Summary
A 16-year-old with CFS/ME of unspecified duration reported anxiety and depression. CBT helped lift depression and improved their mental health, but anxiety persisted. In March 2020 they believed they had COVID-19, which brought worry and anxiety back; they said they were doing better than before but not great.
