I understand the mental ups and downs. It can be hard to face the day. I have been on a road of rocky emotions and it goes hand in hand with my pain level and any new conditions of course. I have just went back to a psychtrist which actually I see today again. So far no change in mood/sleep and I still have mixed feelings about going again but am willing. My gramps who is 85 is more active then me and in better health so it is sort of depressing My mom though is my hope and strength and I hope I find a better treatment as I go back for another procedure tomorrow since my iv failed. Will see. I guess one day at a time and like in past threads holding to hope
