Where to start.........Hmm....I have social anxiety and depression and borderline personality disorder. I have been married now for 15 years and have a 13 year old daughter and an 11 years old son. I was injuryed almost 2 years ago and I have a bulging disc and a pinched nerve. The pain is always there and so far I have been tol by one specialist that there isn't any need for an operation. I am still waiting to see another specialist. I just started a stronger pain medication 2 days ago and I am feeling a bit strange, of course the pain is still there, just a bit less intense. Since this has happened I have been told I have to learn to live with the pain, and it is so hard to accept. It has changed my life and my families, I feel guilty for being in the way, for slowing everyone down. My patience are very short and then I feel guilty about that too. It seems I am on a rollercaster in my own home, I don't want my kids to grow up watching their mom pop pills all the time, I take so many...Anti-depres and mood stabalizer and then 2 regular ones for pain and then a pain killer. My depression has gotten worse then it has ever been before this injury. How do people cope?
