We are not our diagnosis

I’ve found The Sedona Method of “letting go” helpful in dealing with my stress and anxiety about feeling ill for so long. I use it on and off on a daily basis, especially when I feel myself getting anxious about things not being the way that I want them to be. What we resist persists, and I definitely maximise my suffering when I focus on how things aren’t the way I’d like them to be. Resisting causes stress, and stress compromises our immune system. So whether CFS turns out to be purely stress-related or due to some infectious agent or immune system problem, dealing with the stress and emotional stuff that illness brings up is bound to help.
