There can understandably be a lot of doom and gloom when dealing with a condition like this, but let's make a space to talk about the nice things happening too!

It can be recovery/improvement related or it can just be a small or simple thing that's happened to you recently - a nice chat with a friend, a bird outside your window, a sweet memory you've been thinking about.

I got out in nature this week, real nature. I was surrounded by trees and fields and wildlife for the first time in years. It felt so healing. I'm still on a high from it :)

Hello all, I'm gonna keep this as succinct as possible but a few years ago I helped set up a workers-consumer hybrid co op in the UK. Myself and one other person are on the lease for the building it operates in. We were both founding members but have both left since due to burn out. We transferred our legal roles in the co op to new people. The new people have run the co op into the ground and have gotten us into debt as me and the other person on the lease are still legally responsible for the rent. We are able to transfer our lease over to someone else, but do we need the co ops permission to do this even tho the lease is not in the co ops name?

It's a horrible situation that I don't want to be in but we have no choice. I know the current people running it will not want to give the lease up, as they want to take on the lease themselves as a co op (no idea why, as, like I said - they're running the place into the ground and losing money/alienating the community with every passing day/) unfortunately they are power hungry and have no idea how finances work or care about genuine community engagement so this would be a terrible idea

For me I've been able to go on little walks for the first time in almost 3 years! The weather is nice here and altho in the past sun and heat correlated with worse symptoms I've just been slapping on some suncream and going out every day to eat my lunch outside, read, people watch and then walk a little around my block and I've been fine! My partner and I had two picnics this weekend! It's been amazing for my sleep and mental health. Very grateful to be at this point as someone who was bedbound for almost two years!

I've been doing puzzles on the NYT app for about 2 years now, maybe a little longer. I started when I was bedbound and really cognitively impaired. I personally believe doing this every day, however much I can do, has helped me relieve brain fog and relearn better cognitive function. You won't see improvements immediately but it's one of those things where a bit every day adds up. Just thought I'd share :)
