Hi all I'm forever coming on here for help and advice. I've been doing better with my depression and anxiety lately but tonight I'm at a all time low. Pain meds arnt working or anti depressants and I'm having very dark thoughts of hurting myself. It just seems all I feel is pain. And trying to hold down a job is beginning to become a struggle. Sorry I just feel like I need to say this to others than my loved ones.

Thanks xxx

    I feel so bad for you, I am diagnosed with FMS but I don't have the pain all the time. I do have all the points that are tender but my biggest complaint is I can't breathe right. I wish I could give you some good advice but I can't, other than I hear you and definitely feel your frustration. I hope you are ok.

      Hi Not really I had my cbt last night X

      So that really helped with the dark feelings. I don't know what to do anymore in regards to medicine. I'm going to try to get a appointment with my gp. It's hard 🙁🙁

    Hey smc187

    I wish I could say words that would help you through but I too am going through a really rough patch so all I can offer is mutual understanding.

    I'm trying to hold down my job too. I have recently moved to a three day week and amended my hours to avoid the rush hour traffic maybe this is something you can look into with your job? It is helping me although I am still struggling to even do this.

    I really wish you the best, hang in there.

      Thanks I can't afford to do that right now. I asked for the pip forms thinking if I could get something I could maybe cut my hours a little. I have some many people that love and care for me and my partner is brilliant but I'm feeling alone and I don't know how to tell him this without him thinking of that he's not being supportive because he is.

      Thank U again xx

    That's what we are here for, it's a matter of going to doctors and trying to work out a pain management programme, what works for somebody could be not for you, there's not a quick answer I'm afraid good luck

      Thanks Trisha I no there's no quick fix or answer but it's frustrating when there are others getting drugs they don't even need and people like us who need them can't. I've been reading up on Lycra but here in Belfast they are now taking it as a street drug and because I'm 24 the docs are saying its a risk to have them. The game isn't right. Thanks for ur kind words.

      Xx

    We are all dealt a hand in life, once we get our heads around that, then it seems to help us accept our life for what good things we have in our lives and try to dwell on those good things 🙂

    Hello.

    I am so sorry to hear this. I know how you feel. I suffer extremely with FMS.

    I have extreme pain all day every day. I never sleep through the night. I am always exhausted and always in agony.

    I have more bad days thanow good. And I'm lucky to have a day where I feel ok.

    I wish there was some advise or help I could offer you other than just my understanding.

    I'm here if you want to talk. Xx
