Summary
Has had mild ME/CFS since age 17 and is about to turn 26, living with parents in a rural English village. In January 2025 the grey English winter worsened seasonal depression, anxiety and fatigue, bringing bone-crushing loneliness. By May 2025 they felt they were coming out the other side and planned to move to a new city and start a first full-time job, fearing a crash.
