Summary
Beech 33840 described having ME/CFS with depression that came on when they were very tired and disappeared when they had a better handle on their illness. They found a ketogenic diet very helpful and said rest, avoiding PEM triggers and meditating made depressive episodes less frequent and shorter. Intermittent fasting was something they swore by, though they named weight control as its only tangible benefit, and they still recommended it in late 2024.
