#will look more into chronic fatigue

[erigold13261]

Huh. Approx 12 hours later from sending that last ask, I realize that NSR!Shoko may have chronic fatigue. It needs to operate its healing power 24/7 due to their body, which makes them tired all the time. (Adult!Shoko in canon is overworked, and has bags under their eyes)

Whoops, meant to answer this earlier.

I think the ask I answered about the 24/7 healing powers should be out by the time this one comes out, but I'll repeat, I think Shoko's healing powers are more subconscious but still always happening like Steven Universe's natural healing powers for his own body.

However, I have been talking about Shoko having a thinner glass body than other glass elementals, so perhaps Shoko's body is so thin that even this subconscious healing is not enough so it always have to be in overdrive because any small nick in the glass could lead to a shattered appendage or something.

This is kinda making me think of Hemophilia, where the body can't clot the blood properly so one cut can be very dangerous for someone with that disease. It's obviously not the same thing, but Shoko has to be just as careful as someone with Hemophilia to make sure it doesn't get cut, cracked, or hit too hard in case it ends up shattering (which will then need explicit use of its powers to actually try and reconnect and heal the shattered remains together before the pieces all lose their connection to the main body and can no longer be rehealed into a functioning body part).

So yea! Shoko is probably chronically fatigued from its body constantly working in overdrive because of its thin glass condition (which is probably classified as a disease and isn't common in most glass elementals). Shoko is lucky it has healing powers at all that can help offset the thin glass problem, but it comes at a cost.

The watches don't help in this regard as now Shoko's powers are lowered so their body is working even HARDER to keep Shoko alive and well. So their time in Nueva York is just more miserable than it would have been if they had thicker glass skin.

“Oh, ‘dreams’? I had those once…”

#oc #traditional art #mixed media #artists on tumblr #anhedonia #I like the look of this one better #it’s more exaggerated and abstract #I didn’t use my g-pen as much so the results are a bit softer #honestly this is the feeling when you’re chronically ill and too fatigued too often to feel like you’re able to do the things you wanted

expected when i started running this tournament to learn a lot about disabled characters i'd never heard of before, did not expect to get so attached to quirks of numbers that my brain would make up whole crossovers with fandoms i just learned about through this poll?

anyway they are friends now i have decided and are talking about science

(wylan and cinder poll backstory)

[ID: Fanart of Wylan Van Eck from Six of Crows and Linh Cinder from Lunar Chronicles, sitting next to each other and chatting. Wylan is a pale skinned teenager with haphazardly curly red hair and freckles. He has old fashioned scientific goggles pushed up into his hair, and is wearing a red shirt, navy blue jacket, brown pants, shoes, and fingerless gloves, and a blue scarf tucked into his shirt. There is a brown leather satchel beside him. Cinder is a tan skinned asian girl with dark brown hair tied up in a ponytail. She is wearing a grey tank top, khaki green pants, and white shoes. One hand has a fingerless leather glove on it, her other hand is instead a metal prosthetic, with burn scars where it connects at the wrist. Visible at her ankle is another metal prosthetic, this time for her left leg. The background is absent of detail and filled with multicoloured paint splatters in a way that suggests a 3d space.]

#technically i drew this while the poll was happening in the hopes i'd get to use it #aaand then the chronic fatigue crept up on me again and i haven't been all that conscious the past two days #so shhh this poll just ended #but ye! i've loved six of crows for years so i know how to draw a wy #but this is the first time i've ever drawn fanart for a fandom i'm not even in #cinder is just based off her description on the wiki hope i didn't get anything too wrong #but i am just. im lov them.....? #not sure if im gonna use this art for their teamup going forward may have to draw yet more wy and cinder art #but look at what you've all done to me #im gonna have so many new interests by the end of this #six of crows #wylan van eck #lunar chronicles #linh cinder

Are those 2 even the same Fake Peppino?

Like they are physically different-

I assume you mean the big boy in the last ask and yes, that’s the same Fake we know and love

For future reference: Normal Fake Peppino

Vs Chase Fake Peppino

He’s the only clone of his batch that can become so large without needing to combine with other clones. He only does this when extremely upset past the point of keeping his composure.

The triplets (and other Fake clones) on the other hand can only get that large and strong by fusing together since they are weaker.

(Old drawing but same design)

#ask #body horror #basically he gets big as a crazy snap mode #keeps note of the teeth and pseudo arm hair as key identifiers for the future #we got a clone coming that looks similar to chase Fake but is actually a WAR clone #I’d color everything I make to make it more clear but that’s just not possible if we want doodles for most asks I get #which is a lot #chronic fatigue is a bitch

has anyone tried to look up tips in how to slow down? googling: "how to slow down and be less productive due to chronic pain/fatigue" google: "10 tips to be even more productive when ill!" "how to be productive while in chronic pain!" "stay productive while you grieve the life you lost!" "keep working even if you are chronically fatigued!!!" "dont you fucking dare stop working you useless piece of shit contribute to society your worth is tied to how much you can produce!!!!!!"

#chronic fatigue syndrome #chronic fatigue #chronic pain #holy shit is near impossible to find something useful #just making us feel even worse #is not even trying to be discrete #talked about it in therapy but the therapists said those kinda articles are everywhere #is fucked up #and it would be more concerning if the brain fog wasnt clouding our brain #trying not to feel worthless while chronically ill in capitalist society challenge #trying to find any help or tips feels near impossible #and if we try to look up stuff for artists is even harder to find anything

i just got so happy that it's like 9:30. that means it's societally acceptable for me to go to bed soon 😭😭

#girl needs to look into chronic fatigue a bit more #borf barks #tbf i did a lot of shit today so idk

I've been trying to figure out and justify why I've been experiencing so much fatigue lately. At first I thought I may have developed anemia from my endometriosis making me bleed for 8 weeks straight but my blood tests came back fine. Maybe I'm just exhausted bc I had to work that entire time while actively sick? But I had quite a few days off to rest this month and I haven't been as sick recently, so what gives? Turns out I didn't need to look for an outside source. Apparently fatigue is one of THE most common symptoms of endo and it's just not mentioned often bc most doctors underestimate the impact fatigue can have on people's lives 🙃 The call is coming from inside the fucking house

#endometriosis #just decided to google if endo itself can cause fatigue and uh. turns out it fucking can! #one study im reading here had ~85% of participants with endo report pain. ~50% report heavy bleeding. and 100% report fatigue #that would make fatigue a more common symptom of endometriosis than the symptoms that DEFINE endometriosis #WHY have i never seen fatigue mentioned on any other resource before 😭 why did my DOCTOR not mention it #jk. one of the articles literally says that its under-discussed and under-researched bc most doctors dont think fatigue is a big deal #tell that to me sleeping through all of my fucking alarms missing class missing appointments and being late for work #rambling #at least i know now i guess #ive been having to explain myself to my professors and my boss and ive been correcting myself #to say 'fatigue from my chronic illness' instead of 'chronic fatigue' bc i didnt think this counted #but. looks like it fucking does. endo can cause chronic fatigue. fuck #can i just get this fucking hell machine taken out of me already #its not like im using it. and a month or two of recovering from surgery would be better than a forever of pain and gi issues and fatigue #menstruation tw

God damn I'm tired and extra dizzy today, which I've figured out some of why that happens. Evidently that's my reaction to overstimulation fatigue. Good to know, explains a lot. No idea what to do about it and I did expect to have some sucky days after going to San Francisco anyway so it's whatever, but it's nice to have figured out a specific trigger.

Except that's cool and all but I almost couldn't fold laundry today because it involved a lot of looking up and down and that was unnecessarily rough. This was after sleeping like 11 hours because my shit-ass tired-ass brain demanded a hard reboot more or less, and I'm still kind of gross today even so. Kind of glad they rescheduled the root canal I was gonna have Tuesday for like two weeks out, because I am probably not gonna be quite recovered for another week at least and dental work fucks me up also so that would have been an Everything Hurty Syndrome 2x Combo.

Bleh. At least when I'm writing chronic illness/disability it's some own voices legit type ass shit, but does it have to be, because I could do without this. My whole me hurts and nothing seems to help and also turning my head too fast will knock me the hell over. Good times. ✌️😔

#chronic illness #fibro #chronic pain #chronic fatigue #disability #like I looked up at the TV where my partner is playing FFVII Rebirth and down at my phone just now #and that was not a good plan. I got very dizzy just doing that. #The Suffering is like extra spicy recipe today because I just Don't Do Crowds and never have really #went flat catatonic once in Tokyo during rush hour on a train. that was cool. (it wasn't) #(ex had to drag my unresponsive ass to a corner and wait for me to eventually reconnect to reality) #(it took a while. he was Very Mad at me which was not a kind way to handle it.) #(like sorry we can't all be neurotypical in here. you cannot fathom how crowded the Yamanote Line gets unless you've seen it) #I did get sat on and purred at by every cat last night tho bc they could tell I was Very Not Normal so that was nice at least #I've had this as a symptom forever but I never thought about it that much until I started writing about it #I think I'm a lot more aware of it now. which honestly is probably safer for me bc who wants to fall over? #not me. done it a few times. not fun. can't recommend it.

btw, Six is disabled. this is canon. i realized while working on character models in heroforge and doodling his design that the fact that he has prosthetics would both heavily influence how he interacts with the world but also his character in general and now i'm honestly a bit disappointed in myself for not considering that sooner

#ray's tag #project: nexus #as a (mostly) physically abled person except for the chronic fatigue; we didn't actually. put any thought into the design when we made the #skin when we were like 11 lol i just thought it looked cool #but looking at him with what we know now about representation- especially accurate representation- i feel like with the sort of #storytelling we're going for in this series little details like these are more important than ever even if they're not outright mentioned!

[emo-and-confused]

make lists, dude. any time you know you have to do something later, make a to-do list of getting ready. it makes things so much easier and you don’t have to freak out about what you need to get done. you know what you need to do, in the order you should do it.

when making the list, add a “anything else that needs to be done immediately” at the end, just in case you couldn’t think of anything.

add a nice note for yourself like, “don’t stress!” “you’re doing good!” “it’ll be okay!” “it’s not the end of the world if you forget something!” to keep your future self calm.

make a separate list for anything not a necessity and that’s okay if you don’t get done; keep your main list simple and just the things you have to do.

put anything on the list, even if you think it’s self explanatory like, “eat something before you leave” “take medication” “brush your teeth” “get dressed” “charge your phone” “put shoes on”.

if you don’t set out your clothes, be specific about what you want to wear, “blue button down that’s hanging in the closet” “black jeans that you forgot to fold after the wash”.

if you have to tell someone something but want to wait till the next day to, write down what you want to say to who you want to say it to.

this list is for you, so don’t beat yourself up for what you write.

write anything on that list that you know will help you! write it the night before you know you have things to do the next day! add to it every time you think of something new that you’ll have to do when getting ready!

#check reblog addition #this is a longish post but this is something that has REALLY helped me these last few days #especially since i’ve even so stressed and getting ready for plans causes my brain to shut down sometimes #simple commands help! #and when i’m fatigued (chronic illness baybee) it’s a lot easier to do things when i can look at my notes app and read small orders like #‘brush teeth’ and ‘eat something’ #this is for all my chronically ill and/or neurodivergent folks #and anyone who wants to try and be more organized!! #neurodivergent #autism #adhd #chronic illness #chronic fatigue #list making

I either need to accept that I am just a way stronger person than this friend and can handle way more while still being able to engage with the world as a person, or recognize excuses as excuses, accept that I am not valued and be done or. Maybe both. Idk. It might be somewhere between the two. I am just sick of regular life stuff rendering him unable to spend any time with me, and of him being unable to bear any of the details of my life, when I would move mountains to rekindle our friendship. Though I'm starting to wonder if I still would.

#faer personal files #i just. really didn't want officiating his wedding to be our last hurrah of friendship even though i did kind of feel it coming #also i'm really sick of being infantilized for my chronic fatigue i am a grown adult and i know what i'm capable of #ugh. maybe i'm just being awful and not understanding in which case i'm too much of a rancid person to be his friend i guess #but i don't think that's the case #idk i'll never forget when i couldn't see this dude for a year even masked up outside for covid but when another of our old friends came up #from her job doing COVID RELATED CROWD CONTROL FOR THE FUCKING ARMY he went on a hike with her mask off #and i think that says a lot about what our friendship's been for years honestly. if he can't bear my company idk why i try #if i'm just an interesting prop for conversations and occasions but not a friend. i can't accept that #i am an interesting prop for conversations. the disabled genderfluid bisexual genius who lost everything bc of said disability #but i didn't lose everything i just have to fucking rebuild on new ground. and i am doing that. i whine on occasion but i am so strong #and i do know how to interact with people without traumadumping i haven't on him in YEARS but his concept of me crystalized at age 21 #or something like that i guess. idk it just breaks my heart #bc for a long time he was my person. he was the only person who knew the authentic me. more even than my sisters at times. #and yeah that was a little unhealthy but at the time he craved that!!! #and then i grew up and stopped needing him like that around the same time he stopped wanting that and it should have been fucking fine #but like. even senior year of college when i was sick it was already starting to fall apart #like i remember being on a small hike once being exhausted and jokingly being like you gotta carry me back and then being like #no really i might actually need an arm to lean on by the end of this walk if i'm gonna make it back to the car i really don't know if i can #and he said no bc he didn't want to look straight. who the fuck CARES??? i could barely walk i was stumbling my way back annoying him going #too slow. fuck. and that really has been what our friendship has been for years. the minute my house wasn't the most convenient place it wa #more or less dead idk why i keep dragging this horse around #idk why i keep letting him break my heart like this it's so stupid he's never gonna care about me like he did when i was quick and brillian #but never quite as smart as him in his view. fuck him. i'm smarter. just bc i was a little gullible or paranoid at times bc of the #FUCKING CPTSD doesn't mean i was dumber than him. the fuck??? there's something wrong with me i swear idk why i hang on #anyway i'm irritated. but i'm also reluctant to throw away somebody who's seen me through key points in my life. so.

thinking abt fatness and health a lot lately

#I’ve been having a lot of symptoms lately and it’s so hard to not just assume they must be bc I’m fat #and that weight loss is the answer to all my problems #I rly want to get more active #but I honestly like being fat #I think fat bodies are beautiful #and I like mine #but it’s frustrating bc all of my symtpms are things that people say are due to fatness #like shortness of breath #high BP #headaches #chronic fatigue #so it’s hard for the devils advocate voice in mt head not to be like #but what if your body is the cause of all your health problems #it’s hard #I don’t want to change the way my body looks #but I want these symptoms to go away #I wish I didn’t hold so much shame around fatness and the symptoms I have that are often associated with it #I feel so embarrased catching my breath in front of people #bleh

hey baby girl . i think at this point im at least a little bit disabled

#ok to be fair. always been on account of the metal illness #but more physical things are looking at me with huge eyes #chronic fatigue gripping me firmly hyper mobility gripping me the Looming Chance of myotonic dystrophy #blindness (not full but pretty severe in my right eye) has been there always #and of course the chance to always become Definitely Physically Disabled in any number of ways

[transsexualbear]

at what point of constant illness do we call ourself chronically ill? at what point of regular, enduring pain do we say we have chronic pain? at what point of having seizures, passing out, being unable to stay awake, do we label ourself disabled?

at what point do we get to rest because we could really use a break.

#dxed with epilepsy and fibro and chronic migraines #there's more there but is it long covid? is it pots? is it chronic fatigue? #that's not even touching the fucking. gut issues #which could be colitis! why not throw more in the mix! #and THEN all the mental illness and neurodivergence #our team doesn't quite know how to handle us anymore and we're really. exhausted. doing tests and tests and tests #'another blood test' okay what are we looking for this time? why not do another ecg or mri while we're at it #this reminds us of the horrible fatigue we had before our diabetes dx but this time there's no simple answer

the mechs r my special interest yet i barely know anythin abt them :')

#ive been. dealing with a lot of stuff lately and my chronic fatigue makes it difficult to really put any effort into anything #so despite the fact i really wanna look into the mechs more and learn more abt stuff in their lore n history #i cant do it rn because of how exhausted i am all the time #it really sucks. i wish my disability didnt impact this but it does #captains orders
