    Migraines….

    …but also… seeing my mom lose all her patience and yell at my dad for having aggressive late stage dementia and not being able to function properly.

    Seeing that and being broke and unable to materially change the situation was by far and away the most cynical, insufferable thing I have ever experienced in my entire life and hopefully I will never experience something as awful again or I fear I would shatter into a million pieces.

    Insufferable in what sense? Do you mean insufferable from my point of view or me being insufferable for someone else?

      I used to be like this. But I learnt to accept it because I knew there’s nothing I can do change it. I even find it entertaining now!

        Yeah, no. I learned to not accept it. Now I get physical reactions from it. Helps me to understand that this person is not good for me.

        Thats important because I generally am too forgiving irl and have suffered through tremendous loss due to people lying.

        Now I have pretty exclusively honest people in my life and its infinitely better than before.

    Now. Got Long Covid and by now I can only leave the bed to take a dump. My GP dropped me because I can’t come to them. But I need one to sign off on a study I’m about to be part of starting next week. But none of the GPs around here take on new patients.

    Guess I’ll just die a very slow death. I’d rather be killed with a spoon.

      I strongly suspect long COVID is a neuropathy issue. I suffered from it in a horrible way in 2020 and didn’t really get better until 2022 after treating myself with high levels of vitamin B9 and medicines for neuropathy such as cymbalta, or even better, Lyrica.

      I am now undergoing cancer treatment and I have fatigue and weakness for sure but NOTHING COMPARES TO LONG COVID.

      Yes. I have literal cancer and long COVID was worse. I am taking cymbalta because of how traumatic the fatigue and brain fog long COVID was and maybe that’s just really helping.

      Either way, I really hope you get better ASAP, please don’t give up!!!

    Most of my childhood, and generally anything involving my parents. I’ve been no contact for a long time now. Life is great.
