Summary
Bluebell 76722, a user on r/cfs, wrote in late 2017 that they felt suicidal, had no useful support, having been under mental health services since age 14. By January 2018 they had stopped their regular walks of about 800 metres to the local shop; concentration improved but post-exertional malaise and anxiety got worse. They mentioned being prescribed drugs that didn't really do anything.
