Ngl, this game made me cry. For some reason, I decided to play this game today, and I think I did it at the right time. I'm literally still in the phase of medical tests, trying to figure out what's wrong with me. This game gave me hope that I'll have answers someday so thank u :')
This was so nice to play through, even though I don't have an illness I always feel like there's no point in going on while dealing with intense depression I have, I feel like it'll be a life long disorder for me, as it has been. Seeing her talk about her new normal was really sweet and touching.
Okay hi I'm like... 6 years late? But I was bored today & decided to play this game, since my friend recommended it to me.
As someone who has a partner (who's name is also Rae, so weird coincidence #1. ) that was recently diagnosed with Narcolepsy, after YEARS of visiting different doctors & being told that they just needed to fix their habits, when the game kept mentioning the tiredness & sleeping alot, my brain immediately went ".. is this narcolepsy?".
Also CUSHING SYNDROME MENTION!!! I have this, and I never thought I would see it in a visual novel.
Immediately going to go send this to my partner, but not tell them ANYTHING ( If you see this Rae, hi <3 ).
I've played this multiple times and it always hurts a little part of me. It's so hard when you have an illness that others just don't seem to see or understand
I can't really relate to them either, but I love graphic novels, they really let you feel inside the story and empathize with the characters and their situation. Also, I like it when they show experiences different from yours, as is the case here, it really puts things into perspective and that's something I love.
OUCH. the first doc just giving us birth control and antidepressants... so relatable. it was never "hm lets look further and do some blood tests just incase" it was always "it says here you've got anxiety, are you sure you're not just working yourself up until you faint?" or "you should see a gynecologist first, before we look into why you're fainting." also "well you're a little chubby, lose some weight first and come back if its still an issue." okay sure, and if i faint and crack my head open and die before that happens? it already almost happened, my friend caught my head before i hit a sharp desk corner. that was my second time fainting in only 20 mins. i nearly fainted in the middle of a road and he helped me get to a curb before i passed out. i legit just laid on the grass and lost consciousness. then he mentioned my body moved a little bit like i had a minor seizure so he rolled me on my side. which is like... UM??? thats concerning i fainted twice in 20 mins and potentially seized and yet when i went to urgent care the next day they said i was completely fine and to go home since my blood work was okay. like ????
thats the first time anyone has cared enough to help me through a fainting spell, my parents didn't believe me until it happened in front of them and they didn't say shit to my doctors. i fainted the first time at 14, and it wasn't until i was 18 that someone looked after me. that same guy also ran back to campus for tissues for my massive nosebleed when we walked to a park by college. it was not a normal nosebleed either it GUSHED. the ground and my hoodie were covered it was so scary, my nosebleeds are so severe and rare. but like... the point is that i had all these concerning issues that could've been unrelated but also could've hinted at something REALLY serious. i was also starting to have issues with my vision decling, and a nosebleed on top of the fainting and occasional migraines as well as my SEVERE mental health issues had me wondering if something was wrong with my brain. nobody has ever checked it to this day.
my pediatrician had me see a gyno before testing my blood for anemia (which i don't have). i haven't bothered getting a diagnosis, i've had too many other more urgent issues to take care of and i've learned to perfectly accomodate my fainting issue. they've never listened past the initial blaming of me and my habits/age/gender/weight/ literally anything else but doing some damn tests. i'm 90% sure its POTS, i even brought it up to doctor number 3 i told about the fainting and he legit went "Oh! that makes sense, i'll refer you for a tilt test." that was all it took, but then i had appendicitis and other issues that were more urgent so i haven't asked for a new referall since i see a different doctor now and its just a mess. so this is already SO REAL AND OWWW
edit: OH MY GOD, THIS IS SO REAL. CRYING WHEN YOU FINALLY THINK YOU HAVE IT FIGURED OUT BUT YOU'RE WRONG, I DID THAT SHIT TOO
also i got what seems like the best possible ending first, just by doing the opposite of how i handled my own issues lol
i'm mostly just managing symptoms on my own, i'm lucky that while some of my physical health issues still aren't diagnosed i do have an autism diagnosis so i can get support from the goverment so that at least living and working seems somewhat possible with my pain
hey, i played this game some time ago and today i also played and i saved the game but... i cant click the continue button? any idea on how i can fix this? cuz i started chapter 3 and lost so much progress...
This game is amazing I always find myself coming back to this game to play it is really comforting I remember playing this game in the beginning of 7th grade and 8th grade because I didn't have any friends so I would just find a place somewhere quiet to play. this game has such an amazing story line it always made me emotional and now I find my self playing this again in the beginning of high school now with a lot of friends and this game is still amazing!!!!

game shows reality. most medical professionals don't take things seriously at first, saying this as a medico too.

I love this game, it made me feel seen and reminded me I'm not alone and it can get better.
I love this game, its amazing to see how we feel about having a chronic illness put into words
SO COOL??
I liked playing this game and going through Rae's journey!
Me the entire time: Girl...GIRL?! GIRL!!!!! GIRL NOOO?!! GIRL YOU OKAY? THESE DOCTORS SUCK!!
When it asks the sleep or get up:..alright so if she get up she might pass out or something so sleep
I cried smiles yelled i loved this..
OMG THE HAMILTON POSTER IN THE BACK
You know it's bad when you're happy you have a tumor and burst into tears when they tell you it's not that.
women's health is so neglected. "i feel like i'm dying" "just your period!" like oh my god shut up
I hope it changes at some point, but nobody talks about it. Honestly, I doubt it will change, it's depressing.
yeah. humans kinda suck. sure we did pretty well with evolution. but our society isn't gonna get better. probably worse.
i went to the nurse at school today (i was nauseous) and he was like "are you on your cycle"
of course its a man saying that. parents honestly need to educate their kids. i don't care you think its gross. educate your kids.
the funny part is that i no longer have cycle lmao.
lol-
What happened to the play store version? Anyways, this is a good game.
i like d this game and relate to it alot. tho sadie was mad ableist she defs should have apologized not rae
I agree
I've played this multiple times and it always hurts a little part of me. It's so hard when you have an illness that others just don't seem to see or understand
aa i loved ittt!! 🥺🥺🥺

Help, the part when Sadie left really made me cry (I lose friends like, every yearT-T)
I think I'm starting to like visual novels now.. though I cannot relate to any of them...

Wow, is so sick how this is the reality for so many people (and I'm starting to think that for most people).
sorry for asking but ¿How are you now?
i wish you can find some REAL help or at last an explanation of what is happening.
This doctors are a f##### joke.
i'm mostly just managing symptoms on my own, i'm lucky that while some of my physical health issues still aren't diagnosed i do have an autism diagnosis so i can get support from the goverment so that at least living and working seems somewhat possible with my pain
I'm glad you can handle it, I hope you can do the same with the rest, eventually.
hey, i played this game some time ago and today i also played and i saved the game but... i cant click the continue button? any idea on how i can fix this? cuz i started chapter 3 and lost so much progress...

this whole game hits harder when you've experienced it first hand
This game is amazing I always find myself coming back to this game to play it is really comforting I remember playing this game in the beginning of 7th grade and 8th grade because I didn't have any friends so I would just find a place somewhere quiet to play. this game has such an amazing story line it always made me emotional and now I find my self playing this again in the beginning of high school now with a lot of friends and this game is still amazing!!!!
