What about you?

Obviously I can't ignore the fact that l'm able to manage it so well because of my privilege.

I'm financially stable, have a relatively good safety blanket, and my online work and freelance schedule are flexible enough to work around it all.

If I had to work a 40 hour week to afford to live then I’d have no room to accommodate it never mind recover.

And thats how most people with this kind of thing have to deal with it, especially with the govt making disability assistance harder to get, & barely/not recognising disabilities like this!

Beware a month of travel and pushing past your exertion limit may chronic your fatigue more than normal.
It's like a month of Post-Exertional Melaise has been stored up & dumped on me the last two weeks.
It's no surprise, I did this to myself, but that doesn't make it any more pleasant when it hits.

Mostly just sharing to highlight / represent invisible disabilities.

I have Long COVID / Chronic Fatigue /
Post-Exertional Malaise

It'd be very easy to see my timeline and think im healthy & everything’s amazing all the time.

When I'm fine I seem "normal" but that's because l've done a load of work managing my energy budget, leaving early, adding multiple rest days into my calendar, & having very slow months during bad periods

I made an adapter to fit protected 18500 batteries in the #WHY2025 badge's unprotected 18650 cell holders.

Use at your own risk obvs
