How
do you
see the world? Would you say you are a pessimistic
or optimistic kind of person?
If you saw a half-filled glass of water,
would you say it’s half-empty…
…or half full? 
If
you were positive in your outlook on life
before you became ill, and coped well in
a crisis, you are more likely to be able
to cope better with the emotional side of
ME/CFS or FMS.
But
if you tended to have a more negative outlook
on life before your illness, then you’ll
unfortunately be more likely to be affected
by depression during your illness.
“For
people who don’t cope as well,
the problems associated with having
ME/CFS may well tip the balance
and trigger any underlying susceptibility
to developing anxiety or depressive
illness.”

With M.E.’, p226 --
