I can empathize with you and if it wasn’t for this community I don’t know what I would do. I confided in my best friend that I was profoundly depressed because of my PN pain and some evenings I will cry uncontrollably. She said that wasn’t normal to feel this depressed about my condition because “It’s nothing life threatening”, says the person who has never had PN. She also berated me for trying a topical THC/CBD product whom my doctors have had no trouble with me using. I feel like I’m on this island, adrift from the rest of humanity. The medical facility I went to recently had me set to meet virtually with a pain psychologist and they called a couple of days ago to cancel my appointment on the 19th of this month to three weeks later so addressing my mental health will have to wait a while longer. Your last two sentences brought me to tears. I pray every day not just for myself but for all of us that they can find a cure or universally effective treatment, very soon. I am so thankful for this forum where we can share ideas and our feelings with those who walk this painful road which others cannot understand.
