@parus Just come to the table, you don't need to bring anything but yourself. We accept you no matter how poorly you met be feeling that day or the hour. Depression and pain certainly do go hand-in-hand. And it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel as being daylight and not an oncoming train. Perhaps if you try doing something that has brought you pleasure in the past, baking for your neighbors or drawing or writing or having your grandson over for a day. It sounds like his giggles & smiles have always been a positive balm for you. Don't let these so-called professionals get you down! You're so much stronger than that!

@gingerw Thanks. The pain has me discouraged thus the depression is worse. Makes sense to me that they go hand in hand. Raises my ire when the doctors think talking to a therapist will make the pain magically disappear. Even the therapist finds it irritating that doctors do thus. There are times it is all I can do to keep my tongue like a letter opener from slicing-I would just be fired for hostile behavior. Being diplomatic gains me nothing either. All I know is the pain is much worse and the CT clearly shows I am not lying.
Thanks for caring and the encouragement.
