I suffer from chronic pain

[FeelingTooMuch]

This is my first time posting here. I am partially disabled due to a chronic pain condition. I am really struggling with the constant thought that my husband and Son’s life would be better without me. I’m in pain both mentally and physically and have very little support. How do I justify continuing to live when sometimes I think they would honestly be happier after a while without me? Any advice is appreciated 😔

you need to live for you

Survive best you can

Be moral support and emotional support to family

You need them and they need you

I can hear how things are for you. It sounds really hard, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that you are going through this. I can say that your husband and son would be devastated without you. I'm sure you mean so much more to them than you realize.

Hi, please dont thik they would be better off without you, I highly doubt this is the case. Have you got enough pain medication? I personally think you should speak to your Dr about pain management, also there should be a pain management team, ask your Dr. Please get ome help from a professional, it souns like you are depresse understandably and it might help for you to get some either talking therapy or other help too, like medication, dpending on what your dr says. Also many years ago I knew someone who had constant pain and they were introduced to meditation. It all sounds abit simplistic and Im not saying it will cure all your ills, but it seemed to help him. When you are learning to deep breath this relaxes your muscles and the thinking of something else helps too. He had a proper meditation cd with a guided meditation that took him to a different place and from what I can gather it helped. I wish you all the best.

I understand the despair that comes with daily pain. In the past 10 years arthritis has progressed so much that I rarely leave the house. I have always been very independent and in great physical shape. Sometimes I feel so useless. I am starting to make peace with the fact that arthritis isn’t going to go away. No matter how bad it gets it would destroy my husband,daughters and grandkids if I took my life. You’re more than just a handicapped person. You’re not alone, these deeply depressed days and especially when I can barely walk I feel like a burden. Please keep posting, their are many people who care to listen. I care.🫂🌹
