@@elainestewart8191 but you know how they are ignorant and don’t know what to do. I had been doing good thing, I gave so many ppl advice to how to get through mental health, I help animals . I get zero $ from it but sometime I just wanna be good to ppl. But this cfs KZbinrs will never wanna give you even one tip of comment unless I throw them $8000. Yea it’s business but if they truly care it’s not big deal just give one tip of advice? I asked cfs health too and all they said if watch free course like I already done that. Believe me no one really wanna help you. They just wanna make money. Like if you can actually reply message to sell all the stuff then just fucking tell me what I should do. I stay really positive for last 2 years of mostly bed ridden, I try to take all those tips from YT aply to it. Not everyone can afford $8000 when we already spend so much money. This guy just wanna take his time back he missed that’s why he keep parting . I really lost hope in humanity.

I opened my computer this morning to doom scroll. Which I do every morning through this 15 day debilitating crash. I happened to look at my emails first and clicked this on. The video could not have been more timely. I will take my doom scrolling/Dr. Google off my to do list and now focus on recover, positivity & refocusing my thoughts. Thank you for this encouragement!

Great advice! I had ME, with PEM and all, for years. Then got a severe case of Covid, and slowly recovered mostly after that. But along with it years of lifestyle changes, removing toxic food and people, and investigating emotional issues I had. I have also invested some time into research of autism, and I’m now pretty sure autism could have been a part of the whole. Autism is NOT what we are taught, autists can seem 100% normal like anyone else, because of masking, may need time alone, struggle with brainfog and fatigue, can get long term fagigue as well. Basically a whole lot of overlap. Same with cPTSD. The diagnosis doesn’t really matter since the same health-focus is needed, but I really think a mental shift is needed for a lot of people.

@vidark.6301 11 күн бұрын

@@tanyawieczorek6603my anxiety has skyrocketed and I think this was part of the ME-fatigue for me, that I didn’t recognize my own emotions well. Btw I got better after Covid, I think it may have been because I didn’t ear for around ten days or so. Or, it could have been Covid itself that changed something in my brain. It was pretty intense at least.. anyway if you haven’t tried fasting, I’d look into that, as if you feel very much better during fasting it could be something to do with metabolism. I like my asd, but oh so strugglesome as well. But the cfs/ME parts can be treated. PEM can come back, but who knows what is what!

Hi Toby…..what you say so resonates with me. But, like so many others in this position, it’s a personality trait to not be able to leave well enough alone and go with the flow…..we have to try to fix ourselves. Thankfully, I am learning my lessons, I know I have to rest when the inevitable happens and I overdo things, so I am getting better at looking after myself. Thanks for your videos.

To the point that it takes me all day to find the strength to get up and dressed 😮 I've been so weak and overwhelmed and I've unsubscribed from the emails that were positive and could help because I couldn't keep up with them, including yours (sorry!).

@esthercave8111 Ай бұрын

@@johnpeck6144 God bless you, never give up. I am a born again Christian who trusts God in my suffering as the Bible says we will suffer. It's a fallen world and sickness exists. I had a traumatic birth with my son and a bacterial infection the whole time I was pregnant then on antibiotics the whole pregnancy. I was never the same after that. Iv gone from severe M.E could barely walk had slurred speech. Needed a mobility scooter. To now functioning well some days days. I have improved so much but still having a terrible effect on my life. I'm in bed now unable to get out after yet another night of sleep disturbances. Exhausted. I do believe the answer is found in mind body, working on our emotions, doing things we love, getting out in nature. Self compassion, gratefulness. Trying not to get depressed saying to ourselves this too will pass. Setting goals for the future like I am learning how to drive. Taking me two years but I don't care, people don't understand what I go through with brain fog insomnia so learning is difficult for me. We need to turn to God for wisdom how to find out way out of this illness and the lessons God has allowed us to learn.

7 years? Thanks for triggering everyone. Well done. I’ve been suffering 30 and it got way worse after 7 years. Doesn’t that feel great to read?

@CFSHealth Ай бұрын

It sounds like effort isn’t the issue. It’s the method that seems to be the problem. Having an appropriate movement program is so crucial for PEM not to occur. This is why we believe in having a multi faceted approach and comprehensive plan for recovery. You can do all the Brian retraining techniques til the cows come home but if your level of activity exceeds your capacity, the push/crash cycle will continue to happen and you will continue to experience PEM. For context we have a 12 level restorative movement progression plan for all levels of severity to ensure our clients do what’s appropriate and build up to higher levels which then enables them to live their life to the fullest without payback. If you’d like a proper compressive plan for the entirety of your recovery send an email to my team at info@cfshealth.Com - Toby

@traceychapman4825 Ай бұрын

There’s a lot. But googling which I tend to do a lot of is not helpful and actually contributes to a state of overwhelm. Also shifting the focus from symptoms. I tend to constantly focus on my symptoms and how intolerable they are. Shifting the focus to doing basic things to take care of yourself. I like the example of self compassion you gave. I tend to cycle through negative thinking like what’s wrong with me? Why am I so fatigued?

@@CFSHealth Thanks for the answer Toby. It's that my joint pain subsided for a while but now it came back and I fear it's arthritis or some other kind of autoimmune disease. My joints also do loud cracking noises and I didn't had all of this before ME/CFS, I was 100% healthy.
