/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Graduated college, worked a few years as network admin. Wasn't overly social but had friends.
Got sick one day, ended up in the hospital a couple months. Ended up with chronic pain, wounds that wouldn't and being stuck on my back most of the day.
Years pass, friends get married and move away, pain continues.
No rl friends left, can't be up much more than an hour at a time without lots of pain even with pain meds. Going on 10 years now, I don't really see it getting much better.
I spend time with someone on an instant messenger, read and play games. Not afraid of going out, it just hurts when I do. After a decade of being alone most of the time, I don't really know if I could handle normalcy anymore.
