A community/support group for chronically ill people. While anyone is welcome, our number one priority is keeping this a safe space for chronically ill people.
This is a support group, not a place for people to spout their opinions on disability.
Be excellent to each other
Absolutely no ableism. This includes harmful stereotypes: lazy/freeloaders etc
No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.
No denialism or minimisation This applies challenges faced by chronically ill people.
No psychosomatising psychosomatisation is a tool used by insurance companies and governments to blame physical illnesses on mental problems, and thereby saving money by not paying benefits. There is no concrete proof psychosomatic or functional disease exists with the vast majority of historical diagnoses turning out to be biomedical illnesses medicine has not discovered yet. Psychosomatics is rooted in misogyny, and consisted up until very recently of blaming women’s health complaints on “hysteria”.
Did your post/comment get removed? Before arguing with moderators consider that the goal of this community is to provide a safe space for people suffering from chronic illness. Moderation may be heavy handed at times. If you don’t like that, find or create another community that prioritises something else.

2 guys looking out at hell and one says 'it is even worse than I imagined' there are people all over the place saying things like "must be nice staying home all day", "yoga cured my cousin", "you don't look sick", "just be positive", "we are all tired" Artist is Glenn McCoy
Nice username
So just like.... Every other day, but the floor is actually lava.
I liked Johnny the Homicidal Maniac's take on Hell. It was the same as living, except everyone was a shallow asshole. No nice people. They even chose to still use money even though they didn't have to.
So, I guess the clueless people are an loan from some other part of Hell, since they're not chronically ill?
They are tormenting demons
Usually they just look like demons in these things. Maybe looking like fellow humans makes it extra annoying.
Inspired from “the good place” where demons wear human suits to torment humans ;)
That one I'd chalk up to budgetary concerns. Cheaper to keep your human actors looking human, while drawing demonic demons costs the same.
Of course, Michael was pretending to be an angel, so he would have remained disguised in the beginning regardless.
