Summary
Tide 11243, posting in r/cfs, gives no onset date or trigger. Nearly ten years ago they stopped bouldering because a single hour left them at home for two days afterwards. They now do walks of varying length, occasional bike rides and bus trips out, and they tend to get depressed if they stay indoors a couple of days in a row, so they try to get out sometimes. No treatments or improvement were reported.

- bouldering · Worse
Some sports, like bouldering, I cut out completely almost 10 years ago, because even after a single hour of bouldering I would be home for two days straight after.

I still got my bike and sometimes use it, it's an activity that agrees with me, but also often I don't use it for two months in a row.
In context ↗ - walks · Helped
For mental health I do walks. Some days longer, some days shorter, some days just 1 minute to the bus stop
