Party for Chronic Fatigue having friend

or "low stimulation party"

Hi, i have idea for a type of party

Idea is inspired by @ iamolivergeorge_ (Oliver George) (on insta) - insta blogger with chronic fatigue, who tells a lot about life struggles of people with such medical condition

One of most often mentioned struggle of chronic fatigue is the feeling of not being included in adventures and loosing friendship connections

So, i have an idea how you can make your chronique fatique friend feel validated and included

Idea is very simple:

it is very hard for people with chronic fatigue participate in high-energy-taking activities: as, for example - long walks in tow., for many walking isn't an option at all

or - overstimulating activities like dancing with loud music in club all night

So this is "low stimulation party" is about: to build the party, with Chronic Fatigue friend, around low-energy-taking and not-overstimulating, but calming and relaxing activities

for example, party can be just all you laying for couple of hours on everything soft you found - blackets pillows, and having some very tasty snacks (comfort food at best) and (non аlcо) drinks like tea or soda. juuuuuuuuust chilling

no phones, especially with sudden loud tiktoks sounds.

no watching movie (someone find it relaxing, but for me it takes so so so much energy - i need to keep the plot in mind, all the "what author wanted to say", crying at dramatical moments, listen that characters says, etc. to already exhausted person by chronic fatigue i assume it feels kind of same)

maybe music - but very depends, if you will manage to find some calm playlist or smth - cool, but be very careful about music choice. you goal here is not "hey lets choose all our fave cool music!" but "let's make our friend feel relaxed and calm in our company"

you can bring plushies, you can make food for party yourself, you can maybe do some calm things like crocheting, stimming toys, build a big comfy pillow tower for your friend (but test construction first for comfort - we tried with very long ago lover, it was cute but spine was hurting) etc - feel free to add to the concept

just remember the core goal of the "low stimulation party" - it is made for friends with chronic fatigue to have time in friends company, feeling calm, relaxed, validated and - included

The world put not accessible surroundings in cities. Put Love and "you are valid and we want you with us, in our friends group. you are important and loved" in your friendship

"Well, to go into space you have to pass several tests, not only mental, but also physical. There is no space tourism yet, so not everyone gets to go.‘ Jose shrugged, sipping his coffee. ’It's for safety, but many complain."

‘It seems unfair.’

‘Some people think so, but I don't know. It's a different world. I decided to have a hearing implant not to go into space but to have a better quality of life.’ He watched a person with a green guide cane walk slowly by, their eyes met and he smiled, the person smiled back. ‘I've encountered situations where the implant shuts down and I'm really in danger. At the same time, similar things have happened to people who have prosthetics or some other type of disability. It's dangerous here too, but space is unknown.’

‘I understand, but why doesn't everyone use prosthetics or something to improve their quality of life?’

The human shifted uncomfortably. "Well, there are factors. Some people can't, although we're improving in that area. It's the year 3080 and we're still struggling with this, but it's also the person. I was born deaf, as was most of my family. I remember that many decided not to have an implant. They considered changing for others to be a mistake. I'm not sure, but there's a whole large community of deaf people who simply choose not to have an implant."

‘That sounds complex.’ Skul finally decided to look around. Being in a ‘Disability Assistance Centre’ wasn't his idea when he came to Earth, but his friend had said he had something to do. There were many different types of people, some alone, others accompanied by a person or animal, some, mostly young people, seemed more nervous about moving around or where to go in the building. Skul assumed they were new to this place.

ok so whenever I'm reading something and the character is standing but they're about to get into a long conversation (long being like more than a couple minutes) I always imagine them sitting down in some way, even if it's not written because that's what I would do. I have a hard time imagining that people can just...stand for a whole conversation without getting uncomfortable with the pain and sitting down (or at least like moving their legs around or thinking about sitting down)

when I achieve something it's the autism. when I fuck up it's my fault. when I struggle with talking to people its me being a dick. when I struggle to socialise I am being lazy for not attempting to "overcome the autism".

I get PIP (Personal Independence Payment) which is used for a variety of reasons but I get it because of my disabilities. Because I am 16 and because my DWP payment was going to expire I applied by myself for PIP. keyword being "myself" for the first time in my life I was filling in a form about my disabilities from my perspective. even when my parents applied for my DWP they downplayed how bad my autism was as they wanted to give the image of a "normal boy" which means I have no idea what they put in all I know is that when I filed in the form again I got awarded PIP.

I also have an access card which mum applied for and thanks to some new rules the "difficulty with crowds" symbol has been removed from my card. Which means at some point I need to be on the phone explaining to them that my parents were dumbing down my struggles and that in fact I'm worse then they were originally told...

another issue with my PIP is that before it was going into my own account it went into my parents joint account meaning it was not being spent on me... it was mainly being spent on my sister. now it is in my account (which my dad had access to) he wants me to invest it all in Tesla... he has access to my account and keeps talking about about this.

I also need to "get a new brand image for collage", because I look "like one of those" in this instance anyone who is queer...

both of my parents are radfem and very very much think they are on the "right side of history"

so I'm stuck, I have PIP but can't use it, I can't come out, I'm both disabled and not disabled, and look "like one of those" even tho I only wear ETC branded T shirts and cargoes.
