Hi I am sorry you are having this family problem. I can relate as I am having family issues in a different way. While I know that are rsd impacts and takes a toll on our family they need to learn to cope as well. I have real issues when people tell one who is dealing with this how to cope. I feel it is very important to use your voice and tell family etc how to help and what is bothering you. This does not always help like for me I was in tears basically all day after a conversation with my grandfather but at least I got some suff off my chest. I know for me I waited too long to get into psychiatric care. My depression and anxiety got way out of control. Is there a way you could go? It has not helped my pain but has helped how I respond and view to it. Though I am going through a hard time right now in all aspects. I have a few people I met through here and have been close friends with them for 3 years. Even the people I just respond or respond to me here help on many of the hard days to feel I am not alone and also to push through those very bad days. I have had times where I took breaks from the boards at times cause I needed to as well. I guess my point is to look at what you need to do to get through the days. If you want an email buddy I am here too.
