Do you feel like a burden? There’s something people with M.E/CFS often carry quietly:Guilt.Guilt that you can’t do what you used to.Guilt that other people have to help you.Guilt about your partner.Your kids.Your family.And sometimes that turns into an even heavier thought:“I’m a burden.”I talk about this in my latest podcast.Not just the guilt itself — but why it can become so heavy during chronic illness and what you can start doing differently.If you’ve been beating yourself up because of everything you can’t currently do, I think you need to hear this one.   Here are 4 ways we can help. 1.

What if I make myself worse? There’s a fear I hear constantly from people recovering from M.E/CFS:“What if I make myself worse?”You think about going somewhere.Doing a little more.Seeing someone.Trying something different.And your mind immediately starts running through everything that could go wrong.That can make it incredibly hard to trust yourself.In my latest podcast, I talk about fear and anxiety during recovery — why it can become so strong and how you can start rebuilding confidence in yourself again.If fear has been making your recovery feel smaller and smaller, I think this one will help.Here are 4 ways we can help. 1.

Will you be the same person after M.E/CFS? Something interesting can start happening as you move through recovery.You don’t just notice changes in your body.You start noticing changes in yourself.Maybe you’re more present.Maybe little things mean more.Maybe you’re questioning what you actually want from your work, relationships or future.Maybe the life you desperately wanted back doesn’t even feel like the life you want anymore.I recently got a beautiful question from one of our members about exactly this:How do people change through M.E/CFS recovery?I answer it in my latest podcast.It’s a very different conversation about recovery and I think it’ll give you a lot to think about.

The loneliness of M.E/CFSOne of the hardest parts of M.E/CFS can be something nobody else sees. The loneliness. You can have people around you and still feel completely misunderstood. Or you might genuinely be doing most of this on your own. Either way, it can feel incredibly isolating. In my latest podcast, I talk about this side of M.E/CFS — including what to do when the people around you simply don’t understand what you’re going through. If you’ve been feeling alone in your recovery lately, I think this one will resonate.Here are 4 ways we can help. 1.
