"We can't help you until you accept the condition, and accept you will never be the person you were before". (Specialist CFS Team on NHS). This is what Jan was told when she relapsed with M.E (myalgic encephalomyelitis), chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Yet, it couldn't be true: she had recovered on her own before and then learnt how to stay healthy. Have you been told to accept chronic fatigue syndrome or Long Covid? Be assured you CAN recover from CFS, and from symptoms in Long COVID, associated with your autonomic system going out of balance. You can break the cycle, reset your autonomic system and thrive again. As a former lecturer in Health and Social Care, a therapist and an experienced practitioner running her own Reset to Thrive Recovery Programme, Jan shares her expertise about recovery, and shows you how to stay healthy. Having retired as a practitioner and trainer, she is on a mission to show everyone how they can recover. Find out why there is so much confusion and limiting beliefs in the world of M.E/ chronic fatigue syndrome or Long Covid fatigue, and how they impact on recovery. Understand the science behind the symptoms, and learn how to work with the body to rebalance the autonomic system, enabling your body to recover and thrive again. You will be guided through step by step, at your own pace, and offered techniques to speed up recovery, before being shown what it takes to stay healthy and robust, no matter what challenges life brings. There is no magic, just the magic of the body. The answer lies within ourselves and within the covers of this book.

PSYCHIATRIST: So how can I help you?

ME: I don't know, I'm-what's the word-depressed? Do I have to go into detail?

Baek Sehee is a successful young social media director at a publishing house when she begins seeing a psychiatrist about her-what to call it?-depression? She feels persistently low, anxious, endlessly self-doubting, but also highly judgmental of others. She hides her feelings well at work, but the effort is exhausting, overwhelming, and keeps her from forming deep relationships. This can't be normal. But if she's so hopeless, why can she always summon a desire for her favorite street food: the hot, spicy rice cake, tteokbokki? Is this just what life is like?

Recording her dialogues with her psychiatrist over a twelve-week period, and expanding on each session with her own reflective micro-essays, Baek begins to disentangle the harmful behaviors that keep her locked in a cycle of self-abuse. Part memoir, part self-help book, I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki is a book to keep close and to reach for in times of darkness.
