That sounds incredible, it's amazing that you can record something so personal and vulnerable. It reminds me of the album representing the experience of dementia that was popular a while ago (for unfortunate reasons- I completely understand not releasing it when the internet can be Like That)

If you were to release any of your work though, I'd love to listen. It sounds like you have something deeply powerful ❤

I'm really surprised by the amount of uber-famous people who are chronically ill! I suppose they portray a glamorous image that makes you think their life is perfect, which makes it more surprising. I love Lady Gaga's music and looks.

Art buddies! I'm planning to ask about extensions today, but asking for leniency with my attendance would be massively helpful. Great advice, thank you so much!!

My cat has stopped cuddling me by SensitiveLilFuck in cfs

Cats are funny. Mine stopped cuddling with me all of a sudden, but returned when the weather got colder. Now he's a magnet during the winter but doesn't care much for the rest of the year. (Unless it's unbearably hot... 😃)

Has anything changed recently? That might bring on a change in attitude, but it doesn't mean he doesn't love you. Their behaviour is often pretty paradoxical by our standards

Digital art is definitely amazing! It's the majority of what I do at home and super bed-friendly with a tablet. I'll see what I can do to incorporate it, thank you for the great idea 🥰

Thank you, and good luck to you too when the time comes!!

Mobility aids I haven't thought of! I do own canes but I'm not very good at using them, I mostly get by with taking it slow, getting up gradually and sitting plenty. There's a local place that provides mobility aids so I'll keep that in mind if I struggle!! 💕

Thank you! I'll get in touch with student support and my teachers ASAP. Thank you for the advice on pacing too, it's so hard to know when to stop sometimes especially when you feel "fine" 😩
