Summary
Bluebell 91510 developed post-viral fatigue after glandular fever two years earlier, with depression and fatigue, and had just been referred to a CFS clinic. Still holding down a job, they used cocaine and alcohol to keep up socially and at work, saying these gave energy and confidence but caused crashes. They described feeling stuck with no other way to cope.
