What do you do when you don’t know what to do? I had been managing okay, more or less, then injured my back in October and still have pain, still waiting for further treatment. My job has gone from being a distraction that I enjoyed to something I almost hate, even though it’s now only 2 days a week. I hate being at work but hate being at home because my activity is limited. Can’t job hunt with a broken back, can’t utilize some previous coping skills. My marriage is a mess, could go live with my parents but can’t make a big move because of my back. The marriage and job stress have brought back my chronic insomnia and worsened my depression. Not a day goes by that I don’t spend part of it crying. I have a therapist, and it helps to talk about what’s going on, but she can’t fix it. Almost want to go in the hospital again. Thanks if you made it through this vent.

Fuzzybear, thanks for the hug. It hurts to put your emotions out there and get no response, so I truly appreciate it.

Hi Pixielouwho,
I am going through a similar but not quite as severe experience. I had a hip replacement 5 weeks ago and at the 3 weeks mark I got very depressed. Being at home, still not able to do much and not able to do the things that normally help my depression, such as exercise, was tough. I also felt useless since I could not do my usual chores. I work 3 days a week and went back last week. Although I was exhausted, it did help my mood. I am sorry you are going through this. It sounds like you are having a really hard time and not getting a lot of support. I'm glad you have therapist to talk to about it. I will be thinking about you and hoping for a speedy recovery (and speedy approvals for treatment) |

Hang in there! Vent when and if you need to. Things could always be worse. At least you have parents to fall back on and a therapist. I've learned nothing will magically fix our problems. You just need help to manage your issues.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
