I just want to vent a bit because i have been feeling very bad lately and im just so angry. This disease has cost me almost everything. I cant work anymore, i lost almost all my friends, i had to move back in with my parents, i cant leave the house and i feel like shit every day. I am only 23 i should be in the prime of my life but the disease stole that from me. And than people and doctors who know nothing about me/cfs have the audacity to comment on youre health and suggest things like: you have to get out more, maybe its just psycosomatic, try to slowly exercise more etc. I have a evaluation appointment in 3 weeks and i know theres like a 80% chance the doctor has no sympathy for me and blames it all on depression. I have been sick for 3 years i tried everything i was in the best time of my life when i got sick its not that easy. I want to work, i want to travel, i want to meet people, i want to exercise. Motivation is not the problem. I truly think there is hope, i believe its possible to optimise youre life with cfs in such a way that it is livable and i have strong hopes that future studies find a solution. But sometimes it is just to much. I dont really expect anyone to respond i just had to get all of this out there.
