I have m.e. Suicide is an option but I hang on somehow. My young nephew who also had m.e. Died last Jan age 29. Its totaly shocking he sunk so low as to take his own life. Shocking and so,so sad.Before he got ill he was a pro sports player and lead singer in a well known band.
I wish m.e. sufferes got more help.I dont know what eles to say except please hang on in there x
the elephant in the room.
i don't know, there is something to be said for hanging in there.
that even if we don't feel it, the fact is hope does exist because in life things change - often unexpectently - as we who suffer with m.e. know all too well.
thank you for this post.
Dearest Bluelight. Thank you so much for going to the effort and courage to comment here. You write movingly. I am sorry that you go through so much yourself, and to hear such sadness about your dear cousin. (i would gladly include a memorial post on his anniversary in our January shout out if you would like, you can even write it yourself?)

Dear sir/ma'am.
Thank you so much for commenting, it not only is appreciated by us, but helps other readers know they are not alone or weird.
It is such a covert subject, sadly.
But you are absolutely right, things do sometimes change. Not always, but sometimes. Even after years and years of horrible suffering.
Please don't thank us for any posts, you are all so worthy of anything we can do!
And if you ever want to chat, about m.e. Or anything but, my email is

once again, many thanks.

I'm not a suicidal person but I have been that low and in honesty I wonder why I hang on today it's not like the future has something in it that would change it so drastically than today......So today, I went looking for a lap dog if I have to lie in misery my dog can keep me in good company......along with my cat....
Sir/ma'am, thank you for your courage and strength it must have taken to comment. Please know others have been and are where you are. This is such a terrible illness. If you ever want to chat, about anything, m.e. or other thing, i am so willing to chat. contactalisonlouisebell@yahoo.co.uk

Much love

Yes, hanging in there is easy to say but can also really pay off. I like the PJ Harvey line 'Things I once thought unbelievable in my life, have all taken place.' Your illness can improve and friends and family members can improve in the way they treat you over time. Even if they don't or if they do but not as much as you'd lkke or need, your ability to cope also improves over time. There are no easy options with M.E. but where there is life there is hope...
And also, pets can make the day worth going through too, a lot. If you are lucky enough to be able to have them and care for them. Pats for all kitties and dogs helping MEites today and biggest hugs for all MEites not yet well enough to have a pet. (((((Hugs))))
