That thing about not being able to swallow properly sounds awful. I feel like something similar happened to me when I was little, but I never knew if it was real or just my own paranoia haha.
And I totally get what you said about being sick and not even feeling like procrastinating… You think you’re going to take advantage of the time to watch movies or catch up on a million things, but in the end you just want to stare at the ceiling and exist as little as possible. I found your strategy against the automatic downvotes really interesting—like, I feel you thought of something super fair for others without forgetting to protect yourself. That says a lot about how you manage your spaces.
P.S.: You should write more oftennn, and honestly, I don’t know, sometimes I feel like writing heals more than any medicine (well, maybe not more than antibiotics, let’s not get crazy haha).
Get lots of rest and drink soup 💗
