Welcome Andrea, sorry for the reason you had to find us.
Yes, RSD/CRPS effects us all so differently. I've had my emotional bouts
with this disease as well. Not exactly as you've described but still irregular
for me.
I guess that's the reason so many of us are prescribed an antidepressant with
side effects of nerve pain suppression as soon as we're dx'd.

This is a great, understanding (we get it) group. I think we've all had our rants
on here and we see each other through.
