Being Old With Chronic Pain plus Loneliness

To whomever-there is nothing more debilitating that being nothing more than a burden on society. I see myself as a useless piece of crap. Had an appointment w/ PCP this morning-a total disaster and it was not even my fault. Computers/keyboards failing. All of the noise sent me into PTSD. Final outcome-BP through the roof and being prescribed a BP med. Thank you technology for what you have done to my psyche. If I were a horse I would have been shot long ago. Yes, I am in a horrid place!!! Have to take another inappropriate med or be w/o a PCP. No need trying to explain or I will be locked up in a loony bin and forced to take poison.
So sorry. I am so discouraged and feeling so all alone. Oh please God, I can take no more of this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I understand and was screaming at God yesterday. My son who has bipolar illness lives with me and I feel so horrible that his mother has to be this person she does not want to be. Maybe going back for massage therapy and foot cleansing that I used to do often was working. I will try again and stick with that program. KateN
Comforting thing about at God is...He is big enough to take it.
@kjnor Are you helping or enabling your son? I know other parents who do this. There are many who are bipolar and function. Also those who use their bipolar disorder as an excuse to be pathetic and use others.
Not an accusation. A thought.
Im so sorry how you feel today Pain is so debilitating and that Dr.is a jerk .I,ve had days like this instead of feeling sorry for myself I take a hot tub bath with music on and soak for awhile.It helps to use Epsom Salts and some drops of Lavender oil in the water.Whatever pain pill you have take it ,relax then in tub.This to shall pass,feel better

Hello @parus
I'm so sorry that your appointment with the PCP went so badly today - you certainly did not need that! Please be assured that you do have value. You can see beauty in the world around you and you can verbalize your pain in a most descriptive way. I know how discouraging a difficult appointment can be, but remember that this was just one appointment and you are stressed right now. Give yourself some time to rest, recoup and look for the good in the days to come.
We appreciate and value your input - no matter how you are feeling.
