I Need Help
Anxiety Support / by SouthernSiren
Last post
 January 5th
...See more I am so lost in life right now. I had to quit my job due to an injury, I have so many health problems. I feel like a huge failure in life and like I'm a burden. I cry all the time. My anxiety and depression are out of control. My brother in law has moved in with my husband and me and they do nothing. I am so stressed and I don't know what to do.

I Feel Broken
Women's Issues / by SouthernSiren

...See more I have been struggling with chronic pain for years, since I was 17. The last 3 years have been the worst of it though. There have been times I was literally stuck in bed for two weeks. Now I feel like my pain has me questioning everything about my life. I feel helpless and hopeless. My depression and anxiety have become unbearable. I feel guilty. I want a family, but I'm not able to carry children, and with my pain I don't feel like being a foster parent or adopting is a realistic option. I mean, how can I take care of a child when I can't care for myself? I'm just lost in life right now.

Feeling Hopeless
Journals & Diaries / by SouthernSiren

...See more My mental and physical health has really taken a nose dive recently. The last few years I have had chronic pain, and I've recently found out it's caused by a birth defect. Basically I have an extra vertebrae in my spine and it fused to my hip bone. The pain is making it almost impossible to do my job, (I'm a massage therapist) it's just to physical for me now. But I feel like I don't know how to do anything else. I feel limited by my health issues and lack of education and I don't know what to do. I am supposed to have a MRI and I'll be going to the pain clinic eventually for injections, I just hope I can get better quality of life back.
