Episode 130 - I Almost Gave Up on Life Because of M.E/CFS – But Then This Happened

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.

If you’ve ever felt like giving up, this is for you.
