I am 20 years old and I have had RSD/CRPS for about 5 years. I have come here in what feels like a last resort because I am sick and tired of trying to make the people around me understand what I am going through. I realize now, that I have looked in all of the wrong places for support. Most of the people around me have either left, or stayed around just long enough to kick me while I am down. I have never asked for pity or sympathy, I just want someone to talk to, and for someone to listen. Apparently that is a lot to ask for.

Based on that please tell me if I am in the right place. I don't know where to post either. There's the RSD topic, the chronic pain topic and the general emotions topic. I have been hurt way too much from people who pretend to care, or should care. I am afraid of reaching out to strangers, since my own family and friends even won't help me. I also need accurate first hand information on certain diseases, medications and procedures. I have been through a lot but there is still a lot to come.
