Not in the fact that I speak falsehoods on a daily basis, not that I lie to get out of shit, not in anyway that is mean or hurtful, well to others at least

Ooffff -- oh, honey, I feel you. I don't have the *exact* same set of pain issues (disc damage in cervical and lumbar spine, completely blown disc between L5/S1, unstable pelvis because of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which also makes the rest of the connective tissue in my body faulty -- I know that kwanboa mentioned that I use a wheelchair a lot, this is why), but I know enough about what you're dealing with to understand what it's like to live with daily pain, to have the framework that holds your body together be a source of misery, and to feel alone in your pain and pressured to "put on a good face" for fear of driving away people who ask "how are you?" and really want to hear "fine" as an answer.
*gentle hugs*
We don't know each other well, but I'm looking forward to meeting you -- and I'm not much for FB (I mostly just post links and periodically pop up to chat with friends who have dropped off LJ), but I'm on here pretty much all the time.
Let me know if there's anything I can do, including just listen, 'kay?
(I have another book recommendation, if you're up for it -- "How To Be Sick," by Toni Bernhard. It's geared toward chronic illness, but works just as well for chronic pain -- it has some good advice for what to do when the headweasels start chewing on your brain, and ways of coping with depression.)
Do you have access to healthcare? Is there any way that you can get your thyroid checked (that's one of the depression triggers for me, when I go hypo), and maybe talk to your doctor about meds, especially since there are some that help with both pain suppression and depression?
Not so much depressed or suffer from depression. I have had in the past bit ie last 12 months Ror die from cancer, Corey from a heart attack (my husband), Artemis die of old age she was 25 old for a cat, and my step mom die from cancer in June. That is not counting the 13 friends in the past year or so who have died. I've been grieving and know it's going to take a bit to get over it so that's all good.
No healthcare or money to afford. I eat well I eat healthy and I take care of myself.
The condition I have has a lot of the same symptoms of Fybromyalgia and is called syrinhydromyelia a tubal growth on my spine. Nothing I can do about it. I take over the counter meds, hot showers and just deal.
Hugs back. Looking forward to seeing you and getting to hang out.
