The weight of living with chronic illness is getting to me again. Could use some empathy from others who understand and won't pressure me to explain what's going on (a dozen small triggers maybe), turn it into their problems, or tell me it will get better or the worst, "Stay strong."

We've all been here so here's a place where we can sit with each other.

ok, i understand more about how it is with you now. The hyper empathy must make watching most things difficult.

I've been watching a short 8 hour Thai drama about gay men, relationships and letting go. It's beautifully done, simple and very real. Only have an hour left and I'm rationing it out so I don't finish too quickly. Don't know if it would be ok for you, the awkward bits don't last too long and the characters support each other through it all. Moonlight Chicken, on youtube.
