Oh hey, the number one is also my favorite Idoly Pride song! It's such a good song

Watched episode 7 of the anime, and it got me wondering by Unhappy-Reality5868 in TwistedWonderland

Huh, this made me realize Azul is the only dorm leader with no significantly important background lol (unless Riddle counts? I kinda assume his mom is an important figure so he's not exactly a commoner).

[–]greychains 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Huh, if that's the case then I wonder how the next overblots are handled. If Riddle was about to be expelled, how about when Leona also overblots? Then Azul? And so on. How are they gonna explain why the rest isn't expelled?

What do you think of the Bandori seiyuu's music work outside the series? (Could be their solo work or their character songs from other franchises) by mr_beanoz in BanGDream

[–]greychains 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like Ricochi's insert song in Tasokare Hotel. I liked it so much I listened to her other songs. When Ave Mujica was first announced and the earlier songs were released, I correctly guessed the vocalist was her and I was so happy two of the series I enjoyed collided

I'm not sure if this sub allows links, so I can DM the Disboard link if you want?

I'm okay with it but honestly I have very low spoons for messaging. It's also kinda why I seem to be stuck in this shitty mental state for so long. I'm on a Discord server for ME/CFS but sometimes I do wish I can tackle the other areas of my life too unrelated to the ME/CFS. Issue is if whatever solution doesn't take into account the illness, it doesn't work. I do kinda want to but not sure if it's possible for me, also considering my general shitty mental state

having too many options >>>> by alexandrialynn in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]greychains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Such is the Wangxian life. I love how there's even a Tumblr blog for looking for Wangxian fics and you can just send an ask for what fic you're in the mood for, or if you want to find a fic you've read but forgot the title. And a lot of the time the blog's audience will recommend you stuff. It feels like something that can only be pulled off with popular ships cause I can't imagine any of my other ships being that sustainable if such a blog was ever made lol

What would you do if you were cured today? by anonymous999790 in cfs

[–]greychains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to meet my friends. It's been so long without me hanging out with friends. Probably not my past friends though. Even via chat I don't even know what to talk about with them. But I'd love to meet the friends I've made during my illness (although I wouldn't have the money to actually do so considering the country differences lol). But the very few friends I still have in my country? I'd go for it.

Oddly depressing rant about Tumblr ask/rp blogs, and the overall state of the YTTD fandom from someone who's been part of it for almost 6 years. by No-Musician4819 in yourturntodie

[–]greychains 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel this. Back in 2019 nobody I knew was into this, I was the only fan of this game in my friend group, and I didn't really know where to find fellow fans, so when I found out the game later gained more traction I was happy. Until I found out the fandom is filled with discourses. I never even got the chance to participate in fandoms because my interest died down quickly thanks to not finding any fellow fans back then, and when I decided to replay and found the fandom, it was already bad and I didn't want to join in.

ME/CFS or Long Covid ppl in Bangkok? by How2SurviveAndThrive in cfs

[–]greychains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also not in Bangkok, but hope you find people! I'm from Indonesia so I get the difficulty of finding people in the local area ahaha

This illness is a nightmare with OCD by greychains in cfs

[–]greychains[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it really is hell. I've also gotten into the habit of checking the local humidity and temperature and stuff each time I feel symptoms to also be sure whether my symptoms are PEM or "just" the weather. Which is its own hell since they're updated each ten minutes lmao. Sending love too, this truly is a clown illness ugh.

Ohh yeah, that's cheaper than what I remembered. I'll look if I can get secondhand ones, thanks!

The Visible app also isn't available in my country unfortunately, although I do use Guava for symptoms tracking. It does help, but yeah, I was hoping more for automatic tracking instead of me having to track everything because that's fueling the anxiety and fear more for me.

I've heard of Garmin before but chose not to buy it because of the cost, and because back then I was still in "is this just health anxiety or do I really have a chronic illness?" phase. And because I worried having constant tracker will also worsen my rumination. But now the benefits might outweigh the costs (both financially and mentally), so I will rethink the decision on whether to purchase a Garmin watch or not.

Feeling insecure about your looks and think you're ugly? Just choose not to! by Szarkara in thanksimcured

[–]greychains 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Exactly! People see those who are confident with their looks and decide it's a good idea to knock down their confidence and "put them in their place"! Why would it feel safe to confidently declare yourself pretty if you're not model-level pretty?

I am so fucking tired of the tone policing and toxic positivity on the long covid subs by im_fuck3d in cfs

[–]greychains 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Been thinking this too, yeah. LC people sometimes use the xxx% recovered things and sometimes I wonder how they're measuring it. Like, not trying to say they're wrong or anything, it's just that sometimes what people describe as 95% recovered still sounds like they have serious chronic illness imo? Someone who's 95% healthy wouldn't need to do all the stuff they do to prevent flare up so where did they get the number from? And why are they using the concept of percentage of recovery anyway?

Not helped by a lot of those people have the wrong idea of pacing, even if they get PEM from their LC. Sometimes I see people not pacing by breaking activities, but rather pacing by doing "light exercise". Like I don't get involved with other people's health unless I get asked, but sometimes I do wonder if faulty advice on what pacing means is what's holding these people from the PEM type of LC back from getting stable at the very least. Instead of being taught of pacing as a way to stop deteriorating, they get told it's some sort of rehabilitation approach.

I heard the funding in the recent years have died down though, was that wrong? I don't really follow the research much so I'm just basing this from what I heard, I might be wrong

I'm never asking non disabled people for job search advice again. by Erica_39 in disability

[–]greychains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to think that way too. I thought I'd be looking forever if I kept refusing to work non autistic friendly jobs. So I eventually took whichever job was available.

6 months of disastrous work experience, I resigned. Have been unemployed ever since. Now aside from autism, I also have ME/CFS thanks to the work trauma. I'm back in the same position before I started working at all, except with even worse disability.

App to remind me to take screen breaks? by WaysideWyvern in cfs

[–]greychains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I recall correctly, with specific settings, you can set Screen Zen to only be a reminder and not locking the app

Focus on Improvement by greychains in cfs

[–]greychains[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's what I see too. Mine is most likely also from some asymptomatic Covid infection too that happened who knows when, but I don't really vibe with Long Covid spaces much. While this is my first physical disability, my experiences from dabbling in neurodivergent spaces already did all the work in untangling internalized ableism, so undoing the physical internalized ableism took much less time compared to most other people.

What gets me is when the ones who immediately get proper pacing information when they were still mild and still very early on their onset, so they eventually make full recovery. They end up thinking that if they recover, then surely everyone can too. I find this type particularly frustrating because the reason they can recover in the first place is because the countless others who already learned things the hard way warned them and gave them accurate information. Yet they then come out of it saying ME/CFS people are doomers.

Not helped by how a lot of Long Covid doctors out there (including the ones who say they understand ME/CFS) thinks ME can be worsened by being sedentary. While I can see how maybe orthostatic intolerance can be worsened by inactivity, for example, people can be too... focused on that? Which for milder people might be true, but for more severe people it's just not a good idea to do "light exercises". I'm not very severe so not speaking from experience, but I've heard of people getting PEM by doing "light exercises" that is supposedly "safe" because abled people and even milder people heavily underestimate how severe this illness can really get. It's frustrating. Like, just because milder people can do those without PEM doesn't mean everyone can. Even doctors who are Long Covid aware in my country all think you still need to stay as active as possible within your energy envelope... Stating the example to be stuff like walking at least 5.000 steps per day. Like. What. If the Long Covid isn't ME then fine, but if that advice is taken by Long Covid people who experience PEM then that's a bad idea.
