@parus Pull your self up to our cyber table. We will be happy to offer you a cup of tea and a shoulder to lean on. Some days are just so rough, aren't they? I am reminded of the saying that there is no strong sunlight without dark shadows. Not sure the exact quote or where it came from. Keep plodding along and keep your focus on the future. Getting through each day can be a struggle I know. Been there recently myself. Gentle hugs.

@gingerw- Good morning Ginger. What a beautiful response to @parus. It seems very timely that I came across a couple of articles about the connection between pain and depression. Although things aren't settled yet about the true connection and implications just knowing that there is a physical connection soothes my mind a lot. I say this because it's no longer just "in my head".
That being said there still needs to be much more research for a final ideal solution of non-addictive pain control.
I will look more closely at my patterns and look to see if there really is anything that I can do, myself, to offset these two enemies. Do any of you see any of these patterns?
@karen00, @pearlbaby7 please join in on this too.
