It is never easy to survive the weekend when you have M.E. You often don't feel well enough to go shopping with friends, out for a meal or drinks with your partner or sit in the car for hours on the way to visit family.
So, my advice is don't set yourself big goals, just try a little each day until you are able to do more. Always attempt to get fresh air, even if you just open the window in the room where you are lying. As you will know if you are an M.E. sufferer, there are varying degrees and stages of suffering - some could not even get to the computer to read this blog, many are affected by bright lights or everyday chemicals to the point where they are stuck in one room. Others, like myself, now, will lead fairly normal lives but will still have setbacks, bad days and periods of immense fatigue and little resistance to illness.
Whatever your state of health you can still find things in life to enjoy - the blue skies (when it isn't raining!), a short walk even if it's just to the postbox, watching a film with a loved one - and the weekend can signify a greater human presence around you.
Make the most of these people. Make the effort to do something, no matter how small and make yourself smile - how you do that is up to you
