You have no idea how close I am to giving up! I really can't do it anymore. I feel crap & ill all the fuckin time & I can't go on anymore. My glandular fever is clearly turning into CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), & now i've been diagnosed with severe clinical depression! I'm so exhaused all the time from the CFS that I can barely function anymore

Hey hon, I can't say I know exactly how you feel because - well, obviously I don't. But I've been in such a similar situation & although I've not been diagnosed with anything I know what it's like to be too weak and exhausted to move. I've been there, it's not fun. And I totally know what you mean when you say teachers don't believe you; my HoY doesn't believe that I'm ill despite doctor notes, she seems to think that if I take the meds I'll be absolutely fine but that's bollocks: it's stressful and it's painful and there's the depression I've been fighting for the past three years and there's a vicious circle which I can't break. So, I understand and I know what it's like and if you ever need to talk, call me, okay? I'm not in school right now - they're homeschooling me actually, which might work for you - ask about it, maybe. At least you'll get your education somehow... but the important thing is that you stop stressing okay? I know it's so much easier said than done, but the more stressed you get, the more depressed you're going to make yourself, and then you're going to tell yourself you can't do anything and you'll make yourself even iller. I know it sounds easy on paper, but it's not easy in practice, I know that. Just relax, okay?

Wow. Okay. I rambled. I'm going now. *huge hugs*
