Depression and Anxiety at an older age

@merpreb Yes, it is the circle of trying to find some pain relief that had me anxious and frustrated. Maybe there are no answers. Who knows? I do not have a history of pain or fatigue with depression. Nothing can be done seems to be the verdict. How about discouraged for now? Seeing so many different medical professionals has been a dead end thus far... I know it seems worse than it is.

@parus I'm assuming you've been to a pain clinic at some point and that was not helpful either? I went through probably a dozen psychiatrists before I finally found the one who could get me out of that hole. I'm not "healed" but I'm not in that really bad place anymore. I know the frustration and thoughts of giving up trying but, if not the next one, maybe the one after that can ease your pain enough for you to focus on other things in your life like your beautiful artwork. Hang in there girl! We'll help you tie the knots in the rope you're holding onto.

@parus- I agree with you @parus. Seeing a lot of doctors who do nothing to encourage you or give you answers is very discouraging. If you are feeling worse than this sounds than it is! I'm so stumped as how to help you right now. With the leads still attached to your vagus nerve is there another kind of stimulation that is available?
