RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Knowing anything about it I have to ask.... would bone conducting headphones work?
I would suspect they would not work. The damage from Covid appears to be neurological and bone conducting headphones only bypass the mechanical components of the ear.
someone tells you major life altering loss and grief from two years ago, don't try to offer solutions to fix the problem.
EDIT: yikes, the internet really is a cold place. yall are really a bunch of unsympathetic fixers and know-it-alls aren't you? have you ever heard of commiseration? the fucking arrogance of those of you who think you can just waltz in with a solution.
So your solution is 'fuck trying to be helpful, they're finished, don't even bother'? As someone who is in a similar situation to OP, kindly eat shit and die. I will happily look into ways to regain my mobility, cognitive sharpness, and retrain my brain to overcome my loses, and I'm sure as fuck others would as well. It's fucking awful to be effectively chained to a bed or chair, forced to watch your life fade away, unable to do anything. I'm always up for trying new medical tech and therapy methods, and I go back to therapy every couple years to try again, and try new ideas.
To have your state of mind is awful for yourself, but is nothing short of disgusting, hurtful, and distressing for others. Truly, fuck you.
You're making a ton of assumptions here. Go ahead and be angry. You're so righteous, you can't even see what an asshole you're being to OP.
Do you really think they spent two years confined to bed, stuck online, without learning about potential solutions to their struggle? They come here saying the internet is not a welcoming place, and you just reply with a canned "try this!" solution they probably heard of on month two. It's your arrogance that you think you can just come in here and save someone. What did you expect? "Oh thank goodness you came along to recommend that, I wasn't able to Google shit myself"? Notice how OP hasn't even replied to you??
And so ironic that in a thread where the whole point is loneliness from people being assholes online, you respond like such an asshole.
Who's the problem here, exactly?
