once ppl register that no matter how they suggest it, I will not, in fact, abandon someone I love bc it’s convenient - then I can only be doing it for nefarious motives (hers &/or mine) so I’m either EVIL or a SAINT but never am I a loving,

Depuis septembre, ma meilleure amie, Chloé, est alitée à cause d’un Covid long-Encéphalomyélite Myalgique/Syndrome de Fatigue Chronique (EM/SFC).
Cela fait un mois qu’elle subit la plus grosse rechute qu’elle n’ait jamais vécu. /1 De la situation: être alitée mais présente, capable de se mouvoir, manger, boire, se doucher, capable de sortir sur le balcon, me parler pendant des heures, faire de la philo - elle est passée à devoir rester allongée, sur le dos, dans le noir et un silence presque total. /2

Ahead of the big *Bhupesh Prusty reveal*, I listened to the @SessionsTlc episode that features him! Here is my quick takeaway 1/ @BhupeshPrusty Continued 2/

Since September my best friend Chloé is bedridden with long Covid & ME/CFS.

Today marks almost a month of her biggest relapse to date. She went from being bedridden but awake, present, able to move around to eat, drink and shower, able to lie down on the balcony outside 🧵 1/n able to speak to me for hours, to think about philosophy (that’s her job!) to having to lie on her back, in the dark and almost complete silence.

I pass her bed and force myself to not interact because it is too much for her. 2/n
