For gamers dealing with a chronic illness

is there discord server?

Hi spoonies! Seeing a lot of familiar acronyms below... 🫠 I've been super low energy the past few years and lost my drive to use my voice or self-advocate, so I'm forcing myself to say hello. I'm lucky enough to WFH part-time; otherwise, when I'm not sleeping or in survival mode, I'm probably on my Steam Deck playing something cozy on invisible mode. Apologies in advance for being flaky but I'm really happy this community was created!

Hey y'all! My name is Olivia or Olive. For about a year and a half I've been navigating POTS, CFS/ME, a couple other forms of dysautonomia, MCAS, chronic mono, etc lol. I had to stop working earlier this year and am housebound and mostly bed/couchbound, and cozy gaming has become my ultimate escape so I was so excited to see this group! My brain fog is constant and terrible so forgive me if I'm ever off or slow to respond, but I'm excited to chat and make some new friends in the community who understand the struggles and know what it's like going through this. ❤️

Hello, my name is Haley, I have been struggling with pots, and awaiting a likely chronic fatigue diagnosis, I am also 5 months pregnant with a toddler in daycare. I've been bed bound for months and have finally made it back to my desk (also got a steam deck for lower energy days}
I game a lot to pass the time when i'm not in a total crash, so it'll be nice to meet some people who can kinda understand, as we all know it can be lonely dealing with chronic illness.

Hello y’all! I go by all sorts of names but my favorite is Spacey Bees. Or just Spacey. Or Bees. Or Book because that’s my username here.

I am almost recovered from long COVID I think, second time, been a year, I’m walking without a walker most times and getting stronger. Just in time for my autoimmune disease to decide it had been ignored for too long and was gonna play with organs. Rheumatoid arthritis and chronic kidney disease, as well as some others sprinkled here and there because why not! I’ve been escaping into games since I was a kid, right now enjoying a lot of cozy gaming, my job is stressful and it helps keep those stress levels down overall! I talk too much, and get hyperfixated on things then will decide I don’t like talking and will disappear here and there, but overall my health is stable where it is, soo don’t worry when that happens, I just need a life break 😅

hello!!! my name is bozo, i am disabled and chronically ill (both physically and mentally) :))) im rlly hype to meet other gamers!!!
