Pain and depression

[Wow5824]

I suffer with pain daily. I manage to do daily activities, at a diminished capacity. It is very frustrating to not be able to do what I want. That is where the depression comes in. I have let go of my former self, but still wish I could be the way I was. I struggle with my weight and being social.
