ME awareness day💙🦋

[fightcfsme-blog]

Here’s a bit of information about CFS/ME.

It is not severe depression. Please never tell me that CFS is another word for severe depression. Many people with CFS don’t have depression either.

It is not caused by a childhood trauma, and talking to a therapist and having ‘a cry’ (their words not mine) will not cure CFS/ME.

Doctor’s aren’t labelling it for the sake of labelling it. It is a genuine physical disorder that requires treatment.

I am not being lazy, I am suffering from a debilitating illness which has stopped me from doing the things that I love.

I can’t get over it by thinking more positive thoughts. 

It is not just in my head, and I am not making it up!

Before commenting about my illness and making unfounded remarks, do your research! It can be very upsetting and frustrating to hear remarks like this, especially when you hear it again and again.

But inwardly I’m like this:

(because sometimes I don’t want to be the ‘ill’ person. I just want to pretend to be happy and 'normal’)
