Does anyone else age regress to cope with CFS and/or Fibro? If so how do you feel about it? I'm really struggling to accept it and keep trying to go against it but nothing works.

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis

Depression

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Fibromyalgia (FM)

I'm really struggling with what I want to do compared to what I am able to do. I used to be extremely independent and now I need a lot of help. The depression kicks in and worsens my Fibro symptoms. Sometimes I feel like I'm in an unbreakable cycle. Does anyone else experience this?
are any of you guys younger? I'm 22 and have been dealing with my fatigue/other illnesses for a few years now and it's so alienating not being able to do what other people my age can... How do you cope? Have you found other people you can relate to? I live in a small town and sometimes I feel really hopeless that I'll never find a place where I fit in or belong

I have sle and kind of? I have to be very childlike in the way I live to have any kind of happiness as I’m so trapped and rely so much on other people and basically have to relearn how to live so I kind of accept that I’m back to toddler age in life progress and so regress in that way, like finding happiness in colouring when I can and dinosaur cookies lol and eating how babies are trained to eat as I have to relearn how to eat and it just makes being sick less depressing for me to kind of pretend I’m just a kid instead
