 Depression and anxiety are a normal part of the experience of anyone who experiences chronic pain. But that's just the beginning. There are so many other aspects of your life that start getting affected. It's the terrible triangle of pain, lack of sleep, and sadness. Depression and irritability lead to fatigue and bone weariness. You are so sleepy all the time but you can't get a good night's sleep. You want to stop the pain and you want to get to sleep. All this trouble tends to lead to alcoholism, drug abuse, getting surgeries which are unnecessary, and family misery.
Your appetite may be gone or you may eat yourself silly with the pain and depression. It's almost impossible for you to have any kind of social life because you have to be medicated to do much of anything. As a result, you are no longer a part of your former world. You are less active and perhaps you start to gain weight. You can't exercise like you used to because it hurts too much. Then your clothes don't fit. |
