[AwakeningtoMe]

Well finally someone who understands what it feels like to have Chronic Fatigue. It annoys me when people say I'm lazy when I've accomplished so much in my life..but it's sad that i've had to suffer from it really bad in the last 3 years to the pain and watch everyone I love turn their back on me. It's been hard because I've had it around 17 years, since i was around 16 (or maybe before it..but that's when the doctor first identified it). But Thank you!

Have had CFS since last year today! Feel depressed and just want to be my old self again. CFS has even effected my appearance and confidence. At school I feel even for paranoid and I just want to never go to school and curl up in a hole and cry! Thank You for this video it makes me understand I'm nit alone however! Thank You. xx

I've had M.E for about a year now. I had to leave my A levels and like the majority of others with M.E, spent the virtually all of my year in clinic or hospital. I'm still not better, but I'm back to school for one lesson, and ever time I go, it kills me. Its caused me to become depressed and I have always been a happy positive person, despite anything thats happend. It's amazing how many people tell me to "man up" everyday

I guess all we can do is just stick in there and hope for the best. Hugs

Hai,

Here is a big HUG from me! I have it to and not one day is the same,.

I lost my job and so on.

By the way... that worktraining is in another town. How am I to get there, if moving through the house is difficult?

[ChibiYotsuba]

A jobcoach actually told me today that, even if I feel like I can even barely move through the house, I should still try to come to the worktraining. She doesn't want to allow me to call in sick then. She believes that I can overcome this by just moving my boundries by simply doing it, even if that puts me in risk of a hyperventilation attack. This jobcoach is supposed to help people with psychological and bodily disfunctions getting a job.

I got so frustrated today!

One lady said to me "Harden Up" and she said it looking upset and angry at me. Far out the amount of crap I have had from people who don't understand. Oh you just have depression they would say to me, you are just lacking in vitamins take a B vitamin and you will be all better they say to me, not a damn clue what they are talking about, they think everything can be fixed easy and that I can do things like run like everybody else. Human beings can be very cold!

I have had M.E for 1 year and 1 month now it is horrible you can only do things for so long before you get wiped out with fatigue. I was on a medication that made me throw up for 3 months. It destroyed my immune system and I now have M.E. I am only 22 years old and my life has just begun, I can pretty much throw it all down the drain now, I am screwed.
