Like I want to cry all the time. My relationship has been very strained. He's been kinda of an *** which isn't helping. we were both let go from our jobs around thanksgiving but have still been making ends meet. I just don't know what to do. I have an appt on 01/03 or the 6th i cant remember. But I just cant shake this depressed feeling..........

I'm sorry for what you're going through. Medical Conditions don't take a holiday so it's probably hard to enjoy them. I know that depressed feeling. It's horrible.There are so many times where I get emotionally, mentally and physically exhausted. That's when I feel like crying all the time. Everything takes a toll. Our whole lives have to get rearranged to be able to deal with this disease.
Christmas Eve and Day caused so much pain I won't be moving very much for the next 10 days. My entire back (not RSD) kills, my entire right leg, foot, butt-RSD. I wish I had a morphine drip.
Staying positive is a chore for me. It's a coping mechanism I guess but hard at the same time. It's either that or be sad every second and I can't, won't, do that. I cope by having my 2 small dogs that put a smile on my face. They're always with me. I have my hobbies (ones that I can do laying in bed crochet knit). I have to stay busy every second or I think of all the crap I've been dealt. As long as I have my TV, Laptop, dogs and hobbies I can "survive".
I hope things improve for your soon health, relationship and job wise!
Take Care!
