I feel like all I do is live but Im not really living.
I want to be able to go outside of the house and go anywhere I want without wondering how many people will be there. I want to get into the shape I was 2 years ago by going to the gym and not being afraid to go. I want to go in my car and drive anywhere I want without worrying about what happens if I get lost, I pay money to own the car so why cant I use the car and go out places? I deserve to be able to live my life like everyone else does? What is the point of living if you dont really feel alive?
Sorry for the vent and thanks for listening...

I have asked this question too...but the truth is that life is worth something for us all. but we have to find what that is for ourselves. I am not really feeling alive nor am I feeling like I want to die...i just am...but I have to believe there is a reason for us or I will go insane. you will find that even the smallest things in life can bring us the greatest joy...all you have to do is look.......

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
