#housebound

[wishful-seeker]

I think some people don't realize some of us HAVE to be chronically online unfortunately, especially if we are bedridden or housebound due to illness. Obviously this isn't great for many reasons, and I've definitely fallen into the habit of rotting my brain with 7 second reels or ending up in really petty online arguments because i have nothing else to do. Just try to take care of yourselves, maybe you have to be chronically online, but maybe you can look out a window for a few minutes, or actively not read comments you know will upset you, or maybe make an effort to take a break from watching reels or tiktoks every few hours. Its incredibly difficult to have an occupied life when you're stuck in bed or at home. Personally I've found eating or being on my phone while also outside helps, writing/journaling in the notes on your phone, rewatching a loved tv show instead of interacting on online discourse or watching mind numbing dopamine hit reels over and over. Anyways, i know its difficult and you aren't bad for being chronically online especially when you really don't have much of a choice, just try to be gentle with how you treat yourself and consume media these days. I frequently take breaks from Instagram and tiktok, i think i haven't used them in about 2 weeks right now. Its also helpful to find safe spaces online. I consider tumblr a much more tame and healthier media for myself to consume because there isn't much fighting and just more wholesome random info everywhere. It also helps to text/call friends, reconnect with them online, ect. I hope my fellow chronically online people have a nice internet day.

I have a memory of a time when I was about 14, I think. I had already been mostly bedbound and completely housebound for a considerable period of time, and hadn't seen people other than my parents and sister for a long time.

We also don't have any pets, so I didn't see any animals.

Then we walked the short distance from our house to my Gran's house, who lives one street over, for Christmas or New Year's (can't remember which). And I saw a black cat strutting down the street.

And I almost stopped walking! Because - creature!! Real-life four-legged beautiful graceful creature only a metre away from me!! I hadn't seen a cat in so long.

It was so close I could've reached out and touched it, if I wanted (although, I doubt the cat would let me!).

It was a lovely moment where I felt suddenly so much more grounded in the nice, safe parts of the physical world around me.

I went outside for the first time in over a month!

I've missed the outdoors so much. Everything is so beautiful. I actually had to close my eyes and breathe in multiple times because it's so overwhelmingly gorgeous out there.

There was water and ducks and trees and dogs and sun and insects and plants and wind and clouds and sky!

I've missed it all so much and I know it'll probably be another month before I get out again so I'm trying to savour the memory right now.

“You’re lucky you don’t have to work and get to relax all day”

I swear if one more person says this to me. I get that work sucks. I do. But being mostly housebound isn’t exactly a picnic.

The boredom. The isolation. The constant knowledge that you’re missing out on life. The plummeting self worth and the struggle to find purpose in a life where you rarely leave the house. Have I mentioned the boredom!? There’s only so many things you can do while you’re lying in bed. I’ve watched all the TV shows. I’ve crocheted until my hands hurt. I would kill to go for a simple walk in the woods. To look at a different set of walls. To step outside of the tiny bubble I live in.

Agoraphobe

four walls cradle me i know everything inside

safe in this cozy place familiarity is a soft embrace

a window would be suffocating in its depth and possibility

finally free in the capsule limitless in the box

there is no door: you can't get in

Hey tumblr pals, Can you send some gentleness and hugs my way, please?

Today marks 2 years since I was last able to go outside. I’m now longterm bedbound and can only walk as far as the toilet. Sending love and hugs to all of you!

Nvm ketamine is the best

Today i

1. Made homemade Pico de gallo

2. Went to the park

3. Walked around a lot at the park harvesting native wild plants and digging some up to take home (I took a very small amount dw)

4. Swung on swings

5. Went home and planted the plants and had to pull up grass by hand because it's a very tough kind of grass I couldn't get with the shovel.

6. Played minecraft with a friend for a few hours.

Normally I wouldn't be able to do any of these, without ketamine I couldn't have done any of these things, ever. Not just on bad days. No, not being able to do any of these things was my normal. Today I spent hours out of bed, thats unheard of for me.
