Dealing with fear

Being afraid comes hand in hand with being chronically ill. The very nature of CFS/ME means that you don't know what life will be like from one day to the next. You can't plan. You can't prepare. In this video, I talk about the fears I have been living with most recently, and how I am dealing with them.

I wish you all the best for 2020, I have M.E and other illnesses and dealt with similiar life experiences, what I've learnt in 5 yrs dealing with myalgic encephalomyelitis is you have to rest and rest some more. But!! You also have to find something funny to make you laugh. Laughter is always the best medicine. I recommend body groove it's very light dance. Can do it sitting down, sway to music. Find the sunshine in everything you do. Even if you just find something that makes you smile a few moments and build on it each day. We all have our down days but don't let them own you. Check out also Marissa Peer videos. She gives excellent talks on subjects like "I'm enough". And I truly believe I am. So are you. Accept the past has gone, find new joy in the life you have now, even with illness. I am riddled in illness but I can't change the past. Rest when you can, rest and keep smiling.

Thank you for the video. A lot of us are frightened by the growing extent of cardiovascular and muscular degeneration in parallel to unceasing M.E.. I applaud you for tackling steps to establish any kind of exercise routine. Even attempting if not succeeding is healthier for the mind. I've Shared your video with some online friends who have M.E.
