Hey man, sorry to hear that, I don't celebrate Christmas but happy holidays nonetheless. What is Gillain-Barre Syndrome exactly? I could just Google it but I've never heard of it and it seems like you want company :)

>>716568447
so what's the Syndrome?

>>716568766
It's basically a sometimes-rapid random neuropathy. I lost use of my limbs and neck at first. I'm still in physical and occupational therapy to this day. Can walk about 4 or 5 steps now. Hands are at about 80% dexterity. Auto-correct is a lifesaver

>>716568995
That sounds really fucked up man, at least you can play games all day right? With a controller

>>716568995
sounds like it sucks man
how do you spend your time?
actually what I'm really curious about is how do you manage jacking off (no homo)

>>716569177
During the day I usually do PT & OT and then listen to podcasts. At night I browse a few boards on my phone and read shifty sci-if books

>>716569328
but what about the jacking off?

>>716569746
Neuropathy made my duck useless. I still get morning wood and shot but I can't feel my dick

>>716570718
Dick*

>>716570718
damn dude, I was scared it was going to be a downer answer like that

I could still jerk off if I wanted to, I just wouldnt feel much of it lol. I still like porn and shit

Sorry to hear :(

When was then last time you went out and hung out with people? Also are you ever in pain?

>>716571261
oh that's good
do you feel like you've become more enlightened?

>>716571377
Neuropathy pain was bad before I had Gabapentin, now it's manageable. If I get lonewly I go on /b/ or another board or I roll my chair out back and watch my dog walk around the yard :)

>>716571572
Honestly, no. The only thing I've gained from all of this is the ability to smile when you're sad, ignore pain in the morning and a sense of paranoia. I always feel like because I'm a cripple I won't be able to defend my grandma, dog and home from a burglar.

>>716571796
that must feel pretty bad, anon
I came here for the lolis, not the feels

>>716572184
Go to the catalog and search "ylyl" or something. I am sorry /b/rother

>>716572433
those threads are more depressing

>>716572580
Because of the bananas? Lol

>>716568447
I lost my grandpa to Gillain-Barre and I know how shitty that disease is. Just stay strong anon, and if you can't do it for you, do it for me plz.

>>716573241
I am beating the slightly bad odds. I'm am very sorry about you're grandfather and I've never met anyone else with GBS. Thank you for the kind words.

>>716568447
Damn man.
I don't know what to say, probably nothing could make you feel better.
Just have this virtual hug, it's all I can do.

Honestly it does mean a lot because since I helped my grandma to bed at 4pm, I haven't spoken to anyone besides yall. It's 12:28AM or 00:28. Thank you.

>>716573481
really the least you could do is post something good for OP, don't you think?

>>716573627
What's with the picture?

>>716573633
No need, just interaction is enough for me now days. I'm just glad to be part of a conversation for part of the day.

>>716573627
Fuck, I'm feeling bad anon.
But even if it's not much I'll stay here talking with you.

>>716573725
It's my toolbox. I've been using it everyday for finger dexterity. I open it, remove all the junk, mess with the tools, and put it all away. Daily.

>>716573795
No need, I was expecting the thread to die after the first post. Everything since has been a lot more social activity than I'm used to. Thank you, but feel free to go on about your day/night

>>716568447

Why did your ex dump you while all this was happening?
Why have your friends all stopped talking to you?

What a bunch of fucking terrible people...

>>716573922
I got nothing to do, anon. Just woke up, will get coffee and a cig soon, but nothing important. So I'll stay here.
Can you believe I'm crying rn?

>>716573931
My ex dumped me because I was (in her words) a 5/10 guy who became a 1/10 when he became a cripple. As for my friends, I don't blame them. I had to move 75 miles to my grandma's place when I got out of the hospital and rehabilitation center after I lost my place. I never expected them to come visit or anything. But I was at least hoping for a text or something today.

>>716573814
Have you noticed improvement from it?

>>716574035
Don't cry /b/ro. I don't cry anymore :)

>>716574118
holy fuck what a bitch

>>716574145
I used to not be able to change channels or dial numbers properly on the phone. A few weeks after I started messing with my dumb toolbox I was able to call folks. Not that I need to.

Freakin people sometimes. But if the "friends" are that shitty then i suppose they aren't worth the time either. We all have(have had) "friends" like that. And your toolbox gave me the feels.

>>716574204
She made her choice. Sure I cried in the hospital for a week but I decided that an ex shouldn't dictate my life, even if a shitty syndrome is

>>716574199
I do. And hearing of people being lonely is the thing that makes me the saddest. I'm not that social animal, but I have a loving family, and those three trusted friends who'll never leave me alone.
So I'll just give you another hug. Wish you could feel human contact through this.

>>716574287
hey being able to use the phone makes you better able to take care of your home, it's something for sure

>>716574399
That bitch wasnt worth the time either.

>>716569328
you should read some good sci fi books

>>716574427
you're right, but she's still a cunt

>>716574529
All your previous "friends" have your number atleast? Maybe some of them would have tried to call you? I know its a shitty excuse "ohman sorry bruh didnt have ur contact on me new phone" but meh

>>716574529
That's why I keep the phone next to me. Believe it or not but typing on this shitty prepaid is something I am VERY proud of.
>>716574541
She helped me bring a beautiful boy into this world, even if I've never seen him in person
>>716574555
Any suggestions?
>>716574449
<3 <3 <3 I appreciate everyone in this thread

>>716574765
I appreciate you.

>>716574709
I've tried to keep it in the back of my head with thoughts like "They probably got a new phone and doesn't have my number" or "He/She is busy with school/work"

>>716574765
Oh, and may I suggest the Metro 2033 series? More post-apoc than sci-fi tho. Read the first, halfway through the 2nd.

>>716574552
Yeah its Christmas.
And after almost a decade i got my small family to get together at my new home, even got a proper tree and all the lights. Pulled out all the stops with christmas foods and gifts. I suppose i had some moments of bliss this christmas after i dont know how long.
But now, during my early mornin poop im havin the feels. Feels weird.

>>716574765
what are some books you've liked?

>>716574765
Well what sci fi have you enjoyed?

I kind of liked the first Ringworld book. Hyperion is pretty based. Some Heinlein stuff is nice (All You Zombies, Door Into Summer), and John Varley's short stories are 10/10.

>>716574118
your ex is a terrible person crippleanon. Keep doin' what you're doin'. :)

>>716575051
I am going to check the series out, I have nothing better to and I love post apocalyptic stuff
>>716575068
You should be proud of yourself. You can measure your success by the people around you. I'd if anyone has said it to tou, but I'm proud of you.

>>716574765
I dont know what hurts more. Knowing a beautiful boy that is a big part of your essence is out there, growing up to be someone completely different.
Or growing up without the chance to even know about or meet your parent(s)

>>716574765
how old are you?

>>716574765
>typing on this shitty prepaid is something I am VERY proud of.
you should be, anon, you've had to overcome shit most people will never even have to worry about

>>716575318
too fucking sad for me

>>716575155
Anything HORROR or SPACE.
>>716575164
Took a screens hot for future reference, I will check themail all out.
>>716575188
I used to think she was terrible but now I understand.

>>716574910
Do you have any groups or things like that for others with your symptoms? Might not be much but human contact is important from time to time

>>716575318
When we signed the adoption papers, we chose the part that allows him to know our names and find us, should he choose to once he's 18
>>716575388
26
>>716575433
Yeah, but at the same time, I have a roof over my head, food and clean water, and a bed with a box spring now
>>716575451
Don't be sad..

>>716575278
Well I'm the crybaby anon.
If with my suggestion you can enjoy yourself for the duration of the book, I'll be happy :)

>>716575487
When I was in the hospital there was a cripple group who used to meet up. They were called "just believe"or some shit. I stopped going when we had to talk a b out our feelings

>>716575653
you're a good person and you deserve happiness

>>716575948
No, just because I'm a crippleasure who had it tough the last few years does not make me a good person. I hope I'm a good person, but that's not for me to decide.

>>716576010
cripple* damn this auto type stuff

>>716576010
nah you are, I can tell

inb4 you're secretly a serial molester or something

>>716576064
No criminal record, unless you include a speeding ticket from back before my Social Worker told the DMV to take my lisence away (gotta love the DMV)

>>716575278
Also how the fuck do you manage to be so gentle and positive with people after how bad you've been treated. You deserve much better than the people you knew anon.

>>716568447
Everybody dies alone anon.

It will be less painful for you. Maybe you can even skip a few trips. Maybe it will add a few.

these are all space but idk much about horror:
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
Red Shirts by John Scalzi
Carve the Sky by Alexander Jablokov (out of print but so great)

>>716576157
I feel sorry for myself everyday, then I literally Saybrook myself "man up" and I distract myself with books, /b/ or my toolbox

>>716576150
damn, I guess I misjudged you, criminal scum

>>716574765
Hey dude have you read Peter F Hamilton? Night's dawn is where I started with him.

It's quite good, hope you like differing factions of trans humanism.

>>716576163
Who knows?
>>716576226
Thank you anon, these book suggestions and the kind words in this thread are 10X more than I was expecting this Christmas

op you seem like a chill mofo. i wish you the best of luck with everything

>>716576232
Do not feel sorry for yourself. You are still true to yourself i hope. You still find ways to better yourself and overcome the stupidly unfair hand you've been dealt recently.

>>716576370
Also;

The man from mars.

Read it maybe, imo you'd like it a lot. If you check out piratebay it has a huge sci-fi audiobook collection. The man from mars should be in there, if you're interested.

I love you nigga.

>>716576324
I chuckled out loud
>>716576364
Is that the guy who did A Quantam Murder or something like that? If so, I will revisit him on your suggestion. I got nothing but time :)

>>716576558
Yep, he did Quantam Murder too.

I actually haven't read that series from him is it good? I can only speak from what I've read (Night's Dawn Trilogy) but he's great imo. I love space opera.

>>716576445
I very much appreciate it
>>716576472
It may be stupid but I don't know about unfair. There are kids getting limbs blown of in other countries (or so I hear)
>>716576520
No offense, but what is crown meat, anon?
>>716576528
I'm gonna check it out. I've taken a screenshot of all the book suggestions in this thread (and I'll gladly take more)

Tell your duck to join the thread, we can make him feel better. Perhaps some quack, or some other stimulant.
