Hey, fellow bed rotters!
I spend most of my time lying on my back, watching videos on my laptop which is about 30 cm above my belly. My head rests on a pillow which also supports my neck a bit. It is propped up so that I can watch the screen properly.
After a few months my eyes started to go bad. I have a hard time focusing on things. I chalked that up to staring at close screens all the time. But sometimes my vision would go back to normal.
It goes back to normal when I lie on my stomach for a while. I think it’s because I straighten my neck and maybe because I relief pressure on my skull. I was also able to achieve that when lying on my side and straightening my neck.
Unfortunately I can’t hold the “good” positions for too long.
Does anyone else have a similar experience?
Have you considered not doing the thing that causes this?
The same way I considered suicide.
What???
Meaning I thought about the abstract concept but have naturally dismissed them as ridiculous notions.
Or if you want to read it differently, if I take away the only form of entertainment left to me I might as well kill myself.
I meant stop laying in that position while watching the screen. Why the melodrama
Because other positions are not viable. I’m not stupid. I honestly thought your comment was a joke.
It was not. Usually the best solutions are simple. How are other positions not viable?
I can’t be bothered explaining the intricacies of my illness and living situation in enough detail.
You just broke three of this community’s five rules, and I’d like you to feel bad about that. So go fuck yourself.
Thank you?
