When I have the energy, I crochet, embroider, read, and write. It's nice to do something fun and relaxing when I can't do much else.

I also have CFS that badly, on my best days i can get out of the house for about 2 hous with no ill effect, a little longer if im using a wheelchair but other than that im mostly bedbound. I like playing video games and watching movies with my partner, we have a cat who will bring her toys to our bed to play, and I like drawing a lot.

same, its hard because I am good at hiding now awful I feel. I act bubbly lots as it makes others comfortable and I was raised with the motto /even if you are having a bad day, doesn't mean you can make other peoples days bad/ so I get asked to do chores and even when they are understanding about why i cant i can often tell they think I'm being lazy. When I'm not and if i act how I feel it starts arguing and I hate arguing as its tiring so I just keep smiling like nothings wrong

I used to love to read, but find it hard to stay focused. So now I listen to audio books πŸ“š πŸ™‚
