I've had CRPS for over 8 years and I still have spurts where I'm upset, then I'm ok with it, then upset again. I found myself asking "what's the point in being depressed about this?" Those feelings are not helpful whatsoever. I've met many people with CRPS and those that are doing the best seem to have the best attitudes. That's just my observation though.

Finding a PM doc that truely listens to you and one that has a genuine interest in your wellbeing may help with your acceptance of this disease. Most people are not going to understand CRPS. I mean, did you hear about this prior to your diagnosis? Not many people have. We have to remember that even though we feel we're "experts" on this, far more people are ignorant to its existence.
