I fell like such a mess

My whole life has been one physical or mental illness after another. For the past decade, it's been worse. I have depression, anxiety (mostly social), and I have developed chronic fatigue syndrome. Not only has my brain and emotions been taken captive, but now my body as well. A lot of people, especially doctors, are unwilling to look too closely at CFS because you can't see it. But it's there, let me tell you. There's no treatment, so I have to just wait around and do the best that I can with the life I have. I'm getting treatment for my depression and anxiety, but it's not enough. With all this going on, I can hardly leave the house anymore. Either I can't bring myself to emotionally go out and do things, or my body is too drained. I keep trying to remind myself of the things that I am thankful for, but I still feel lousy. I want to branch out, and then again, I don't. I feel as if I'm at war with my own body and emotions.

" your getting treatment for anxiety and depression but it's not enough?What treatment are you getting,pills alone won't be a cure all.You need to force yourself to sit in the sun for at least 20 min.each day,I know with agorophobia it's hard,but the more you do it the better it will get.CFS is terrible and I know how bad it agravates the depression,and the the depression the CFS also.Hugs "
