Chronic pain has driven me to do things that I would not normally do. I am highly anxious, depressed, and just want it to all end. The normal positive person I used to be is gone. Prayers needed.

Seeing a Therapist and getting help and learning how to cope with these issues can be very, very helpful.

Please consider talking to a professional about this....these types of depressive feelings can take over before you even know they have and it can turn into a very dangerous situation.

If you can't afford a private Therapist or Psychologist/Psychiatrist, check with your Counties Social Services department, they have a Mental Services department that offers Therapist services.

If your religious and have a regular church that you go to, even talking to your Pastor on a steady basis can help, if you can't get the other.

Skip the prayers and find a therapist! They aren't just there for the mentally ill but those being driven crazy by such things as chronic pain. Too many end it all from pain when there is help waiting for you! Been there and doing it.

OldCPer is right!

You re doing the right thing by reaching out and asking for help- that's a big first step. In order to get some immediate help and action though, I have to agree with OldCPer, get in contact with someone that you can speak to face to face. You are not alone in this battle, there are people who can help you through the rough times such as these. You have a lot on your plate right now and an extra hand to guide you through is just what you need. Answer me back when you can. I private messaged you. Until then, hang in hon, gentle hugs and prayers surround you:)
