I am on my 7th month suffering...I could never imagine before that that the human body can experience this amount of pain. I realized that all this negative over thinking, all this depression is naturally caused by this situation and the only sure is doesn't let the body heal. I am really happy I keep listening people been through this and took their lifes back.
yes, surround yourself with the recovery stories. Theres a lot of darkness out there with those toxic forums. People do recover and its not rare at all.
month 8 here as well. its pretty wild really. im 33. travelled to 68 countries around the world , have money , dont drink or smoke but still really feel it a lot over the past months. maybe i burnt myself out at work and all the stress about trying to do things in life. im no longer going to the gym or doing jiujitsu ( have been for the last 6 years) or have much energy to do much at all. im 6'1 and 83kg so by no means overweeight actually pretty athletic. but now the most i feel i can do is take the dog for a 30 miniute walk , the rest is just me in bed
Hey guys i am almost as good as before... Still i am not able to do a hard job but i am leaving my life very good and going strong... Check l carnatine with cq 10 enzyme i think it helped as well .. and something more important make your mind set stronger ... Lost 1 year and a half of my life but I m beating this devil sickness every day i wish the same to everyone.
@@VisionofTomo take it easy buddy no stress lots of people we have won it.
L carnatine with cq10 enzyme
Good food
Fix as much as possible your mood and stress
And after you reach a better level exercise and spreading running but very important don't overdue it. You need to minimise felling back..
Wish you good luck mate
I can’t explain how much I resonate with your thoughts and emotions during recovery. It’s crazy to think other people experienced exactly what you did around the same exact time period.
Yes exactly, I guess we're not so different after all.
The Covid Vaccines put me into this state, but I also have nerve pain and was just menopausal, bam….wiped out, severe Pots, major depression and severe anxiety
@@jilllindfield2187me except nerve pain.. exact how it happened for me
I can see like my brain have no filter
@@cfsrecoverydid You have brainfog
I have anxiety and very anxious. I cannot keep still. I am going to believing and saying out loud that I am going to get better. It has been a long journey. Thank God, I came across channel's on RUclips where people are talking about this.
Please watch this and hopefully, it helps: ruclips.net/video/YDYbsFuJzNQ/видео.htmlsi=HLey6EbSsheNPzVl
You are well on your way to becoming a leader in this space, good on you Miguel.
Thank you ❤️
I was diagnosed with anxiety disorder, panic disorder (agoraphobia) at age 16. I've learned to live with it over the years, but I'm still dealing with a ton of anxiety. I am open to this way of thinking of it. I'm now 59 and tired of living in survival mode. I was put off of work a number of years ago because of this, much to my shock. I hope to get past this. Thank you for your videos. Thanks for the book recommendation, I just got it from our e-library. I will read it.
Yes, I’m dealing with waves of both anxiety and depression. It’s a weird feeling that I am not safe in the world as a response to situations that normally I would handle with confidence. Especially any worrying about my son. When you can’t function normally, it’s hard to feel confident in my ability to protect myself or my son. I am improving slowly in my 4th month of recovery. Most of my symptoms or reduced significantly or some have disappeared. I’m functioning but still unable to work full time or drive very long. It just feels like everything is so critical. I’m going to contact a therapist to help support this specifically.
Your really of great help...I thank Jesus Christ I found your page and I watch them every day.
Thanks and welcome 😊❤️
I totally agree with you Miguel. I actually have seasonal depression and have had it for many years before getting MECFS. Emotions are energy in motion meaning that they are moving through. Hanging on to depression by identifying with it, is telling the universe that this is what you want. Thanks also for the book recommendation!❤️
Thanks for your support!
Thank you, very helpful. I try to remind myself that depressed or hopeless feelings are temporary, “this too shall pass”. Also thanks for validating that sometimes having depressed or anxious feelings about CFS symptoms is normal, cause not all doctors get that.
always happy to help!
What really helped my anxiety was changing my diet. I cut out carbs and any junk food. I don't eat good food that's higher in sugar either. I was amazed at how much it dropped the anxiety I was feeling. Depression has been harder and I've been on so many antidepressants over the years with little help. I finally stopped taking them and am looking at more natural alternatives. I was having these depressive thoughts long before I was diagnosed with fibro and cfs, though.
Thanks for sharing 🙂
You know the mental angst all too well. Thankyou for clarifying how our mood is often a reflection of our state, but we also have the power to shift that. You are providing excellent direction for those of us outside your program. Your regular, uplifting videos are a blessing Miguel! 💎
I'm glad you found some value in this Leah!
This is me exactly. The symptoms about rolling over and what happens. It’s good to know you were so similar. I wish i tolerated meds better. 🙏
Glad you found value in this video!
I identify with everything you said on this video. Thank you very much!
I'm glad you found something you could relate to!
Received your book today; i know this will help, thank you Miguel for giving back.
Awesome, thank you!
Really appreciated that - I’ve had another bout of m.e. after recovering previously and not applying the lessons I should have learned - it’s all come back to haunt me.
Well, if you came out of it once and recovered then you can recover again! There's no doubt, this time will be much easier than the first time because you actually know what to do
Needed this video. With a symptoms flare I'm having intense mood swings, which is super scary. I appreciate you explaining that this is normal and temporary!
I'm glad the video was helpful for you! Remember, mood swings can be a common part of dealing with symptoms, but they can improve. Keep a positive mindset! 😊
Wow I love this Miguel. Just re-framing having anxiety as feeling a feeling like you feel happiness makes total sense and helps to take the pressure off. Thanks so much
You've grasped the essence perfectly! 💪😊
You are a Godsend. Thank you for doing this work.
Glad I could help! You're most welcome.
This was so helpful, Miguel. I've started recording my moods on Daylio app, and I've seen clearly how my mood is tied with my energy level. I get happy when I have energy and depressed when I'm tired/fatigued/feeling unwell. This is a helpful mind shift to reframe those feelings so I don't identify with the negative feelings.
Awesome, glad to hear you are making progress and realizing how things are connecting and know which to avoid!
I'm totally with you and your opinion and your experience
im glad you can relate. You got this!
Thank you very much for this perspective 👍
I will really try to think of it that way ❤ I have also started low dose ssri. I really needed it.
all the best to you!
This video is very timely for me.
For reasons unclear to me, I've recently been experiencing bouts of extreme anxiety.
~ Very uncomfortable!
So thank you for sharing your sage point-of-view on this topic.
I find it helpful. 🌴🌸
I’m glad you found value in this!
I identified with everything you just said. It made me want to cry and sent chills through my body...
I'm sorry to hear you're going through a tough time, but I'm glad you found the message relatable. Remember, you're not alone, and there's always hope for improvement. If you ever want to talk or need support, reach out. 💕😊
I needed to hear this. Thank you
I am so glad this resonated with you. Thank you too! 😊
I agree with you completely. Thank you for these videos (another male, here).
In our cases, it sure seems depression and anxiety are dramatically magnified, or entirely brought about by the crippling and cumulative effects of CFS on our psyche. I’ve been to a psych ward. Wanted to die more times than I can count - a few times this week. I’ve taken over ten psych meds, with no benefit - only side effects. Had 36 TMS treatments. I’ve also lead a life of high function and success in spite of persistent fatigue (stop being lazy!) and it’s associated ailments, until the total crash 4 months ago.
For me, mental illness is the scariest part.
Mindfulness based stress reduction has helped me more than any doctor over 40 years. I’m excited to try the brain training you discussed in another video and will be reading your book. Thank you for sharing your story with us!!
glad you could find some value in this video!
Hi. How do you could eat with big anxiety and without medicine?
Aw yes, I relate to all of this too Miguel ❤️🩹
🙌🏻
I was feeling depressed.This video changed my attitude toward feeling depressed.❤
I'm really glad to hear that the video had a positive impact on your perspective! 💖 Sometimes, a change in attitude can make a big difference. Keep focusing on positive thoughts and self-care. You've got this! 😊🌟👍
CFSME is like living in a pasture that is divided in half by a fence. One side is luscious, verdant, full of flowers, fresh air, ponds, and streams, singing birds etc. The other side is hard rocky ground with no water, ponds, fresh air, etc. There is no gate and one must try to climb over the fence to get to the other side. Too bad the fence is so high. It has been tough. This is my third and worst bout. All came after a medical incident, this time a respiratory virus, not Covid but the Dr called it long term Covid. Already have had Menierre's vertigo for thirty three years. The fatigue is ridiculously beyond belief.
Thank you for sharing! 😊
This was SO GOOD! I really resonated with you saying the mood shifts and increase in these feelings are directly related to adjustment periods. I have experienced this time and time again, but you just reminded me to observe these temporary changes in a more logical way. Thank you!!
definitely observe whenever you physically flare up, how coincidentally your anxiety and panic flares too. Not so coincidental after all huh lol
Miguel can you please do a video on weight loss and eating to rebuild weight. Thank you
Please watch this and hopefully, it helps: ruclips.net/video/EZdNJ4sZvJY/видео.htmlsi=K7k9YhNj2a131zPF
Very true and the worst part is that chronic state of anxiety/depression as a symptom not just the situation so good that you covered both sides… :)
im glad you found value in this!
50 mg of tramadol in the morning has literally saved my life. It takes away the fatigue, headaches and brain fog. I still have very bad days but I’m not stuck in bed anymore and takes away the anxiety
have had this for the past 10 years. it really is crippling to live with mental illness
I agree!
For those looking who can’t remember from the video, the book that Miguel referenced is called The Upward Spiral by Alex Korb PhD
Yes, the upward spiral is an excellent book
Hey...what kind of SSRI helped you in your recovery?
Currently at this stage 7:47 and I’m tired of it. Recently started with medication, and even side effects aren’t easy to deal with.
I feel you Akshita!
It is not normal and therefore understandable that it's it's difficult and tiresome. But please don't give up yet - it will get better, with the right mindset, positivity and resilience, you will get there!
Great video! I too have noticed that feelings of anxiety and depression get worse when I'm in a cfs flare up. I got covid 3 months ago, and since then cfs symptoms have been waaay worse. It literally wiped me out. Now I'm having constant panic attacks and anxiety for the last 3 months. It's worse in the mornings right when I wake up...I can feel the panic just hijack my body and my heart races and then I feel so weak like I have low blood sugar...probably because all of the cortisol and adrenaline. My question is how can I get my body to switch into the parasympathetic mode right in the morning so I'm not having horrible panic attacks? It seems like it starts in my sleep. I do my best to meditate and do relaxing breathing exercises before I sleep, but I seem to be stuck in fight or flight mode subconsciously because I wake up multiple times throughout the night and in the morning in a panic attack and cold sweats. And it seems to last through out the day. But right in the morning it is definitely stronger. Any tips? Thanks 🙏
Hi I’ve experienced the exact same symptoms as you since I got covid last year, how are you feeling now?
I'm also experiencing the same :(
And me…
@doritad3637 sorry I just saw your message. I'm still experiencing this. It got better for a few weeks then got really bad again. I'm not sure what's causing it. How about you?
Super super sympathetic dominant nervous system, causing downstream body wide disregulation.. in a loop where the inflammation and other assaults are stressing my nervous system which is stressing the body in a loop of crazy trapped mess 😂
I too wake and the body/nervous system like a switch snaps into doom mode.. from as little as daylight!
Keep going 💪🏼🫠
You’re videos save lives, I always feel so hopeful after every video I watch. Miguel sometimes I think, why am I alive why am I living, what’s the point of being here suffering, I might as well Jjst live my life, do what I love, why should I stop my live, I won’t let the symptoms upset me, life is way to short, I guess it takes time to full realise this
I saw that you went for a run, I saw the comment on Raelan's channel I believe. Did you really try going for a run?!
@@cfsrecovery yes I can run, and train, sometimes I feel completely fine, others I have struggles
You definitely need to pull back based on your symptoms, I’m pretty sure you’re overdoing it. When you get to the point of running and training you should not have the level of symptoms you describe!
@@cfsrecovery but isn’t that evidence that I can do it ? How come some times I feel complete fine ? And other unlucky times I don’t.
I don’t want to stop something that makes me feel good, I get confused because I have evidence that suggest that I can do it without any struggle, that’s means it’s 100 percent possible I can do it
@@ezza1236 Wait but you just said you can do it without any struggle but you’ve also said there are unlucky times where you don’t feel completely fine. So there is struggle. Which is completely normal it’s probably a slight adjustment period. in the last few months at this pace you’re going at have you gotten better or stayed about the same?
Do you get balance problems, walking difficulty
I get balance problems. I sometimes walk like I'm drunk!
I’m nervous about watching youre upcoming long covid video, will it be helpful ? I’m scared,
I hope it will be more hopeful
It's just a reaction video, nothing scary! Don't watch it if you're nervous watching haha
@@cfsrecovery this is the video I’ve been waiting for and being so nervous about, long covid, I always get nervous IncAse you might mention it’s worse or something lol
Is it Also do dive in the body and feelings ? I have dark shadow in my sight i dont now why
How long have you been experiencing this?
Hi miguel - whats your opinion on adrenal fatigue ?
Adrenal fatigue is quite rare to be honest. A lot of people with cfs believe they have adrenal fatigue because some of the symptoms overlap each other including the most prominent thing - cortisol levels - which were low when I was experiencing cfs. This was my personal experience though.
@@cfsrecovery thanks:) is it worth testing for before starting a course like this?
It does sound like you experienced some reactive depression from having severe CFS. Once you had a lessoning of symptoms and could do more, you weren't really depressed. For some of us, depression is a illness all on its own and doesn't depend on what we can do, it just happens. I had found some sort of brain retraining modules specific to depression, but unfortunately I lost track of them.
Your insight is valuable, and I appreciate your perspective. Depression is indeed a complex challenge, and finding tailored approaches like brain retraining can be transformative.
Oh wow!!!! Please!!!! My doctor keeps trying to offer me antidepressants when i tell him im not depressed hes fobs me off ... I refused to take them.... I know im not depressed its a struggle to function an it gets me down big time but im not depressed!!!!
So sorry Charlotte. Yes, unfortunately there is lots of misdiagnosis in the healthcare surrounding CFS and it's general symptoms. What is your situation like now?
Currently doing well apart from emotional stress an extreme anxiety!!! It's just real negative energy stored in my body I can feel it .... ❤
I have just been prescribed ssri too. But i dont feel depressed. I want to live and love, i want my life back. I have feelings of lots of panic nocturnal, and anxiety, sleepless, sleeping 4 hours only for months. I feel exhausted emotionally, mentally and physically, I DO NOT KNOW whether i should commence taking these ssri. My issue is if i dont get the anxiety and sleep under control i cannot move forward in healing, MIGUEL any advise please 🙏🏽
Such great information. Thank you. I was curious of your thoughts on neurofeedback brain training or if you have ever tried it? I am considering trying before meds to calm nervous system.
I dont know about his statement but I feel like shit and weak cant do anything cant sleep properly cant think mostly nor i can enjoy my life. Why is this happening
I'm so sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. Chronic fatigue and its associated symptoms can be very challenging and impact various aspects of life. There can be multiple factors contributing to your current condition, including underlying health issues, lifestyle factors, and the functioning of your nervous system. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional who can evaluate your specific situation and provide appropriate guidance and support. From there, with a certain diagnosis, then we can invite you have a look at our CFS Jumpstart Recovery Program where we can offer more tailored and personalized approach for you. Remember, you're not alone, and there are resources available to help you on your journey to recovery.

You are wrong. The first step in making a change is recognizing the problem. That means acknowledging that yes, you are depressed.
Wrong
