To be honest Alex,the 'get knackered easy, have no stamina, poor co-ordination, poor short term an visual memory, facial agnosia' thng sounds like ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis). Find the ME society on Google, and call them. They have a 14 point test. But don't be donwhearted, it is fairly easy to deal with.

Shit, I'm very sorry to hear that.The medical profession don't like ME, as it's difficult (for them) to diagnose it, and difficult (for them) to treat. For the rest of us, it's common sense; take it easy, read a lot, walk 2 or 3 miles every day, try to do a Hay diet (don't mix proteins and carbohydrates). Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) for you, alcahol and ME don't mix. Try weed instead. My ex who sufferd it very badly, found E helped a huge amount too...
Edit: And, as Ms Viper suggests, loads of sex.

Poppers may make you feel good,but unprescribed you can damage the heart.

i. believe it or not, have been treatedat various points in my life for ME, narcolepsy and depression (and, briefly, leukaemia, although i didn't actually have it - it's a long story).
the only thing that i could advise is that no matter how bad it feels right now, it can and will get better. no matter how black it feels, there will always be a pin-prick of light in the distance. it may be so small that you can't see it right now, but you''d be surprised how quickly it becomes visible.
go to the doctor and a shot of serotonin - you may have to try a couple of different types and there's a small chance you'll react nastily to one, which may make it a little worse for a while, but it's worth it.
there's no definitive answer on how to get over it, unfortunately. but it'll come. trust me.
