It's about an 11-year-old girl who gets ME/CFS, told through a haunted house story. Finished the audiobook yesterday and loved it. The author has been diagnosed with me/cfs herself, which explains why it's described so very well.

Really recommend it if you haven't come across it yet - I know it's written for kids/YA but it's just so well done. And there's no simple "oh you're cured" ending either.

Are you guys the same? I just eat because I know I should eat. There's also nothing I particularly want to eat, just lots of things I know I don't want to / can't have.

(I'm severe, no MCAS)

TLDR; keep thinking about dating women but can't because of illness

I've only ever dated men, but over the past few years I've thought a lot about my sexual orientation. (I'm in my early 30s)

At first it was more like an imaginative exploration of possible sexual attraction to women - I've had a couple of girl crushes (though never acted on them) and always found women more attractive than men. More recently I've also come to challenge my heteronormative beliefs more and more, to a point where I currently can't stop romanticising being in a romantic relationship with a woman.

The thing is: I've become very ill this year and it looks like a chronic illness. Don't want to go into too much detail here, but I am absolutely not in a position to date or even meet anyone.

So ... how can I know? I guess it doesn't even have to matter, but it kind of does to me, and I think a lot about it.
