I'm overwhelmed with suffering from depression and daily pain - are you?

I am currently suffering daily to do anything and I mean anything. This chronic pain all over including muscle spasms is so disabling to me. Mentally and physically exhausted.

I understand. I'm same way. My spine is curved like a snake. The pain is horrible but I push myself to do some housework. The depression sets in and anxiety. We gotta stay strong! Soft hug to you from Louisiana.

same here it take me 3 days to cleanup my house because of chronic pain,

I deal with depression everyday as I cannot do anything

Hello, I am in pain and my son lives in another state and started his family. I think it is great but, I do not get him to understand---I am suffering!!! Once, he said "I will take care of you"!!! Surprise, that is as far as it gets; a verbal suggestion and nothing more. I wanted him to call me once a day. I am feeling so sick and full of pain. I am alone since my mother passed away and that is terrible to lose someone you love. Never mind, the fact that she did so much for me. We did everything together!! Not just my mother but my friend!!!! So, I am alone and I do not want to make demands on my son. He was in trouble for the purchase of a stolen car. He spent time in prison and now that he is back home--he is a husband and a father (first) never mind a son!!!!!!!!!!! What should we don in that situation??? I am open for suggestions. I also what to say to Lizzi, MANY BLESSINGS IN YOUR NEW POSITION.

Hi, I too get thru one day, one hour at a time. After six back surgeries this last year with absolutely NO improvement with my pain, in fact worse! Now they’ve cut me off all pain meds leaving me to just suffer everyday! Now I’m trying to get with pain management to help with the meds and what hoops they want me to jump thru! I have to prove I’m in pain and prove to them that I’m “worthy” of some help. Our medical system sucks. Drs are all worried about losing their license. They bring that up every time pain meds are discussed. I’m disgusted by the whole mess! I hope this email somehow encourages you! You’re not alone! Thom

Hello everyone,

How are you doing today?

This is a difficult discussion. Managing chronic pain, balancing work, and taking care of family responsibilities can indeed be so overwhelming. It’s completely understandable to feel like you’re trapped and carrying too much at once, like there’s no light at the end of the tunnel.

Have others in the community experienced similar moments where they feel like everything is too much? How do you cope when the burden of physical pain and mental stress becomes overwhelming? Have you found anything that help you push through these tough phases?

I have been under the care of a psychiatrist for two years now. I refused to go to a psychotherapist because I thought medication would be more effective. After 9 months on antidepressants, I went into remission for a year and had to see a therapist again for help. I also signed up for yoga and developed a good relationship with a yoga trainer. I had severe lower back pain for a long time, even though I had seen a doctor. After talking to my yoga coach, I became interested in grounding and researched aspects of it [This content has been moderated by an administrator]. Since I have been practicing yoga along with grounding, my lower back pain doesn't bother me as much and it really reduces my anxiety. It's a very good combination.
