Being ill is lonely and $hit

[TwitchyJerk]

Am i allowed to swear in the title? I don't know. But yes, it really is. Been sick with ? C.f.s/m.e ? "But not presenting typically" since June and I'm getting worse not better

Not seeing anyone week after week apart from DH and maybe once a week DM, and not having the energy to, is lonely and shit on top of how shit being ill is.

I see a few close friends occasionally and don't tell them how shit it is because I'm "strong" and "coping really well" and "really positive". Or recently when I have been trying to be more open about how rubbish everything is, I still end on positive notes because I guess I want to protect others from how shit it really is....

Yea it absolutely is shit. Massive handhold and hugs from me.
sorry you are having to experience this.

I had extended period of ill health /low energy. V lonely.
I hope you have supportive GP and DH and get some relief from your symptoms

@Maria1982 thank you, I'm glad you got better :)
Yes DH is lovely, but also working full time and doing a lot to help me so very tired. GP also great, she's organising a counsellor type person to call me from the surgery- so I can of load to her, hopefully soon!
