Introductions

[nepenthee]

Let’s get to know each other! :D Not sure what to say? Here are some ideas:

<b>Name:</b>
<b>Collective/Main site:</b>

<b>Latest finished project(s):</b> (site-related)
<b>Next project(s):</b> (outside of this event)

<b>Currents:</b> (any web stuff, a fandom you’re active in, a book you’re reading, things you’re trying out, recent life events etc.)

Note that if this DW community gets reused for future events, this post may be left as a sticky, so you may want to keep things general. (No fear, you'd always be welcome to reintroduce yourself!) For anything related to the event specifically, please use the regular checkpoint posts.

Rin, my heart goes out to you - I also have severe ME, nine full years as of this December, and ironically enough my own flares and PEM have stopped me from replying to this sooner. It's such a world shattering diagnosis to get, particularly when that's where the non-existent treatment ends and you're just kind of left to manage and navigate it yourself forevermore; I am so sorry.

I cannot offer much more than brain-on-fire, exhausted solidarity rn but I see you. ❤️

Rem, I wanted to reply to you too (as I have done with Rim) in expressing my sympathy of your diagnosis while also empathizing (given that there may be a chance that I may be diagnosed with the same thing, but am still going through testing to exclude other possibilities).

I'm here for both of you, if any of you need a soul in solidarity to confide in. Sending you both gentle thoughts and quiet strength.

Oh no, I'm so sorry! This disease is the absolute worst and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy; it's both encouraging and kind of heartbreaking to meet fellow sufferers ♥ (And amusingly, PEM is the same precise reason why this reply is late on my end, because of course it is. Sigh. XD)

I see you, too! And I offer the same brainfired solidarity...usually from a prone position, but still. ♥
