hi,
I'm sorry you're feeling so bad. I'm not having a good day myself. Just so fatigued and aching. Had this 18 months and it's so hard to stay positive.
I do all the right things, pacing, try to sleep well at night, yoga Nidra practice. There's a good site called recoveryfromcfs.org that has a lot of good advice, also Emerge Australia and other state CFS groups.
But despite that, when I crash without warning or really knowing why it is really discouraging. I have to remind myself that I have some days that are relatively good, and try not to wish that I could be back to normal.
no, you are not alone, but you do need help. Can your GP give you a referral to a Medicare rebated psychologist. They only give ten sessions, but it is a start. Some bulk bill, and it would be good to find one of those. Perhaps ask beyond Blue for advice on this?
its usual to get depression with this illness, and you need to address that.
Warmest wishes.
