When
you have ME/CFS/FMS, you are often not well
enough to go out much (if at all) –
even to the local shop.
Sometimes
even talking on the phone takes too much
of the precious little energy
you have.
You
sleep at odd hours and sometimes you sleep
all the way through the day, which means
people often can’t reach you unless
they ring you in the middle of the night!
Staying
in touch with friends becomes more and more
difficult as the disabling physical
symptoms of CFS or FMS take over.
In
fact, many sufferers become isolated
from their family and friends for
that very reason.
And
the loneliness experienced
by many sufferers can be extremely
depressing.
But
it does not have
to be that way!
Your
DEPRESSION FIGHT doesn't have to be done
alone!
“As
a CFS sufferer myself
(who is largely housebound), I found
a wealth of support and friendship
online via CFS and FMS chatrooms.
The
great thing is that the people you
meet on there know exactly what you
are going through…
...because
they’re going through it too!
I
remember feeling relieved and amazed
at the number of times I’d hear,
‘oh yes, I know that feeling/problem
all too well’ from fellow
CFS and FMS sufferers online.
In
fact, many of these have gone on to
become some of my dearest friends
– and they live all over the
world!
So
I really recommend getting involved
in the CFS, FMS online community!”
