Summary
A 22-year-old female student had been fatigued for over two years and was told she might fall into the chronic fatigue category. She could manage about 30 minutes of light exercise or weight training, but rest days kept increasing until she could no longer finish workouts, and without structure she felt like a zombie. She asked for advice on planning her days and starting exercise again.

Their words about each treatment
- light exercise/weight training at the gym · Worse
I Can tolerate about 30 mins of light exercise/weight training at the gym. But it’s like tapping into an energy well that does not refill. So I might get a few days but then the need for rest days in between keeps increasing untill I’m not able to make it through a full workout.
In context ↗ - caffeine · Not said
If my day has structure (I’m a student and attendance is required) it’s a little easier but I quickly fall out of the flow if Im not taking naps or caffeine.
