Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

CPAP gang!
It's also not strictly a weight or obesity thing; I was diagnosed while I was still in pretty decent shape. Weight gain exacerbates it, but you can still be in the "severe" category while twink-adjacent and in your early twenties. I don't recommend it. I was getting maybe 2-3 hours of sleep at a stretch, and kept having weirdly violent dreams just before I'd wake up half-suffocated. At the time, the only reason I found out was because while I was recovering from a surgery, every time they took me off oxygen and I fell asleep, my blood oxygen levels would dip into the low 80s and the monitor alarms would go off because I was "dying." When the docs got me dialed in on a CPAP at my sleep study, I didn't want to wake up. I was pissed that they only let me sleep with that on for maybe an hour. lol
oh yeah I'm also built like a twig, it's definitely not just a weight thing
