    #RantSo. Genug.Meine Frustrationstoleranzgrenze ist überschritten.Fibromyalgie interessiert keine Sau, ist wohl auch nicht wichtig genug, um als Nicht-Betroffene*r zur Kenntnis zu nehmen oder zu teilen.Ich wollte trotz jahrelangen vergeblichen Bemühen dem Thema hier im Fediverse noch mal eine Chance geben. Nach einigen Monaten, auch wenn ich nach anderen Beiträgen zu Fibro suche, ist das Ergebnis ernüchternd. ‍️So wie es sich mir darstellt, bedient man hier entweder die gängigen Themen, smalltalkt mit bissigen Bemerkungen, um so die Welt zu retten, oder man hat Pech. Chronische Erkrankungen bzw. chronisch Erkrankte werden auch hier nicht gesehen.Ich lese alle, denen ich folge, und das fast jeden Tag, trotz sehr begrenzter Energiereserven. Was mir wichtig und unterstützenswert erscheint, teile ich. Klar, mein Problem. Aber wofür ist der Bums hier eigentlich gedacht?!Der Austausch zum Laufen die letzten Wochen hat Spaß gemacht, aber da stand nicht die Fibro im Vordergrund, brachte das Thema nicht weiter.Was ich mit dem Ganzen hier jetzt anstelle? Werde ich überlegen, wenn ich nicht mehr so wütend bin.P. S. Ratschläge, was ich wie mit was und welcher anderen Software oder Hashtags „besser“ machen könnte, sind ausdrücklich nicht erbeten. Und es geht hier nicht um Mitleid und DuziDuzi, es geht um Sichtbarkeit, verdammte Hacke!#Fibromyalgie #Fibromyalgia #Fediverse #ChronischeErkrankung #ChronicIllness #ChronischeSchmerzen #ChronicPain #UnsichtbareBehinderung #InvisibleDisability

    #MentalHealth (good) #Musings #ChronicIllness #GriefAndHealing This post is both vulnerable, and I hope, also inspiring to those who may need it: I was an absolutely unstoppable force throughout my 20’s. I have lived what feels like… 2-3 lifetimes before I hit 40 next year. I’ve done incredible things. Experienced the highest highs and the lowest lows. Dreaming, building, advocating… across industries and across nations. Online and offline. Flash forward: Since I progressively became chronically ill, I have spent the last 5+ years unpacking the profound grief of the loss of who I was and the loss of my perceived worth. Most of the time that process has been painfully difficult, so much so that I coped by trying to mentally run and forget everything ‘before’ because it was too emotionally painful to face the loss/change. Over the past year or so, I’ve learned that I don’t need to do that in order to heal. I can connect compassionately with younger me, be proud, and walk forward as I am now *with* who I used to be because she is still me and deserves to be here now. Integration.If any of this resonates with you, I’d be honoured to know even a part of your story. 🫶

    @broadwaybabyto A sizable slice of those are people who believe in the "Prosperity Doctrine" or Right-wing Christianity, or the people like Oprah who believe in "Attraction Theory" and that mere thoughts and positive energy shape reality.So, they think that as "good people" who give out positive thoughts, they will never be without a home. They also tend to believe the same foolishness about things like cancer, and are astounded when they get a diagnosis and face surgery, chemo, or death

    @naga solidarity right back at you. I quit my corporate job years back, tried to go to Uni again but had to do the medical leave thing, and now I’m hoping my ‘lil side business will sustain me because I can work at my own pace. So far, so good. I hope you have something you can pour yourself into when you are feeling well. You deserve that.

    @Catawu Thanks! No rest so far, but mostly that's because I feel like I'm on duty with the kid. I napped a couple times today (well, Sunday), so my husband was feeding him most of the day. Now that his work day is starting soon, maybe I can lie down and dream of the ocean.
