You have a way of showing love to people around you. This could be through helping out a coworker in need, or simply offering a listening ear to your friends and family when they need it. Your kindness is unquestionable and has made a big impact on many lives.

You always see the positive side of a situation. You’re not one of those people who wonder whether a glass is half empty or half full, instead you’re the person who thinks the glass is completely full! Your optimism makes people look to you for guidance.

Your dedication to your job, or your hobby, is evident to everyone who meets you. You never give up on your dreams and you aren’t afraid to work for them. Even if you don’t have the money to afford a new dress or pair of shoes, that doesn’t stop you from trying. Your passion is a shining light to those who admire you.

You are a natural problem solver, and you know how to find creative solutions in the most unexpected ways. You may not be a GQ model or Victoria’s Secret sexy, but you have a great sense of style that has people stopping and staring. You’re also a master at making people laugh, and your sense of humor is contagious.

I’m always impressed by your ability to help others, even when it comes at a cost to yourself. Your friends and family count on you to be there for them, and I’ve seen how much it means to them that you always try to help in any way that you can.

You’re an incredible person with a lot to offer the world, and I know that you’ll keep on shining your bright light wherever you go. I’m glad that you’re in my life and I want to thank you for all of the positive impacts that you have on everyone who knows you.

Many people will have taken a quiz or two in their lives to discover more about themselves. Quizzes usually focus on a few key traits and can give you a good idea of how others see you. But a true and accurate picture of yourself can only be obtained by talking to friends, family or colleagues who know you well.

A ‘me’ assessment can also be useful to those looking for a job or considering career changes. Interviewers often ask candidates to describe themselves, primarily to gauge whether their skills and experiences match the role and company culture. However, this is not the only reason to do so; a detailed self-assessment can help you identify your strengths and weaknesses, and improve how you communicate them.

If you are suffering from ME/CFS, it is important to speak to your doctor about the symptoms and how they impact your daily life. Some people find it difficult to work, and up to a quarter are housebound. It is important to understand that this can be a long-term condition, and that it may change your lifestyle on a regular basis, with periods of worsening symptoms known as relapses.

ME/CFS is thought to be caused by a variety of factors. The most common are heavy fatigue, unrefreshing sleep and difficulty thinking and concentrating. It is also thought to be triggered by viral infections, including infectious mononucleosis, and can get worse after physical or mental exertion. The illness is more commonly found in women and may occur up to four times more often in adolescents and young adults.

It is often misdiagnosed, which can make it difficult to get a correct diagnosis and treatment. ME/CFS is a complex illness with no single diagnostic test or biomarker, but medical professionals can use the 2015 US National Academy of Medicine criteria to establish a diagnosis.

Some of the symptoms that can occur include a sudden feeling of tiredness after prolonged activity, muscle or joint pain, headaches and trouble thinking or concentrating. Symptoms can also be exacerbated by certain activities, such as climbing stairs or sitting for extended periods of time. It is important to try to avoid these triggers where possible, and to have a routine that can help you to relax.

It is also important to remember that there is no cure for ME/CFS, but interventions and symptom-reduction strategies can significantly improve your quality of life. If you have ME/CFS, it is helpful to talk to other people who are living with the condition and seek support from your family, friends and your ME Association local branch. You can also access information and advice online, or join an ME/CFS forum to chat with other people living with the condition. This can be particularly beneficial in reducing feelings of isolation.
