My ongoing recovery from CFS/ME.
CFS/ME
Painful Vulnerability
Nothing triggers my emotional insecurities like a pretty girl who appears disinterested in me. There’s one such girl in my Toastmasters club. Let’s call her Liz. She’s extraordinarily pretty, intelligent, slim, shy and endearing. Shy and endearing look pretty attractive on a girl. When she turned up to a club Read more…

My New Hairstyle
Ok, so here it is… my new hairstyle. I’ve been getting some pretty good feedback on it, and usually the person involved manages to keep a straight face. In acting class today, the teacher asked: “Have you had a haircut Graham?”. He was serious! It’s not too late to sponsor Read more…

Anxiety and Overwhelm
I felt anxious in acting class today, and somewhat overwhelmed. Felt a bit pissed off with life and the whole emotional struggle thing. I still have a backlog of email to read & answer from my meditation retreat, and an overdue book report to write. Plus I haven’t seen my Read more…

Sponsor me in The World’s Greatest Shave
I feel really tired today. Spent all morning in bed. Think I’ll go back there this afternoon. I realise that when I push myself, my symptoms just get worse; particularly the sore throat and cough. And my breathing gets really laboured, which is possibly the most annoying thing. I feel Read more…
CFS/ME
Can’t Sleep
I had a good day today; acting class was really fun. I did an exercise with one of the girls in the class where I was teasing her about flirting with me, and it was hysterical. One of the guys said I was “effortlessly funny”, and should take up comedy. Read more…

Is The Gupta Programme a 100% Cure?
I got an email today from a reader of this blog who could relate to my story. They asked how I was, whether parental conflict issues from childhood were common in CFS, and said they were having trouble thinking of the Gupta Programme as a 100% cure. Here’s my response: Read more…
