Summary
A Reddit user on r/chronicfatigue described being limited by fatigue, with brain fog and currently lying in bed, and said they would never return to their 22-year-old body. They wrote that pushing through full days of work, school and the gym had damaged them in the long term. They found tiny amounts of movement, protein, omega fatty acids and complex carbs helpful, and spoke of accepting a slower pace.
