My
recovery
from depression (whilst I had PVFS)
was down to having psychotherapy.
And
I can safely say that it's THE
BEST thing I've ever done.
ONLINE
PSYCHOTHERAPY
If
you're depressed, then I
urgently recommend that you try a
talking therapy of some sort.
If
you're housebound,
or just want to conserve your
energy and don't
want to travel to see a therapist,
then why not try online
counselling?
ONLINE
PSYCHOTHERAPY
There
are services out there that can give
you counselling sessions via
telephone, via email, or via 'Instant
Messaging' (real-time chat
sessions on your computer, where you
type instead of talk).
ONLINE
PSYCHOTHERAPY
I've
found a great online
counselling service that does
just that.
When
I first discovered this service, my
initial concern was that they might
not be opened-minded about Chronic
Fatigue Syndrome /Fibromyalgia (since
there are still some 'uninformed'
medical professionals out there who
don't believe that CFS/FM is real).
So
I contacted the online
counselling service about my concerns
and this is their reply:
"These
conditions [Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
and Fibromyalgia] are not considered
as relevant by some of the medical
community but our psychotherapists
are a little more open-minded!
I
have someone very close to me who
went through that horrific search
of trying to figure out what her
issues were... finally to be diagnosed
with Fibromyalgia*. So I
am quite aware of what this means
to sufferers.
The
issues we would address with any
client would be the mental health
ones related to their disorder.
Usually depression and/or
an overwhelming feeling of giving
up on living are the presenting
issues for people suffering
from chronic conditions.
And
that is what we address.
Guiding
clients out of that dark
place and into a place
where they feel strong enough
to tackle their physical problems."

Fibromyalgia (FM) is very similar
to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome /M.E.
/Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome, but
Fibromyalgia sufferers basically suffer
from more pain.
