Minecraft for people with chronic illness
For the past 3-4 months, I've been playing Minecraft with others like me who have chronic fatigue, pain, brain fog, or isolating mental health struggles. We meet in a world called Second Haven. It's open to anyone (esp. friends and family) but designed to support people with chronic conditions.
It's been such a source of joy! We can run around, be creative, or go on adventures even while we're stuck in bed. It's like being able to meet up in the same dream.
We set our own pace and choose what we want to experience. One person built a vineyard on a hillside with an Italian villa. Another built a colorful market with a fairy tale mushroom the size of a skyscraper. Everyone is kind and understanding. I've been grateful every day that we have this shared virtual space.
