For #MeAwarenessHour I have tried to put into words the confusion, fear and isolation I felt before my diagnosis. It took over three months before anyone mentioned the word ME. That time was a horrid cycle of self-doubt. It was my first term at uni and I thought I was failing 1/3
My degree. I questioned whether I was good enough for Oxford. Maybe I was lazy. Maybe I just had freshers flu. Could this be ageing (at 18)? I would drag myself to my desk barely able to lift my head off the table. I would go to the library loos just to shut my eyes and rest 2/3
I made myself so much worse because nobody told me it could be ME. This is why we need #MEawareness. This is why we need doctor education. This is why we must not repeat mistakes with #LongCovid. This is why we need spaces like #NEISvoid. Nobody should go through this alone. 3/3
