Hi. Am so fed up with lookng dowdy. I dont have energy for make up and fussy clothes etc. i love to look and feel girly but i just dont have energy to do ig. It may give me a lift if i could manage it.
Anyone else feel like this?
Girly dressing up aside, i've had to re-structure my entire life because of CFS, i can no longer do the things i used to, no gym, no swimming, no running. The energy is just not there. I see CFS as a temporary affliction, the length of time for people to improve is anyones guess but it helps me stay positive to know people recover. Days can be so boring, the routine is mind numbing at times but as long as i feel stable i focus onb progress.
Yes I feel the same way. I cant even get out of the house, no motivation.
Have terminal illness and other health issues.
It would give you a lift, pamper yourself for a day, have a duvet day. X
Wish i had energy for pampering 😞😞😞
Please try cos you will feel alot better. Don't give up and die.
Life is worth living x honest
The non existant energy i dont have is used on children. My pride and joy. Just feel trampy. I hope you are right and there is an end well wishes
I am not giving up hun. Just wishing i had energy to do stuff. Just wingey i guess
We all need a good winge. Xxx
Sounds more like you're too worn out to do some of the things you want to do because you do have an interest in yourself. Maybe you could try to set aside some time and energy each week to do things like this? It can be hard though, and you might want/need to do other things instead. You should remember that your pleasure is important.
I understand what you mean but i mean on a day to day basis as well as pampering.
Think i need a good kick up the backside!! To tired for that either ....
Im the same donna,havent got the energy to even brush my hair on bad days or get dressed i have to though for the school runs to take and pick my son up. If im really bad though i cant and have to ask for help as im far to exhausted to do that.
Its half term now and im trying my best to save up all my energy for my son, its a big battle daily to do this for me
So makeup,nails and hair ect will have to wait for now and one day i will manage to look good again

Hi glad its not just me, tiredness and lethargy seems to be the normal daily routine, willing the little energy for essentials, keeping myself pets and home cared for and cleanish with minimul effort taken, still an achievement be it a small one, also meaning l wear outfits l wouldnt have before, just pull it on for comfort and ease, quick hair comb, feeling a slob at times, then going to supermarket when essential major battle of will getting there and endurance getting the trolley round, but the trolley an essential also , holds me up, hoping no one l know see,s me, but the excitement today a call from an old friend, such are my days. Glad for me pets and computer, my kids in their 30s and own homes. Its boring and frustrating routine, but also endure believing it will improve, live in hope, as we do.
Hi Donna,
I understand completely. It used to be that I wouldn't leave the house without putting my face on. Now it's a case of having the energy to leave the house let alone putting my face on.
Personally I really enjoy listening to music, something that takes very little energy. This quite often helps to lift me emotionally.
Yes. I love my music. Also audio books. No effort required. Its a relief to know am not alone inn how i feel
Am so with you. We should pat ourselves when we manage to do something however small
Cant wait for that day!!!
Half terms always zap me
you don't need to look good all the time you know. Just when you feel up to it.
I love to dress girly. Not over the top just feminine. It does make you feel good just to much effort
Sounds to me like you are being unfair on yourself. I'm sure you wouldn't be so mean to someone else who was feeling ill. You've got no reason to beat yourself up imo.
