Summary

Living alone with ME/CFS, this person had seizures almost every time they had a social interaction, because communication was too complex for their brain to handle, and severely limited social contact. Limiting visitors to the people they felt most comfortable with helped a lot, as did choosing those who drained their energy least. They asked people to send postcards and small gifts, and touching objects chosen for them brought comfort.
