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.

I know I’m not the first person with a progressive disease or disability to go through the process of grieving for their past selves, so why are all of the results for “disability grief mediation” about grieving the disability of your child.
