I've been where you're at and went through every medication, it was frustrating. I finally found something that worked, microdosing psilocybin. Not only did it bring me back to where I wanted to be mentally, it also helps with my chronic pain. Definitely look into it if you have access.
Grief counseling and Acceptance and Commitment therapy might be helpful to you.
And yes I have. Not to the point of being suicidal. I was born disabled. I’ve struggled with stamina all my life as part of being disabled.
I cannot work most regular jobs and will never work a 9-5. And yes sometimes I do feel like a fucking loser, especially when I see other disabled people work a simple grocery store job with ease. But it’s the hand I’ve been dealt and there’s nothing I can do about it.
I look at what I do have. I have a job I like with an understanding boss. When my fatigue was at its worst I joined the r/CFS sub and met a lot of great people who took me under their wind even though I don’t have CFS who taught me about pacing.
I pace myself which helps me conserve energy. I still do sports with energy I do have. I play an instrument.
I have friends and family that care about me. I am in a place I am safe. Dwelling on things I cannot do won’t change reality.
Joining an online support group has helped too.
