Episode 204: How to Stop the M.E/CFS Identity Crisis Step by Step
The M.E/CFS identity crisis no one talks about
There’s a part of M.E/CFS that doesn’t get talked about enough.
Losing your sense of who you are.
Maybe you used to work, exercise, travel, socialise, look after your family, or simply get through a normal day without thinking twice.
Then M.E/CFS came along and suddenly so much of that disappeared.
And you can find yourself thinking:
Who am I if I can’t be the person I used to be?
That loss of identity can create an entirely different layer of suffering on top of the physical symptoms.
In my latest podcast, I talk about why this happens, how constantly comparing yourself to your old life can affect recovery, and how to start building a future that gives you hope again.
