I have been off work since April due to illness, they excluded everything else leaving me with ME. I was a teacher and to go from that to not been able to work is tough, does anyone else feel useless nor working?

It feels like forever waiting for appointments, for instance have been referred for Cfs service at my local hospital and found out today it's a four month waiting list just for an initial assessment/appointment. Just feels like there is little help out there

    took three years to be heard, after been told i have cfs by specialst my doctor said he does not belive in it. so all i can say yes talking to someone is great but you have to help yourself you are your own therapist at the end of the day. theres cfs book for dummies plus cbt training books out there. try researching mindnessless.
