Awwwwwww I am so sorry Kevin, you are bringing tears to my eyes. You are sooooooooo young to have this and I admire your strong spirit, akin to my own. I have to say that I am a little concerned however that if you do not stop pushing yourself so hard that you will get chronic fatigue syndrome as well, if you do not have it already. Your current lifestyle is not suited to long term recovery. As a youngster, you will be pushed hard to achieve (for yourself) but you really may need to look at 'acceptance'. I am very worried about you. There is a lot to life, that you and I can appreciate, like mountains, sunlight and meditation. You really must look after yourself, love yourself and rest. I know this is hard because of our conditioning and halting our drive/motivation, in order to do so, is very difficult. It's time for you to take charge of your own life (within the 'facts' of your condition), to learn to say 'no' and to give yourself lots and lots of tlc. Take some time out please.... years in fact. Homeopathy helps. Where are you? I am in the West Midlands. Kindest regards and admiration, Anne x
