I recognize people have alot worse medical issues in life chronic pain and disease, and this is a symptom of a cause, unknown to me as of yet and I have had this manageable for 8 years until now. Even if I did, its unlikely it can be reversed. I understand there is no cure. I accept I have it, no choice. Having a hard time managing, crying at the drop of a hat, grieving I guess, natural with depression. I see myself as a burden on my family as my wife has to do more, and I want to help, but she is supportive. My kids want to do things, now that I am on short term disability from work and more available, but active things I would like to do with them I fear would make it worse. I can't even mow my lawn with ear protection because it gets worse when I remove them. I hoped to retire in a couple of years and be more available to them and enjoy the life I have left, to get off the hamster wheel of life and not work myself into an early grave. I wanted to serve in my church as I would have time to do things for people that would perhaps make a difference for them. I know my plans are not His plans, it seems quite obvious at this point. I am not angry or in denial, but I thought I thought I knew my purpose in life, and though I have made mistakes along the way, believe I have been forgiven. He wants us to live life abundantly, but I can't make sense of this, my purpose is this for the rest of my life? Lots of tears.

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Blair, have you ever been tested for vitamin D deficiency? If no, please do so as soon as possible. Why? Because how we feel is controlled by hormones, hormones are determined by diet, and the most basic building block of every hormone is vitamin D. Finally, because there are not many good dietary sources for D anymore because of the way our food is produced and processed.
