Let me deconstruct this...
🧠 Getting a new diagnosis (POTS, diabetes, lupus) can be anxiety-provoking. If it you're very anxious about your illness, then yes, it's best to stay away from internet, online or in-person support groups, etc.
🧠 It's also NOT TRUE that people in support groups are obsessed with being sick forever. I've been seeing patients with POTS and comorbidities for 20 years (yes, date that 😂), and I have yet to meet one patient who didn't want to get better.
🧠 So @aladyvanished's neurologist may have been correct to advise her patient not to get involved in any online illness-related activities IF that patient had significant anxiety over illness. The neurologist was also incorrect to paint patient support groups in a negative light. Patient support groups can be an amazing resource of information, friendships and advocacy.
🧠 If you're a physician who doesn't know how to effectively communicate with your patients with complex chronic disorders, read our paper with @njsmyth on specific things to say and not to say to your patients.

@simplynvm I hope you’re able to get a refund! I bought the early access version on Steam and I received a refund after the second time submitting a CS ticket. So sad because it had a lot of potential. 💔
@Bucky_cm -Paloxite and Holy Water farming sites for our bases
-Smaller two person flying mount for early or mid game
-More skins for Pals that don’t have a skin yet
-Option to choose base radius shape(like square, triangle) besides circle
-Some way to shrink the size of Pals
@Stealth40k Love to see it! I probably won’t be playing on the Switch 2 since I play on PC/Steam but it’s really cool seeing a surge of new players try it for the first time. Plus the free trial is pretty extensive!
