I’m in a pretty stressful marriage (23 years), and I’m also in a lot of pain, and to top that off. I was allowed to keep some of the money we got because of covid to see a doctor for my pains, that the pills she prescribed me screwed up my digestive system to which I’m battling dizziness, some new pains, and sometimes difficulty breathing. So my mind is pretty ripped in soooo many ways.
Anyway…anyway…a heck of a lot more stress was added after a family member moved in…so more stress. Ppppppp!
Anyway, anyway, I have been toying with the idea of running a lemmy or kbin server for people in my situation. I think it would be exceptionally helpful. For venting without restrictions, possible to be completely anonymous, job searching for chronic/mental illnesses. Just an extension, you might say, of all the other helpful sites out there. (which if I can feel up to it, I know of quite a few and can post links for them…which maybe could be added to the side bar…like wearecapable, which is a site to help chronic illness people to find jobs.
Hell, just now thinking about it, in this kind of fediverse type groupings, I bet there’d be a wider range of career help for people in bad situations.
Meh, it’s a nice dream, heh. But anyway, I’m just venting right now. My mind is shredded.
I don’t know why I haven’t thought about joining a group foe people with chronic illness. I can’t find anyone to realate to and my family always diminishes my pain, so I felt so alone.
I think it’s a great idea and would like to join :D.
2nd attempt to reply…O_o…For some reason my last reply just vanished…
Anyway, there’s !chronicpain@lemmy.world for the moment. I want to get a little more mental strength before I actually setup a full fledged server. I want to make sure it is defederated yet accessible (meaning it can’t be seen across Lemmy/kbin instances and is hidden for other instances…I feel that’d be best for us).
Same! My wife has been really really hard on me. I guess she has never been with me for the past 23 years to notice me slowing down. Oh, she claims she understands, but she surely doesn’t talk to me like she believes me (and other things of course…She really doesn’t like me, and I am more of a pet than anything else at the moment…I guess I should be thankful…At least I’m not a slave any more, 🙁 ).
Anyhoo, better stop myself…Once I start whining, I just can’t stop…Time to look up some pretty pretty ferns, 😄
