I'm sorry you have these struggles Tanya 😞🫂
I feel the same way about it. It's nice to have an image that represents your experiences so well that you can use it to communicate them to others though. Words fail me so often.

A cartoon titled 'Living with ME/CFS.' A woman with dishevelled hair and tired eyes lying in bed. She's reaching up to a shelf wth a row of bottles on it, but they are just out of her reach. The bottles are labelled 'shower,' 'eat,' 'get dressed.' /1

Above that is another shelf with a higher row of bottles, labelled 'career,' 'kids,' and 'fitness.' Above this is the top shelf, with two more bottles, labelled 'plans' and 'hopes & dreams.' There is a box of tissues on the table next to her bed, a bottle of medicine and a glass of water.
This is the condition sometimes referred to with the misnomer "chronic fatigue syndrome," making it sound like it's just a bit of fatigue. Spoiler: it isn't. Here's some more posters, with people describing what the symptoms really are. Another big one is severe chronic pain.

I'm so sorry Darling Ultra. I have severe ME/CFS and it gets difficult to think & describe an image after the post-related mental energy use, but I'll find a way around it.
For this thread I'll add it in comments & for any others I missed @alt-text.bsky.social can generate it for you I believe 💜
