I almost gave up on life because of M.E/CFS There was a time when I truly thought my life was over. Chronic fatigue syndrome had taken everything from me—my energy, my independence, my identity. The exhaustion, the pain, the isolation… it felt unbearable. I was trapped between the person I used to be and the reality I was living, and I didn't know how to move forward. I kept holding onto my old life, refusing to let go. But at the same time, I couldn't live the way I used to. And that struggle between who I was and who I wasn't anymore kept me stuck for years. Then one day, something happened. A single moment that changed everything. It wasn't a cure. It wasn't a magic fix. But it was the shift that finally helped me break free and start making real progress with my recovery. I share everything in this week's CFS Health Recovery Podcast—the hardest parts of my journey, what kept me stuck for so long, and the one mindset shift that changed everything.

I stopped chasing quick fixes and focused on what I could control—my daily routine and structure. At first, it felt insignificant. How could something so simple make a difference?

3 Essentials for ME/CFS Recovery that nobody talks about Ever feel like you're doing everything right but still not moving forward? I get it. Recovery isn't straightforward, and it's easy to feel stuck or question if you're missing some crucial piece. That was me years ago—I tried everything but kept circling back to square one, wondering if I'd ever get out of that loop. But there's something I learned along the way that changed everything: there are three key essentials you need to get unstuck and start seeing real progress.

In my latest video, I'm breaking down what these three shifts are, why they're essential, and how they can help you feel more stable, focused, and ready to take the next step in your recovery. Sometimes, it's not about adding more to your plate—it's about choosing the things that genuinely make a difference, one step at a time. Hope this brings you closer to where you want to be.
