The pain is beyond bearable. Dr's don't listen or care. Have nobody in my life and am out of any direction as the State and fed Gov't have tied it all up in knots with laws that discriminate and nothing anyone can or will do about it. Have contacted everyone in every level of Government known. There is nobody left to contact. It will be over soon as it is unbearable and the system is broke for injured workers with chronic pain. They crush you financially and penalize you for returning to work. Nobody cares or understands. Have been robbed, left for dead and have fought back but am out of any options left.

25 hang in there, this site will give you support and more. How sad to read you were robbed and left, words fail me when I think of where humanity has gone. Living in chronic pain nearly everything is debilitating in one way or another and joy or pleasure hard to find, but please, don't let it or the system win.

I am here if you want to talk or chat about anything. We are in the same boat. You are not alone. People do not want to hear our agony and suffering as they have enough of their own and they don't understand. Its all a me, myself and I world now unfortunately. Me well I am not one of them. If I can help I will. I am here by any means of communication you'd like as I have discovered the Precious Present.

Hi There, Just thinking about your friend's offer to take you shopping several days later. Of course that must really be a different hurt; one they themselves can understand. There are several places you can order over the internet (Walgreens often for me) that deliver orders free over $25.00 and my delivery arrives in only a few days. Quicker than relying on unreliable friends. Right??? Gerry |

In 2012 I finally admitted to my GP that I was so depressed from fighting chronic pain for over 20 years, cluster headaches for 20, coronary ischaemia for 6 and multiple other physical and mental health issues that I was on the verge of ending it.
He sent me to a counsellor who helped keep me going - somewhat - until 8 May 2013. At 8am on that day I was told I had diabetes. 2 hours later I was diagnosed with rectal cancer. Devastated, I called my counsellor for support and he told me he wasn't equipped to offer that level of support. Months of trust and treatment went down the drain. The next call I made changed everything. It was to my daughter to tell her my test results but she had the most wonderful news of her own - she was expecting, and I had a reason to fight on. Yesterday (8th) I was taken out for the first time in months to my Granddaughter's first birthday party! No matter how bad things get, something great may be just around the corne |

I agree with you, the way to keep going is to look beyond our suffering. We have to find external reasons to keep up the fight. There are a lot of great things happening out there. As bunged up as I am, I know that there are people who need me. |

Thanks for your kind words, I signed on here not for sympathy, but to reach others and learn/exchange. I cannot talk to family, and have no trust in Counsellors. As stated, one abandoned me at my darkest hour and another triggered anxiety attacks I had been successfully supressing for years just to prove they were still there.
If anyone wants to bounce anything off me - even just moan - feel free. |

You have like so many of us here on NT the right spirit. We all try so hard to get on with our daily lives and go about our days trying so hard to lessen the burden on our loved ones. Sometimes I think we try so hard they forget what got us here in the first place, we didn't consciously choose to be this way, it is something that has happened to us and if we could, we would immediately turn back the hands of time and change whatever action it was we took at the time that eventually lead to us becoming a victim to chronic pain.
To have the wonderful news of a baby joining your family is surely a sign life can go on, I'm sure that baby will bring you many moments of pure joy. Stay strong, I can empathise with you in so many ways, I've suffered chronic pain for well over 30 years, I'm fed up with it to my eye teeth, I'm over the side looks and rolled eyes from family members who should know better. Big hug to you
