Apologies if there’s a thread about this elsewhere but I wanted to see if this is a specific CFS symptom or if I’m imagining it…
so sometimes when I’m bedridden with PEM it just feels like a heavy brain fog but emotionally I’m fairly cheerful, just “crap this sucks” and then I watch tv.
But at other times I wake up with extreme emotions like depression or even fear and I don’t remember having specific thoughts that caused those feelings. Then as soon as the physical PEM stops, so do those emotions. I’ve even had thoughts of dying and then poof an hour later I can’t imagine wanting that. And no it’s not PMS, I checked the calendar lol Am I going crazy? Does anyone else experience this?
