Im 58 and I feel despair how my life is. I have copd , autism, hypermobility syndrome disorder which effects not just your joints ,but digestive system, gums, teeth, feet ,you name it also fatigue. I'm on antidepressants which the doctor has just raised. But it's not doing anything worthwhile, i had to give up work ,3 years ago due to my health, I find the days just bluring into one another. I do have some hobbies, but it's finding the strength to do them. I've got some books on cbt to see if it can help. I've had counselling last year due to abuse and grief I've suffered. But I can't find the energy to do anything. I also find it difficult to go outside the town I'm in without someone being with me ,it fills me with fear, it happend after I was attacked by a family member. My daughter says I'm not normal and embarrassing because of this. That at my age I should be able to, and compares me to her friends mums.

The fatigue I get is bad ,I just want to sleep a lot. I take all different vitamins to help me, trying to lose weight, I hate the way I look. Sorry for the long post
