Salutations Everybody!
As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
"Disability" is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
anyone have any advice making friends while immunocomprimised, i've basically run out of pre-covid friends that talk to me on a regular basis and im getting really lonely now. I've got no idea where to even begin
Maybe you can try to find local support groups? In my area there’s a network for people with chronic illnesses which I want to join when I feel like I have the energy for it. I think it’s easier to connect with people who have a similar disability, because they understand the importance of masking etc.
as another immunocompromised person who has also run out of pre-covid friends that talk to me on a regular basis, I wish I had advice to give you, but I’m in a very similar place myself. I am clinging to anyone I have left for dear life, online or otherwise, and trying to figure out what space I can carve for myself in this hell world.
Have you looked for covid conscious groups in your area? If they exist they may have something.
