A 22 year old recently diagnosed with CFS. Once very active (I hiked, travelled and camped), now I find myself in bed a lot and unemployed. I’m a Christian and believe Jesus is the King over my life; this is very important to me.
Before my diagnosis, I was a full-time Theological student. I was exhausted for a few years beforehand, but it was manageable. I’d go to classes in the morning and be wiped out for 5 hours in the afternoon. It was only in the evenings that I could work on my assignments. But things started to get worse around September 2019. I found myself in bed for two weeks straight. My doctor told me to have a good holiday and over the course of it I started to feel great, better than great. Thinking I was better I threw myself into another week of intense study. By the second day of the first week, I crashed, HARD. It went downhill from there. I had to quit my studies and I’m still crashing everyday despite not doing anything.
