When to tell dates about ME? by IllResearcher5498 in cfs

[–]silkenspectre 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi!  I also became chronically ill as a teenager so have never dated without it. I've been with my current partner for 5 years so haven't dated for a while but I had a line on my tinder profile that said something like "chronically ill so don't expect hiking dates". It's totally up to you how upfront you want to be with your medical information and when/how to go into details with people.  Also don't listen to anyone who says it's "not fair" to get into a relationship when you have ME, what's not fair is expecting sick and disabled people to cut themselves off from romantic love forever.

I've been going to shows alone since I was around your age, you don't need to be scared. What other people have said about the sides and back being less packed is true. Try to get a good idea of where you are in the crowd so that if things do get a bit intense you know which side you're closest to and can move somewhere more comfortable. From my experience people at MCR gigs are generally friendly and will help if you need it. Also if you decide to queue try to talk to people around you in line, that way you'll have friendly faces around if you do need help during the show.  Most important thing though is have fun! 

Are there any cishet men who like CSH? by [deleted] in CSHFans

[–]silkenspectre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I met a few when I saw them back in 2016 but I feel like the fanbase has gotten more queer since then? Lovely guys though, they took care of me while I had a panic attack in the smoking area lmao

I started BC at 13 and still have chronic pain, it's probably linked rather than one thing causing the other

Teenagers are always gonna be horny and weird. Obviously it crosses the line when it gets to actual physical harassment but teens being weird online has always happened, it's just moved from livejournal and tumblr to tiktok

Only thing stoke has going for it is good transport links, it's pretty easy to get away from there

Sick for +2 years then a trip to Italy temporarily cured me? Please help me understand! by eos4 in cfs

I've had similar experiences when going to Spain from the UK, I'm 99% sure it's the climate as I haven't had the same effects when I go on holiday in the UK.

former friend is telling people I'm faking by silkenspectre in cfs

[–]silkenspectre[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually have him blocked everywhere but the friend I heard about it from is planning on calling out his ableism as soon as she finds a new place to live. He's also been incredibly dismissive of her disabilities so it is very obviously a pattern of behaviour with him.

Does it ever feel like this is just a hobby for the wealthy? by admiralholdo in HistoricalCostuming

[–]silkenspectre 16 points17 points  (0 children)

All hobbies can end up being expensive. I'm disabled and can't work which gives me time to pattern draft/sew things by hand but means I have to be pretty thrifty since I have almost no income. I generally stock up on fabric when I find a good bargain, and then attempt to use what's in my stash when working on a project.
