Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Posted September 19, 2006 Sheree, My ailments are different than yours, but my sentiments are similar. I urge you to ask your pain doctor if he can either give you an antidepressant or refer you to a psychiatrist or psychologist who can work with you on your depression. I've been in therapy for a while now, but as my pain worsened, my outlook on life deteriorated as well. My pain doc added in zoloft just last week. (I'd taken it before with good results.) I'm certainly not depression-free now, but that heavy, dark cloud has lifted just a tad. I'm not alone--I'm blessed with a husband who makes his own work schedule and so can drive me to doc appointments and take care of me when I can't take care of myself. But I just feel so guilty--and I hate being so dependent upon him. So it seems like there's no easy answer for both of us. I just hope that you, like I, can take solace in knowing that you can post to this group and know that there are other people out there who understand what you're going through. Hang in there.
