There's nothing like CFS/ME that will bring you to your knees begging for mercy. It is quite a humbling condition to have for sure.

Pushing to “do all the things” is how we got here to begin with. Perfectionist high achievers tend to be the ones who get CFS - the high stress people. Gotta let it go to get better - all that sympathetic tone is the problem. Great video. I just found you and also bought your book.

I lost my job because of fatigue and anxiety. I have been resting for 10 months without any improvement. I really couldn't afford any mental consultations so thanks for this free content. Hope I can turn my life around.

I have suffered from chronic fatigue and I can definitely relate to feeling like I have lost control of my life. It can be hard to do even the most basic of things.

This is a great resource. I’m know I spend a lot of my time in bed on my phone when I need to be resting. I look forward to going through all the steps.

Wow, wanted to cry. As a woman we are conditioned to be good housewives, now you have told me to relax a bit. Thank you.

YouTube says I've watched this before - I must have, because your advice has all gone in and the current system of pacing I have largely follows these steps :) I deleted my social media because it was making me depressed and anxious but also realise now it's done me a favour because writing comments drains my battery! I must say tho, this is much easier to follow now I have more energy. It all felt very hopeless a year ago. Thanks for your continued presence and positive message 💖

Thank you very much. I'm basically house bound and my biggest problem with pacing is trying to keep on top of household jobs and keeping the place clean. I know it's crazy and need to change. Keeping things clean etc was a way I dealt with trauma so it's a crutch but I need to get on top of this.

Thanks so much for all your videos - when I first developed long covid a few months ago I was so terrified that it would turn into ME/CFS (and that does describe my symptoms tho not officially diagnosed) but finding your channel and so many recovery interviews has shown me that labels don't matter and there is a way out of these conditions. Now improving significantly with brain retraining, physical rehab, and other strategies tho I still have a ways to go. Recommending your channel to everyone I know with long covid. Thanks so much!!! <3

I'm just coming to accept that I live with this fatigue after a year of not knowing what it was or thinking I'd go back to who I was. It's hard to accept this. But now I'm learning about pacing in hopes that it helps. That's so much for this video.

Just as I was losing hope, came across this video and this has given me hope again. 4 years of cfs

Thank you so much for providing all this free content. Many can´t afford any program or treatment and your tips are just gold to set up a stable basis for recovery and even finding some tools that effectively help to make progress. I am just learning to give rest and things contributing to my wellness a priority and this helps a lot! Thanks Raelan!

Such great tips! Thanks! I keep a planner with all of my healing strategies I want to accomplish each day. Even though it's the same almost everyday, I love checking things off. I keep a lose schedule and make my healing a priority.

Girl, you are such a sunshine! Your videos chrage me with vibrant energy ☀️ 🌻 💛 I never remember signing to any channel so fast, just after less than a week. And I hardly ever subscribe.

Another great vid Raelan, thank you. My main takeaways are about getting better at asking for help with basic energy sucking tasks. A recent UCL / University of Exeter study showed people suffering severe Long Covid can have worse quality of life than advanced cancer sufferers. For those of us who are really struggling we need to ask for help

Thank you for sharing this. I've been recently diagnosed with post covid syndrome and part of this is fatigue. I'm useless at pacing, living in a busy household and having been used to working full time, studying part time, looking after the family and dogs and cooking large meals from scratch. I also breed in my 'spare time'. Now I can't even walk round the block without a nap and this 'boom and bust' cycle is a part of my life everyday. This has given me real direction and inspiration. I don't know how long I'll be ill for but I can now start helping myself more. I particularly like the tip about the phone alarm as I tend to get carried away when I'm feeling 'energetic'.

This is awesome.

Thank you. Great advice 😊

Thanks Raelan, this has been super helpful 💛
