this might not be canon, but personally i need furina to struggle a whole lot longer and harder with post-prophecy depression and mental illness. She's played the same tiring and painful act for five centuries, was constantly in a life or death scenario and had to hide her true self from the world the entire time and she won't just recover in a few years from that.
There's parts of her that will never ever be compatible with a simple human lifestyle, and parts of her that are irreparably broken. She isn't sure of her personality after everything that happened and the lie she had to live. She slips between personas and her archon temperament comes through like a defensive mechanism at any sign of conflict or trouble.
She's plagued by nightmares. Of the flood, of the trial, of the people closest to her conspiring against her behind her back, and of being found out in a million terrible ways. Of saying the wrong thing, making a wrong decision. Of being found out, of being found out, of being found out.
Lying or keeping a secret feels existential still. Being honest still feels life threatening sometimes. Putting herself first feels like putting both hands on a hot stove.
She doesn't live in the palais anymore, doesn't have to sit through trials anymore, but her heart and soul are still there. In her dreams she's still at the place she spent her entire life's memories at.
Yes, she can make new memories, but it'll take time. More time than she has, maybe, now that she's the closest to being human she'll ever be.
She'll never be human in the way the people around her are.
What sort of human has 500 years worth of memories after all? What human tells personal anecdotes and mixes up their centuries?
What sort of human can feel the absence of their divinity like it's a physical thing? A voice that will never speak to her again, or keep her alive? What human has no family, no childhood?
What human remembers so little, but still remembers death somewhere deep within?
She jerks out of sleep from it sometimes, gasping for air, and spends the rest of the night awake, almost frozen by fear. The flood is over, but it's hard to convince her racing heart that the danger is too.
Humans have entire family trees that go generations back, but Furina was put into this world a solitary creature, her blood heavy with sin ever since she turned human.
She owns a hydro vision now and doesn't know how to yield it, but the ocean still calls out to her some days. Sea creatures flock to her like they can smell she's not human enough.
She learns how to make little hydro companions for herself, so the darkness and emptiness of her apartment feels less ominous when she lies awake at night.
She can't turn her vision into a weapon quite yet, but when it rains the droplets seem to cling to her. She's watched them roll upwards along her arm, watched them gather in her palm like kin. She wonders if sea creatures flock to neuvillette in a similar way, or if his immense power makes them recoil. She wonders if elemental dragons can feel regret. Wonders if he, too, ever feels entirely foreign in that human body he was given. If he, too, lies awake trying to grasp faint memories of a past life.
She's extremely human in the way she's plagued by body pains from not being able to relax just one day in five centuries. The years catch up with her once she gets out of survival mode, and fatigue is a constant companion now. Sleep comes difficultly and getting out of bed was easier when the fate of a whole nation depended on it. On her. She's never lived for just herself before and some days she's not sure she wants to.
She did her duty and earned her retirement and the story turned out well, all things considered. She still has people by her side, some of them.
Still, she feels raw and tired and overwhelmed by the life lying ahead of her. As a human and as someone who will always be Something Else.
#you can have your perfectly competent fully healed hyper independent furina#if i can have my mess of a person multiply-disordered and trying her best furina#like i'm sorry but this babygirl can fit sooooo much ptsd and depression and personality disorder into her#that's a girl with lifelong chronic pain from not being allowed to relax for a day in five centuries#that's a girl who needs a teeth protector at night because she'd grind he#*them into a fine powder from all the tension she still holds#that's someone who gets so low so suddenly and loes all her joy in the matter of minutes#that's someone who wants to catch up on a lifetime of being human but is bone-deep exhausted#and crushed by fatigued#my disability beam went all over her like neuv's water gun#now she's sopping wet and shivering i'm sorry#genshin impact#furina#fari talks fic

lol. i think ive reached my limit.
#i just cannot take this torture anymore#ive been at the mercy of this horrible disease for over half my life now#imagine living knowing that roughly every 3.5 weeks youre going to experience the most excruciating pain of your life#along with crushing. usually suicidal depression. and such extreme fatigue and exhaustion that you easily sleep for 14+ hours a DAY#AND ITS ALL FOR FUCKING *NOTHING*#there is literally ZERO benefit or reason for me to be experiencing this#it is 100% extraneous#and even if you go to a dr and try to get treatment their only recommendation is 1) pain killers and/or 2) birth control#which both come with their own fucking share of unpleasant side effects#not to mention theyre not even 100% effective at stopping the problem in the first FUCKING place#and imagine even tho you have this DEBILITATING DISORDER society at large has decided it straight up DOESNT EXIST#to the point where REAL ACTUAL MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS will dismiss your symptoms#not to mention people in your life who dont understand or just straight up dont believe your disorder is real#good luck keeping a job or any other major commitments#considering you'll either be out of commission for like. 1 out of ever 4 weeks#or youll have to work/whatever WHILE experiencing said excruciating pain/crushing depression/debilitating exhaustion#not to mention the GI issues and the migraines and the brain fog and the fucking. full body aches#wanna go to a concert? or plan a vacation? or just. fucking. RELAX? you better hope its not during Hell Week or youre outta luck#and youve got roughly 30-40 YEARS of this to look forward to#maybe less IF YOURE LUCKY#im fucking over it#i cant take it anymore#im making an appt to see a dr and i WILL NOT LEAVE THEIR OFFICE until they have referred me to whoever i have to talk to to make this stop#my fucking fury at having to live like this has officially outweighed my fear of invasive procedures/recovery time/side effects#let along the torture that is navigating the medical care system as an AFAB#i just. i cant do this anymore.#i want to fucking LIVE#fuck

Having chronic fatigue syndrome and fibro is so weird.
Cause wtf do you mean I’m so tired I can’t move or think. BUT when I do fall asleep, I can’t sleep a full REM cycle so then I’m just in more pain.
AND THEN on top of that I’m at risk for sleep paralysis??? Like what?? Why don’t you just fix yourself??? Sleep normally pookie wookie please???
(I know that’s not possible, but it is funny).
God help me…
#fibromyalgia#chronically ill#chronic pain#chronic fatigue#cfs#pots#chronically fatigued#extreme fatigue#I’m just a sleep guy#but I’m not really sleepy#it’s more like bone crushing tired#hehehe#coping skills#coping with humor#i need sleep#im not sleeping#sleep paralysis

It makes me so beyond happy to see people enjoying Higuruma content. 😭 He deserves soooo much more.
#whispers into the void#safe to say that I might have a little crush (infatuation) with the fatigued lawyer#oh hiromi… the man you are

(Requested through dms) imagines for ppl with chronic fatigue
good request op! i have chronic exhaustion (unsure if it it’s the same thing exactly? have not gotten much info from psychs) so im surprised I haven’t written this before tbh
-ur f/o will always check in with you, and with your energy levels, and make sure you’re ok
-if you’re not, they’ll make sure to help and take care of you however they can- cuddles, hot drinks, reading to you, anything
-if you worry about being a burden, they will 100% put your mind at rest and assure you that they love you far too much to ever think of you that way
-imagine, one day you wake up and you can just tell it’s going to be a bad day. Ur f/o sits next to you on the bed and gives you the most gentlest loving smile and gently strokes ur hair for a minute while they talk to you before getting up and making you a hot drink. Then they wrap you both up in a blanket and wrap their arms around you and you guys just have a cozy day in bed :)
#f/o imagine#f/o imagines#imagine your f/o#sfw#romantic f/o#imagine your comfort character#imagine your fictional crush#f/o comfort#platonic f/o#comfort#self ship community#self ship#self shipping#self ship imagine#platonic or romantic#chronic exhaustion#chronic fatigue

I thought I could ask my grandma for help and she asked why I don't have a job 🥲
#she got a job offer before she left the college grounds and worked until she met papaw#he provided for her for the rest of her life#my uncle doesn't have a job either#he's used her money to get a cybertruck a vr headset a ps5 and a new chair#because he just has to have a new chair to put his feet up#can't use the other chair that has an ottoman right next to it#the chair is $500#she said that's practically nothing for a chair#I'm tired of complaining and i want to support myself#I'm so tired it's hard to get anything done#i don't want to see the doctor because it costs money and i don't want to be dismissed again#she says my sister doesn't call her and like. yeah. she's supported racism and my sister dates black men#i regret not talking to papaw again before he died so I'm still trying to talk to her#but man#it's hard#she has basically no concept of the world we live in anymore and gets most of her info from my conservative uncle and fox news#at a certain point. if it's going to make me cry. it's not worth it.#i feel like I'm trying so hard and not at all at the same time#i feel like I'm just complaining and not making anything better for myself so i just.... stopped talking to everyone I've been talking to#at the same time#'you can work' i am at a point where i cannot be awake for more than two hours without experience crushing fatigue#personal

fatigue is one of the worst feelings in the world because you want so so badly to do something, ANYTHING, but you can barely manage to get out of bed and it doesn't even look like you're trying when you're trying SO HARD to do what you used to be able to do....
#sitting upright drains me of energy#i feel like i'm sick#it might be my depression or it might be another symptom#like i've been fatigued but i could push past it#now i just can't#i can't do it#even if i try super hard#and that's crushing#i've always been told to just keep going#keep trying#i've always thought i could just keep going no matter what happened#no matter how tired i got i could push myself to go further#but for some reason it's not working#and that's frustrating

Anyone else feeling strangled by the grief of knowing they'll never make everything they want to due to the constraints of time and the human body lately?
#havijg an incrscibly normal day today#constantly feeling crushed by the never ending onslaught of ideas how does everyone else cope with this I always feel like im drowning#need to get faster and better immediately but the problem is I have to start slow and bad you understand#NEED to do more real practice#also think that burn out and fatigue playing tennis with my psyche for the past six years is probably not helping#wait actually that reminded me I have to make another appointment today thabks tumblr tags for remidninf me#I AM okay just stressed and tired hope everyone else is okay also#and if not I hope you feel okay soon then#sunny with clouds

I am miserable, but I'm pretty sure it's "just" a flare + allergies. I tested negative for covid, and I didn't really think I was sick-sick, but I wanted to check just in case. I mean, I guess I could still have a cold that isn't covid, but I don't think so.
Anyway. Cross your fingers for me because I want soup but I'm not capable of making any from scratch (spoon debt and I don't have ingredients), so I'm hoping I have something besides a can of some creamy variety.
#also cross your fingers i can stand long enough to microwave that shit of i do find a can that's acceptable 😭#between the ever increasing pain and the fatigue that feels like I'm being pulled/crushed down I'm struggling to be upright#am still hoping my books arrive today but i doubt it's happening

Something fascinating to me that is not lost on me as a 48 year old who’s been through about 4-5 major social sea changes in how Learning Disabled then ND identity were constructed. And boy do I have some thermonuclear takes on it, having been through the ringer in some earlier constructions of ND (and as someone identifiably LD when that term was still being used, then ADHD; my parents avoided having me labeled autistic because of the social and educational pipeline that it would have put me in during the 70s and 80s).
So, dyslexia had 5 minutes of fame in the 70s. (And there was some radical school reform discourse at that time, too.) This earlier thinking - focus on cognition and learning more than on other aspects of the ND experience - even affected the way that social problems were discussed within ADHD and later autism (as in, Asperger’s) because social stuff was still talked about in terms of “social learning disability.” (And I relate to a ton of my own experience more in terms of LD and cognition, than via the social obedience/conformity discourse that later entered the picture.)
But the problem is that if you place the focus on how kids are LEARNING, you have to address how you’re TEACHING, don’t you.
It’s a little too convenient to me sometimes that the focus shifted from learning disability, toward ADD/ADHD.
The only way to address massive amounts of learning disability is actual reform.
But ADD/ADHD could be addressed via existing medicolegal infrastructure.
Then, with the advent of Asperger’s, autism entered the picture.
It is fascinating to me that the big focus shifted from neuro differences whose main characteristic is learning disability, to those being very deprioritized behind the priorities of obedience (via ADHD) and then social conformity (via autism).
Now... let’s think about this, because the thing with ND experience and identity is that they sit at the intersection of culture, economy, and... politics.
#I really think lots of ADHD people and autistics who respond positively to stimulants... well they have different cognition#which would've fallen into the LD discourse in the 70s/80s#and what the stimulant is doing - is giving them a boost because THEIR BRAIN IS TIIIIIRED#that's exactly how I experience a ton of my shit tbh - crushing fatigue from having to deal with my different processing#in a one-size-fits-all mass-marketed world that probably very few people really can navigate

#i had such a bad night i woke up somewhere around 10 times throughout the night#and if i wake up even once a night i wake up feeling crushed and very fatigued#my head hurts i think this restlessness came from the unsuccessfull job interview yesterday#they made me feel like i am 99% being employed after the 1st interview wasted 2 weeks of my time#and their boss talked to me like 5 mins very rudely question that could've been asked first time when i was called and not waste the time#and she told me go get magister's degree if i ever want to proceed where i want to like..#that was said cery rudely and inappropriately like wtf do you care on my not even know when it will happen future hypothetical#plans when i came to get the job you're offering?? i am so sick of getting asked inappropriate questions like whom i am living with#when i plan to get married why am i not married do i want kids and etc#and then spewing nationalist stereotypes about the ppl of my ethnicity as a cherry on top#as if my ppl historically havent been through enough because this exact country getting gen*cided#or how do you spell that#forcefully being made part of the country because of the resources but still being seen by so many as outsiders in our own countty#*country#ok i got kind of carried away into history but this helplessness of mine angers me to no end...#and i just know if i wasnt the ethnicity i am i would've secured a job already but i keep stumbling upon these type of bigot employers#ok i guess now i see why i had such a bad night sleep..#tbd
