A community/support group for chronically ill people. While anyone is welcome, our number one priority is keeping this a safe space for chronically ill people.
Rules
- Be excellent to each other
- Absolutely no ableism.
- No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.
- No denying or minimising challenges faced by chronically ill people. This is a support group, not a place for people to spout their opinions on disability.

And this kills you how?
I am literally too weak to do almost anything besides binging stupid YouTube videos. When that's gone I might as well be dead.
Sounds like some serious depression. May I suggest cat hunting in your neighborhood? Find kitties, and give em some treats and pets
It's not.
I don't know that this terseness and tone is helpful when someone is clearly feeling at a low point. Sometimes people are just reaching out because they don't know what to do, and have lost perspective because they've become isolated.
how'd you get tone from 5 words of text...
also, I asked a question to better understand what they are saying, but fuck me for wanting to know right?
Not everything is an attack. Stop putting your emotions into someone else's words. Looks bad on you.
I am sorry I've offended you. I'll take what you said seriously and watch myself closely in the future to make sure I'm not projecting.
What I was trying to say is that I think it's good to take extra care choosing words and approach when someone is having a hard time. Maybe you did do that, and we just disagree about the result.
