    Let's Talk Depression October 9, 2022

    Total shutdown #Depression #Anxiety #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder #RockBottom #Fear #chonicpain #moodswings #MentalHealth

    I haven't posted anything for a long time. I've been struggling with extreme anxiety mixed with depression for more than a decade.
    Today I feel like I've hit rock bottom. No meds help, though I've been taking them dilogently for years under medical supervision. In therapy I finally realised that I'm unable to regulate my emotions due to childhood trauma that never even occured to me before but it is spot on. So now I'm in my bed with severe back pain, gastrointestinal issues i complete freeze state. Crying since yesterday, feeling guilty for not being able to overcome my limitations, falling back to old patterns and symptoms. So ashamed. My family deserves better, the guilt is eating me up. I have no idea how I could go to work and be functional tomorrow. Everything is painful. I'm shaking and shivering covered in my bed and don't know how to go on. My mind perfectly understands this situation but the body says no, freezes and shuts down. I'm an emotional wreck.
    Sorry for this rant but I need to vent and hear your experiences.
    Thx for reading my post.

    Still new to this

    Can't stop pushing my self far beyond my limits. Still trying to express my thoughts & this has been a safe place so far. Idk, I guess its Thursday. I was up all night Monday, slept on Tuesday, since I was so exhausted. Up all night again due too pain. I Pushed myself so far pastvany limit. I don't know know what to say. If I go into it I feel like I'm complaining. I did what had ro be done. All I know is i can't get my increased pain through to my Dr's. Idk i guess thats just how it is#chonicpain #Migraine #Isolation

    Amazing!

    Last night we went for a midnight drive and I was looking at our city lights and thinking of this group!!
    We are all facing some sort of darkness, so we are all in it together and each dot of light is a member of this group supporting one another. We are each others light and just look how bright and beautiful our kindness can be!

    If you suffer from daily chronic pain and do not use any form of prescribed medication, would you help me by participating on a short survey ?

    I am writing a book “Joy in the Midst of Pain” about the different non-prescription methods some of us are using to cope with pain. So I would like to ask anyone in this group who suffers from daily chronic pain (of any form) and do not use any form of prescribed medication (does not include the occasional Advil, Tylenol etc) to help me by participating on a short survey questionnaire. Please note all participants will remain anonymous. If you or someone you know would be interested in being part of this book, or have questions, please contact me via message. I believe this book could be very helpful to many of us who suffer from pain or know someone who does. Thank you in advance for your willingness to be part of my book. #SpinalStenosis #chonicpain #SpinalFusion #SpinalSurgery #BackPain #Pain

    is it really that bad if my son needs a nap and my wife or my dad drive him to sleep if I try and put him down and he won’t go to sleep after 45 mins?

    I’m exhausted have no chest expansion and can’t sing. my wife works and come home my son refuses his nap so she drives him to sleep is this really such a bad thing? my mother seems to thinks it’s atrocious! #chonicpain

    sleeping with chronic pain

    This is what I require just to sleep at night. Five pillows and I still need two more. I also need my favorite blanket and my cat. it’s exhausting. Makes me not want to even try to lay down because it won’t be restful. I’ll spend most of the night tossing and turning in pain. I do my stretches, take my meds, meditate, use oil etc. & still this is what I have to do. #frustrated #chonicpain #Fibromyalgia #Sleep
