I have MDD and also have chronic pain - arthritis and fibromyalgia. Does the pain make your depression worse? How do you deal with it?
Absolutely, depression follows pain
I try as best I can to try to stay positive. Just recently had back surgery (a laminectomy) and pray when my 6 weeks is up I feel as good as I do.while still on.meds. The meds never helped me before surgery. No.fun living In pain!
@A MyDepressionTeam Member I have have arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Their are days I crying because my fingers hurt so bad. Beautiful then I have to focus on me. Then think of all the good times I have had when my fingers and arthritis was not bothering me. I do a lot of praying each day to lessen the pain. It’s not easy getting older.
@A MyDepressionTeam Member I know for me once I feel so overwhelmed with body pain my anxiety follows. I have learn to work doing things to bring good thoughts back into balance. It's not easy.
@A MyDepressionTeam Member I have lots of things wrong with my back, neck, knees and feet so yes that along with my anxiety and depression all mixed together makes days very hard as I try to get relief from one thing and another will flair up and vice versa so it is a continue battle that some times I don’t think I will make it through.
Yes and it makes me more depressed
