Thanks for this episode. I really enjoyed it. I used the word alien to describe how I felt looking at 'mundane' life through the windows of a taxi last week on the way to a hospital appointment. I also relate to Dov's experience of not having the energy to speak to a neighbour if you go outside. It's such a conundrum! But at the same time, craving the interaction. Living with ME requires continuous cost-benefit analysis.
ive been housebound for 20 years, i have know idea what the outside world is like anymore.. my wife laughs when i try to guess prices of things nowadays... i so miss ust meeting friends and doing things without having to think how it will make me feel... love your chats
Could you do a video on finding a meaning in life please (or something around that topic)? I really struggle to rebuild meaning and purpose. I know this is different for everyone and is a very broad topic but I'm sure there will be lots of thoughts people have in common? 😊 I'd love to hear what makes other people feel like their life is worth living for. (sorry if this sounds very dark 😅)
Episode suggestion - you could interview someone who got ill at a younger age. This is what happened to me and it really disrupted my life. Didn’t go to high school but I did take classes off and on at the local community college. I feel like in some ways people get stuck psychologically at the age they got sick
On what I call Rip VanWinkle moments - I had a 6 month period where I felt much better so I tried to make some friends. When I went to gatherings, everyone was taking pictures all the time! (I don't like being in pics.) I had no idea how big that change was!
A brilliant and important episode Dov and Dan, thank you!

Important topic! Thank you for covering this.

@@Post-ExertionalMayonnaise thank you!!!
Good idea for a topic. I have to keep reevaluating how I find meaning as my capacity diminishes. It’s really hard.
I’d like to pick out my own fking apple….. I need a tshirt with that on it
