Does anyone else here have a diagnosis of M.E. or Chronic Fatigue?
Well, or any 'physical' dis-ease really, that directly affects their mental health (and vice-versa)?
I am trying to locate support for my physical poor health...possibly via mental health services owing to the link between M.E. and poor mental health. I have been struggling lately and my physical condition threatens my current mental health recovery.
Any ideas, suggestions? I am starting (continuing?) to feel let down by the 'system'. I know lots of people get support for physical health problems and I wonder who I need to contact? I have a GP, Mental Health Social Worker (Pah! I have seen her once) and a decent CPN. I have explained 'til I am blue in the face.....that being excessively tired soon leads to a decline in my mental state but so far I have not received much support. My CPN helped me obtain free bus travel and has helped to to begin a claim for Disability Living Allowance (still in the pipeline)...but nothing forthcoming for the exhausting mundanities (ha) of life. I have a basket of wet laundry sitting in the kitchen over 4 days old because I have no energy to hang it up.
I am having a bad day....sorry, 'Brain Fog' and other such maladies have made online research a task too over-whelming to contemplate.
