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.

If you're into Minecraft or you want to learn how to play, go to secondhavenmc.org for more info or comment here. #CFS #Minecraft #Gaming #Fibromyalgia #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #MentalHealth #Depression

#Mindfulness and life

So I'm an avid gamer and got a new game recently and also been having a bad fibromyalgia flare so been using that to cope. Today I'm at the gym and all I want to do is game but this is a time for self care and mindfulness. I have to remind myself of that and remind myself not to push myself too much today for the flare doesn't get worse or start up again. I'm trying to stay positive and let myself know the gaming is okay and my coping mechanism.
I need to remind myself that not working out fully is okay and if I can't today and just use the hot tub/pool/steam room etc. that it's okay. Today is a day of mindfulness.
Any tips for the fibromyalgia and gym and anxiety?

Animal Crossing Weekend!

Animal Crossing: New Horizons version 2.0 is out this weekend, alongside its first (and last) DLC! Who else is jumping back in? This game was a lifesaver during the early days of #COVID19 . Things are still pretty rough right now in lots of ways, so it's a nice comfort to be able to return to my island of Witchhaven and see my animal friends again. ❤️

Jumping back in? Comment below!

Wholesome game

I found this really good game available for free in the Google play store. It's called play together. You join up with others in a virtual world and I've found the majority of people seem genuinely kind. You can do mini games, raise pets, drive vehicles, hold house parties, do missions, fish, and lots more. It's really helped me cope with my pain and fatigue during the day, I reccomend it.

Not liking that they're still dealing with MS in 2077, but a bunch more people are going to be aware of it - maybe the scientist who finds the cure is playing right now!
