Believe it or not, lots of people feel like the way you do, I have been there several times, it was mostly because I was depressed. I went to therapy and that helped a lot, and when that was not enough I talked to my Dr. who put me on antidepressants, that worked, it took a while. I even went to a psychiatrist, who also diagnosed depression & anxiety, so we made a few changed in my med's. I had been on Prozac for 10 years and built up a tolerance to it, put me on Zoloft, the same thing happened after 10 years my brain said "No More". So then the search was on, I have spent the last 3 years suffering, I am now on a drug called Cymbalta, it addresses depression & anxiety, plus I take Mirtazepine to help me sleep, also Desyrel for sleep, I have always had sleep problems in my life, I take Melatonin, I buy it at Walmart it is cheap. I am on a thyroid med, if your thyroid is out of wack it can cause depression, your Dr. can do a simple blood test to find out your level. So I would say talk to your Dr. can you go to therapy? I love therapy and have gone to one on one, also group, they were all great. I have a wonderful therapist now, we seldom talk about my past, she wants to know how I am feeling, what are my thoughts, how am I coping, she gives me love, constant support, encouragement, tells me it is not my fault I feel the way I do, my brain is tired and stressed and needs rest and sound sleep. I am feeling so much better, and getting back to my old self. If I can do it so can You. We will support you and offer help so write to us here, let us know how you are doing, we care. I send you love, faith, joy and happiness along with Big Hugs....Sprinkle 1.....

What happened before all the pain? What caused it?

Would you like to talk about it on here or in a private message ?

If not that's OK too.
