I've really posted that for me.

I don't know about you all. But I hide so many things. And am still working on the magic of

Maybe Santa will sprinkle some my way.

In my dreams.

it takes a long time to accept that your new state of being is going to last. but I cannot say accepting it actually makes things better. but that could just be at this moment.live for the few good moments. and try to forget all the bad. and have a good holiday.

No you are right acceptance does nothing at all for the pain or limitations of cfs.

In my analytical times , I had written down at top of list: acceptance!! X
