@longcovidrockstar: Based on a true story. One of the many difficulties with acquiring a disability, a diagnosis, any loss, or grief, is that it changes your relationships. You realise what they were based on, what the conditions were, and peoples capacity for change. We often don't realise our survival mode until we are in crisis. And not everyone's survival mode complements each others. It's an ongoing grief, discovering and learning g the layers of change and loss, but also one of a horrible kind of liberation. You are able to make space for those who truly honour your authenticity. As long as you let them. Big love, as always, to those who are still here. I'm so glad you've come 💦 VIDEO DESCRIPTION: Amy is a white woman with pink hair, gold rimmed glasses and silver rings. She is wearing a black cardigan and speaks to the camera. When "she's actually like this" she is lying on the sofa. She plays the other characters Grace and Ego, who stand behind her, leaning on walking sticks. Her Grace is in a denim shirt on the left hand side of the camera, and her Ego is on the right side, in a tight black dress and gold hoops and dark lipstick. #LongCovid #LongCovidRecovery #grace #ego #MentalHealth #Relationships #mecfs #disability #SelfLove

Yeh this isn't a friend. A friend visits and brings Nandos with them.

I lost a friendship of almost 40years because I could not longer push trough and she didn't like or believe my very real illnesses it broke me for a while and I did think of trying to keep on pretending I was OK she knew I was sick all along but as long as she didn't see it she could cope 💔

"I am done risking our health for the comfort of others". 😱. You put it in words.

Your energy is precious and should be poured into yourself. If you lose people whilst prioritising yourself, then that is an indication of your boundaries doing their job! 👌❤️

I've had to become ok with being called selfish but not just friends but also family because they don't want to see me sick and refuse to see how hard it really is 😐

She’s missing out on quality sofa and takeaway time with her mate - her loss, and hard as it is, now you know she’s not worth your limited and precious energy.xx
