Hi! I'm Shiny or Stina, friendly neighborhood sick-and-falling-apart-and-doctors-can't-do-squat hermit. Chronically ill forever, disabled for around 9 years. Online communities have been SUCH a lifesaver for me. But over the years those groups dwindle away for various reasons, and now I find myself looking for a new little group!

Is there are chronic illness/disability support group already on Subeta that I just haven't noticed? If so, I'd love to learn more and join if possible!

If not, is anyone else interested in making one? I would be happy to lead it but need a couple of co-leaders and interested members! I know I have talked to several other chronically ill players here individually, but it would be nice to have a dedicated and semi-private forum group to talk and meet new people!

Please feel free to ping possibly interested friends, share any thoughts or ideas you may have, and let me know if you're interested in being involved!

I think this is a great idea and I would definitely be interested !! I could help in any way you need too.

That’s a great idea, and I’d love to help out! I suffer heavily from RLS, fibromyalgia, and Tourette’s so I’m always exhausted and the few communities I used to be a part of some groups as well but they all fell apart. Let me know how I can help :)

this is an AWESOME idea and I would love to join and/or help in any way I can if you're still thinking about doing it!! I know the forums aren't as busy as they used to be but I'm still down ^^ I've got fibro, among other things, so the constant pain and fatigue keeps me on my butt most of the day and subeta has always been a big help.

oh gosh, I completely forgot about this!

thanks for the tag! I'm still interested in making this group. so sorry I missed your replies earlier and if any of you have name suggestions, let me know and I'll get it started soon! I am actually online frequently, just very unobservant, so do ping me repeatedly until I answer :')

omg i forgot for a bit too LMAO

ok but to be fair it's cause i've had a wicked bad flareup going on for weeks and in the last week or two specifically i have gone full snail in the shell. ive just been toooo tired and sore to be a person. also holidays, haha yikes

Chronically Chill B)

I have fibro too and would love love love to join! I also find subeta's been a huge help at keeping me busy! I'm bedridden a lot so 'm so thankful to have found something that keeps me distracted :P

I really like this idea as well! I have migraines, IBS and various other complaints goin' on and not a whole lot of friends I'm comfortable talking about the perils of chronic illness life with, so this would be a nice group to be in.

Anyone still interested in this?

Completely! If anyone or all of us could get the ball rolling that would be amazing. I just don't know how to go about doing that.

hey i'm up for it, i have fibro, my hips aren't growing properly and I have depression/anxiety which kills my brain constantly. lmao

Hey! I know this thread is super old (barely avoiding necro, it seems) but I'm back from the not-really-dead-just-somewhere-else, and I finally made the ding dang group.

I'd like to invite you all to ChronicallyChill/!

/ / / (thanks for the name idea!) / / / /

omg yay Im so excited!!! v

I have Lupus and would like to take part!

We have made one before,...still here, called ChronicallyChill. We get a lot of interest upfront, but then seems like real life gets in the way. I tried to keep it going, but was always the last one posting, and after never hearing from anyone, gave up.

[edit] Going to invite all to the Spooie Group. If you are interested, feel free to come check us out. The Spoonie Group is open to all who live with any chronic illness(s), and we would love to have you join. It is not an active group, since everyone has their good days, and not so good days. Come chat when and if ya feel like it. ❤
