there is help!! for about 5 years i was diagnosed with arthritis ( i am a 32 year old female) and treated for it, but none of the medications worked. it wasnt until i had repeat visits that they finally screened me for depression and suggested psycho-therapy. although i cannot say that my depression is gone, i CAN say that the stress, pain and constant sleeping is getting better. i dont have any physical pain anymore, nor do i have any rage-fits (i also have bipolar II disorder) anylonger. my friends and family think that the combined psychologist weekly visits and my psychiatrist working together is the best thing that has happened to all of us...'
i have hope now, and i like you thought that everyone lived in such dead space just like me....
i hope that helped - i know how horrific it is to be so gray.
