Really struggling to deal with all this I am so exhausted I just want to curl under my bed all the time

In the past I have been diagnosed with CFS and anorexia. And in a roundabout way, this is how I ended up on this site!
Fortunately the GP I have now is brilliant, but have had a lot of battles with them in the past. Much has been down to their incompetence and inability to spot connections that seem obvious to me, but some down to me doing dumb things (eg during a manic episode writing a 10 page rant to one GP, littered with capital letters and explaining the meaning of life) 
CBT can be a great help but it doesn't address the physical causes of CFS, which are different in each patient. I like the approach of Dr Sarah Myhill, who is based in North Wales and has had plenty of battles herself with the medical profession!

She has written a book about CFS called "Mitochondria not Hypochondria" which looks very interesting.
