Hi Mermaid.
I can relate to a lot of what you say.
I’m 24 and I worry that my life is flashing before my eyes.
It feels like I’ve been living in a bubble for so long, and when I think about all the time that’s passed I worry that I’m wasting my life feeling bad and stuck.

You’re really not alone though. Most people are not content with their lives and just because you’re temporarily living with your parents doesn’t mean that you aren’t as successful as other. Everyone has their own obstacles to deal with, and you know what yours are.

I can relate to the creativity thing too. I write music and sing/play guitar. Sometimes I get so psyched about my potential, and then on other days I feel like giving up music because (I tell myself) I haven’t got what it takes. I’ve been suffering from adrenal fatigue, or to simplify it – Regular tiredness, that’s sometimes extreme – for a long time now. Other people seem to have so much energy compared to me, so I feel like I don’t fit in. So many people my age work full time and then do extra hours, and then party all weekend. That would pretty much kill me.

I’m intrigued that you’ve overcome CFS (at least, to a degree that you’re better).
I know you’ve read From Fatigued To Fantastic, but do you mind helping me out and giving me some tips?
What has helped you the most in recovery?
I seem so stress sensitive these days.
I’ve tried playing around with diet for years but I always seem to let things get to me, despite how I try to stay strong.

Thank you
