7. Always putting yourself last
Some FMS and CFS patients are willing to exert all their energy into doing things for the people around them, as well as doing their jobs and carrying our their responsibilities. In the end, the do not take care of their own well-being and health. This is definitely not a good idea. If you do not put yourself first, you will end up with less energy until you have nothing left to give.
8. Giving up
Remember that whenever you try a new lifestyle change or a treatment, it can take a while before you will notice its effects. Therefore, it is important that you do not give up easily. If you give up too early on, you will only miss out on the long-term benefits.
9. Letting stress overwhelm you
We have to deal with so many stressful things every single day of our life and being sick will only make life even more stressful. However, if you allow stress to overtake your life, you will only feel worse. So look for ways to minimize or manage your daily stressors.
