Dear Corafree,
I hadn't noticed this thread until now. I am touched to see that this thread is a response to a post I wrote in late 2001 called "the memorial." Were you reading my old posts and noticing that our lives are similar? I have fibromyalgia, arthritis. I had a will made up before I wrote the post. I can relate to you. I can even relate to taking a pain pill with a pepsi. I used to do that too.
Three years later, I read that old post of mine, and I am so grateful not to feel suicidal and depressed. My life has changed completely. My depression and anxiety have subsided a great deal. My life is so much fuller and richer than it was. I have a lot of love in my life. Love and hope.
Please don't give up hope. Please understand that if someone like me, whose life was so similar to yours, can come to be happy, so can you. Life's circumstances can change drastically, and time can heal many wounds.
Please keep communicating.
