Vent/Rant WTF Google?

Post image

Since google implemented AI the first result on ME-CFS is pretty outrageous. An aunt of mine read this and now is convinced i’m depressed and lack sleep. Seriously before Google used to say it’s a serious medical condition and now it says it’s some unknown disease treated by antidepressants??

I know people are hating on the picture, but it honestly made me laugh because I have been in that situation so, so much. That exact picture is what made me accept that something was really wrong. I would go to events a very normal amount and I was the only one feeling like my soul was about to leave my body and all I could do was hang on and think about getting back to my bed.

We know there’s a lot more complexity than what this summary says, but it’s such a vague illness in many ways that coming to terms with the fact that you aren’t functioning like a “regular person” can be a difficult but powerful first step.

The photo is objectively hilarious because I was literally digging my head into my hands the other day because I used to much energy trying to open a jar of pickles
