hi everyone!

i’ve had HSD for as long as I can remember, but it’s recently gotten much much worse and has brought an awful lot of fatigue with it, to the degree that I have a “working diagnosis” of ME/CFS.

this has meant i’m way more limited in what I’m physically and mentally able to do, and includes a lot of pain.

how do you explain to people close to you in a way that they can understand that this isn’t a “you should exercise more and then you’ll be fine” or a “well you wouldn’t be able to run 5 miles with that kind of thinking“ issue…. Like put a full stop to that in a way that isn’t to telling them to shut up lol.

I’m finding it really exhausting to be continually met with comments that very clearly suggest that this is a personal failure and I need some help with effective wording to stand up for myself and suggest how they can educate themselves

hi everyone! hoping someone can give me some recommendations 😊

currently battling the third heatwave this summer in the UK, and really in need of some comfy, breathable and soft bras / crop tops / sleeveless bra tops. I’d like to not have to layer with a bra underneath so looking for something that gives some support but isn’t going to be thick and make me really hot, like a high impact sports bra would.

I’m looking for something that I can wear around the house, or out on a quick errand but keeps me cool and comfy.

I’ve been thinking about Manners London but all the ones I’d like (thick straps, the right coverage etc) are always out of stock.

I’ve just ordered a sweaty betty mesh workout top to try out.

Any recommendations? I’m in the UK and need sizing around UK38GG
