Kidney pain and history of depression

[mete7081]

I currently haev problems with kidney stones, and along with a 30+ year history of anxiety/depression, and bipolar mood disorder, it makes the physical pain very hard to deal with.

I had a kidney stone back in '13. Not a particularly big one (about 4mm) but wow did it ever hurt. I also have GAD and dysthymia with spikes of major. When the kidney would try to kick out the stone, I would just writhe and cry. It would take a break for a couple hours and make me think it was gone (I didn't know what was happening) but then it would come back. Finally went to the ER and they shot me up with something that dissolved it.

First thing, get those stones yanked out or dissolved, something. Then you can face the mental troubles with that hand free at least.
