Tired of ME: Anbefales: Chronic fatigue patients fight ‘lazy’ label, support awareness

“I made disparaging remarks in my own head,” Deering said. “Chronic fatigue. Right. He’s just lazy.”

What is M.E?

The only thing I can think to compare to, is living with an abusive and unpredictable partner:

He tells me what I spend my day doing.

He makes me cancel on friends, and cancel appointments.

He decides whether I can read a book, or listen to music.

He gives me false hope; lets me think that I can achieve
an unprecedented step forward, then pulls me back down to his level.

He tells me what I can eat and drink.

He's indecisive, sometimes he lets me do something then changes his mind midway.

He plays tricks on me, and punishes me when I read his mood incorrectly.

He makes me feel sick in the same day that he let me be happy.

He makes me feel weak when inside I know I'm strong.

He controls how long I sleep, or if I'm allowed to sleep at all.

He makes me feel pain for no reason.

He makes me afraid of what will happen if I defy him.

He knows I dream of leaving him, and reminds me that I'm foolish for doing so.
