Angry Being a Burden

I need some advice. I have RSD in both my hands but it is worse in the one. It is so bad that I cannot get my own food or beverages. Even though the pain is subsiding a bit, I still do not have the strength nor relief enough to prepare food or drinks for myself. How do I stop myself from feeling like a burden to my family? I hate having to ask for this and that every 10 minutes. I have to make sure I drink a lot of fluids due to the dry mouth from my meds, and it makes it that much harder. I don't know what to do. I need help not feeling like a burden. How do I get past that, what can I do to help myself. I am not depressed which I am greatful for, but I can't get past the "I am a burden on my family" stage. It is almost 8 years and I am still stuck in this stage.
