The 'three characteristics' of all phenomena, dukkha (suffering), annicca (impermanence) and annatta (not-self) work as a practice. Focus on the feeling, see that it is changing all the time, realise that "you are not doing it". Liberation! #dharma #chronicillness

Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein strikes a chord. I too am a creature stuck between not living and not dying #chronic-illness #mecfs #frankenstein

www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202... - here it says that mecfs is NOT a genetic disorder, but I thought that the DecodeME study (to which I gave my DNA) showed that it was. Are there any science explainers out there? What's the story?

@xathoron.bsky.social just so you know, I don't do private chat because of the age verification thing in the UK. I can be contacted via hugle.uk

@mishellbaker.bsky.social best of luck with all things linux! I'm a long time user and will gladly help if I can when questions come up that searching doesn't answer. Just for the neovim editor alone linux is just wondrous :)

About a quarter of the posts I see have a title, a picture and a blurb which repeats the title. It's redundant and annoys, just venting..

"He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God." ~ Aeschylus

#MillionsMissing sick since an accident in 1991. I was a circus performer, rock-climber, musician and actor into martial arts, magic and ten thousand other things. Now I meditate, read, write (hugle.uk) and twiddle on the interwebs. I feel like I'm around 600 years old!
