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, I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I can empathize because ME/CFS is also on my physicians' differential list for diagnosing my current chronic illness; we are just still going through testing to make sure since ME/CFS is usually a diagnosis of exclusion.

Take things one step at a time — you’re doing your best. A diagnosis of ME/CFS is very complex to navigate, especially when it comes to explaining the condition and its impacts on you to other people who may not grasp just how overwhelmingly exhausting it is.

I live in one of the hottest and humid states in the US, and I can assure you that I am not at all a fan of hot weather haha. It rarely gets below 70 degrees F where I live. Ah, what I would do for cool breezes...

Ahhh, oh no -- FWIW, I hope it's not ME/CFS for you (...not that that would change a lot of the overlapping symptoms with about a million other things, but still ;.;). And thank you so much for your kind words -- they're sorely needed; so many people just don't get the absolute and utter exhaustion that it comes with! Fingers crossed for you ♥

Ugh, humidity. My mortal enemy, I swear ¬.¬; Heat is bad enough on its own, but when you add the OTHER h-word? You're measuring the air quality in wet towels and it's a minor form of hell. All the commiserations -.-;;
