Our pup the missus and I got 12 years ago is on her very last days. I'm going to miss her tremendously. Made me think of what would happen if no missus and it's not a great thought.

not sure if anyone else has suggested, but has she been checked for infections? sometimes lyme disease can present as CFS/ME

Same goes with low iron.
May I suggest to anyone who suffers sleeplessness, anxiety, aches and pains, the morning ritual of just trying to get up out of bed the use of 'grounding mats/sheets'.
I've started using both and whilst I won't say they are the be all and end all for curing all ailments since I started I've found that I wake up feeling more refreshed and purposeful than before.
They work by removing the negative ions in the body and it's a science that seems to have substance. Whilst both - the grounding mats (which are designed for occasional use during the day) and bed sheets - require plugging into the mains there is actually no electricity running through them like an electric blanket so it is safe to lie on them all night. It appears the reasoning behind the science is that the connection between the grounding sheet and the mains is simply to act as a conduit for the removal of the negative ions from within the body.
For more and better information Google 'Grounding Well'.

I also offer no guarantee of their efficacy other than saying that I've personally found an improvement in my wellbeing and there are many similar testimonies from others who have tried these products but, as always, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH.

Wondering if she has had a brain scan?. I was diagnosed with CFS/ME about 10 years ago, it was horrendous, very dark days, no life at all for years. Fast forward 7 years and i was being scanned to rule out medical reasons for Tinnitus. They discovered i had Hydrocephalus and another year later i had a VP Shunt fitted in the brain. CFS/ME symptoms vanished straight away. If bloods all come back okay they usually go down the CFS/ME diagnosis route but it isn't always the case there many things mimic CFS/ME, keep pushing for answers.
Proper having a wobble at the moment.
Really struggling at work and I am constantly on edge. Feeling extremely demotivated with life in general and actively questioning the point. Which is crap, but fortunately not so severe I am considering doing anything. Well, aside from rage quitting my job. Although, that probably won't resolve anything ultimately.
Going to try and speak to my GP later. Bluergh. Sorry, just needed a space to vent.

Never say sorry mate, vent as much as you can, it's the talking that will get you through this. Don't try and speak to GP, do it mate you need to. As cliche as it sounds, things will get better mate, keep at it. Always someone here if you need to talk. Take care
Thanks mate. Yeah, got an appointment at half 8. It's all been building for some time. In waves almost. I get down, stressed and anxious and then have a period of okayness. Then it'll be another period of the dark side, but it seems to be more dark than light in recent times.
Need to get myself sorted for myself and everyone around me. I don't think my apathy and disconnect is fair on my work colleagues for a start.

Forget about that part mate it's you that you need to look after, if your work colleagues have anything about them they'll be understanding in however you are, while you're feeling this way.Unfortunately that's how Depression and Anxiety works the dark days seem so much darker than the light. What you hold onto is the fact that some are light and slowly build. Might not be a quick process what you're going to have to go to but look for the positives in anything you can and try and remember them when the dark takes over. Let us know how you get on at GP (If you don't mind). Good luck
Been signed off with stress for two weeks initially with a course of antidepressants.

Glad you took the first steps mate, it's always the hardest part. Now you need to keep as busy as possible, try not to sit around doing nowt, anything and everything helps. Which antidepressant have they put you on?, don't use google to check up on it, all you'll see is negative usually .
All the best mate. Hope the time off gives you a bit of breathing space and that you're feeling better as soon as you can be.
Have gone through this a few times and never feels too far away from the next time either. For me your trying to put on a brave face and be the joker or that when inside all you want to do is.go home lock the door and clothes the curtains from the outside world.
It’ll take 2/3 weeks for them to kick in and it can take a bit of tweaking to get the right one / doseage too.
I wouldn’t be expecting to go back to work after 2 weeks mate and don’t feel pressured to go back either, as that sick note for work related stress protects you from any pressure your work may put on you to return, whether subtle or not
My missus is going through the exact same thing with her work at the mo.
