I know this is very personal but any insight will be a help. I have found myself very low at times and depressed because of the constant chronic pain, at times it's unbearable.

The antidepressants have meant I've lost the really happy feelings of emotions but I'd rather lose those and not be so miserable and angry that I want to harm myself and be nasty to my family.
I recommend antidepressants for the emotional help. you don't have to be on them long term. Personally I think I will need to, because over the 23 years I've had ME/CFS I need them to cope with the anger, sadness and the nagging pain.
I've also attended hypnotherapy, stress councilling and CBT.
Good luck, seek help when you need it before it gets too much xxx

My name is Glenn Finlay; I'm 6 foot 4 and 222lbs,educated as an accountant,university educated from a working class background. In 2008, aged 32 I began having flu-like symptoms every day..where I couldn't get a breath. From being 5 times a week at a gym to spending 18 months having a virus,joint pain, headaches,weakness 24hours a day.
After 18 months...I managed to breathe again to a walking pace but still cannot do more than 90 seconds excercise without choking for breadth. 24hours a day,I feel weak all over my body,constant headaches, struggle to concentrate on the simplest of things, pain all over my joints with my body just wanting to rest, rest and rest which does no good.
To sum this illness up...I feel like I have a bag of weak dust running constantly through my bloodstream yet I look great. Inside, I've thought about killing myself because 24hours a dayI don't get a break from this virus running inside my bloodstream. No-body can see it,no-body can diagnose it but believe me THIS ILLNESS is horrific. Torture.
To repeat, I've had this 8 years and still relentless 24hours a day. If having a cold is 10 per cent and having flu is 90 per cent...I feel like 45 per cent 24hours a day, 52 weeks a year,on and on. God bless.
