I can totally relate with all of your symptoms.

You may want to check into state disability since you are sick and unable to work. Are you a single parent or do you have a partner or family who can help you? You can check if you are able to qualify for any state benefits for healthcare/supplemental income, etc. Mental health support may be available for free, depending on income/resources.

It seems that there is no cure for EBV and the best they have now is treatment of symptoms with pain relievers, rest, fluids, staying home due to contagious nature of EBV, etc. It is best to manage/reduce stress as best as possible and strengthen your immune system through diet/vitamins/minerals, etc. to avoid triggering and awakening a dormant virus.
