> Antrock, I am so sorry to hear how much you are suffering. What kinds of support do you have?
Thank you Noa. I am living with my parents, who are trying their best to help me, but they are suffering due to my pain, which kind of makes me feel guilty, but they have been great.
I really screwed up by leaving our house, I certainly shoudln't be the one starting over, but I never even conceived the thought that my wife would serve me papers. Guess I'm real naive about how cruel people can be.
I've been seeing a cognitive be-therapist once a week, and he has me reading a book "Mind Over Mood", which sounds like a lame "think positive" cliche, but in fact makes a lot of sense and I would highly reccomend it. The problem is, I'm so messed-up, and still in so much pain that it may be too soon for me to benefit from it.
Another problem is that all my friends are married, so I really have no one to go out and hang with to get my mind off things when I am feeling up to it. Weekends are by far the worst time for me. The pain can be so intense it's scary. I take adderal almost every day, and it not only gives me relief from my fatigue, but actually helps with the depression. Anyway, thank you so much Noa for your concern, every little bit helps these days.
I hope things are well with you, you have helped many on these boards and you should be proud.
Sincerely,
Anthony
