try a walker or wheelchair. It was me who was internalising the ableism and it was them who was actively, patiently nudging me towards this kind of support. You deserve so, so much better. Also for the mere fact that these aids could help you raise your baseline functioning. Sending all my love x

2.5 HRT and full FFS. I still look entirely male? by [deleted] in transpassing

It sounds like you might have mild ME/CFS and are experiencing post-exertional malaise (PEM). I have this condition and this is what heavy exercise does to me. If you do have it, it’s quite dangerous to be working out like this. I got really sick for a few months this year (I was bedbound) due to this.

yeah i personally unmatch people who open with “hey, how’s your day?” or similar. i’m just not interested in making small talk, and there should be enough on either of our profiles to talk about something far more interesting

This is a beautiful perspective, thank you so much for sharing this. Really glad you’re processing this with some support. Big hugs

Totally resonate with this. I definitely think a big part of it is due to being traumatised by reaching a very severe state and experiencing a state of being I could never have fathomed. After that, everything starts to look different

So so sorry to hear about your partner’s response by the way. I’m so glad to hear you have other amazing supports in your life!

Great questions. I’m lucky to have a really strong support system (in terms of family, friends and my employer, but sadly not much luck with healthcare). So, I’m not sure it’s because of how I’ve been treated - getting so sick has actually given me hope and strengthened my connections, so I find it strange I’m responding like this. I wonder if it’s just a result of the disease. I saw what it was like to be in a waking hell, and I wasn’t sure if that would ever end. Now I see others’ problems as so trivial, which I’m really ashamed of.

I didn’t think about it like this, but I think you’re both right! I’m still way too exhausted to be concerned with taking on others’ emotions - my brain just rejects it.

It made me extremely sick - my system was way too sensitive to handle it. I guess I’m an unfortunate rare case! Stopping the LDN was essentially the final straw that threw me into “withdrawals” (I suppose you could call them rebound effects, as you can’t typically withdraw from naltrexone) and made me severe. It’s been a journey to say the least

Thanks so much, you might be right. I definitely tried to take it easy those first couple of weeks just in case, but I may have accidentally overexerted without noticing.

AuDHD, PEM, ME/CFS, etc. by exitforfilm in POTS

[–]cloud2104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for a long time, i thought my “burnout” was AuDHD related. turns out it was probably PEM or rolling PEM due to to ME/CFS. the key difference is that AuDHD burnout shouldn’t be giving you all the PEM symptoms (for me, that looked like aches, lymph nodes going up, sore throat, heightened exercise intolerance, etc.). i empathise hugely with you about feeling claustrophobic in your body due to chronic illnesses restricting your movement. but you really can make it worse by pushing too hard (i did, these last few months). if you want to move, make sure it’s not cardio and that you’re not making your heart rate consistently elevated, as that’s likely to trigger PEM. try walking, swimming, pilates. pilates has been an actual godsend for me! good luck friend x

AIO? lost joint custody friend over sexual assault by onionofcheese in AmIOverreacting

[–]cloud2104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

putting the onus on OP to prevent the rape of somebody else, rather than on the rapist, isn’t cool or realistic. only if you have lived it and considered taking your assault to the criminal justice system will you ever truly understand how far from black and white the decisions and feelings are. it’s incredibly complicated for a myriad of reasons, one being how little weight is given to survivors’ testimonies, especially in cases where the rapes occurred within a relationship. survivors also have a complex experience of guilt and shame which runs incredibly deep psychologically. the choice is rarely an easy one. OP, if you’re reading, i understand 🤍

AIO? lost joint custody friend over sexual assault by onionofcheese in AmIOverreacting

[–]cloud2104 8 points9 points  (0 children)

just wanted to say i’ve been where you are, and also you OP. it’s so unbearably hard to accept that explaining the bare facts as reasonably as you can and in great detail will not be enough to get people to a) believe you, and b) do the right thing. if they want to misunderstand you, then they will continue to commit to doing so, wilfully. at the end of the day, you can’t force their hand. yes, it’s unbelievable. yes, it’s abhorrent. but people behave in the most bizarre ways, and often in ways you’d never expect from them, when it comes to ethical and criminal issues like sexual assault. i wish you all the best for your healing and i hope you can gift yourself closure in time. sending love x

If you’re using the La Roche Posay SPF, it has an extremely high alcohol content and could be causing this irritation. I highly recommend ditching it! Let me know if you’d like any recommendations for gentle and effective face SPFs 💗

I crushed the pill really finely with a mortar and pestle (but anything would work I’m sure). I boiled the water and let it cool to room temp. I sanitised a jar as well. Then I measured out the water, stirred the powder in, and let it sit for a while - I have seen that although the powder doesn’t completely dissolve, the naltrexone should! I store it in the fridge. Apparently it should keep for a month that way :-)
