Sorry to hear you are in so much pain--I can relate. 15 years ago I had a very full life--got my PhD, travelled the world, knew what I wanted to do and felt like I was helping others. That changed and I am no longer young, very overweight, tired, unemployed, on disability, and alone. Life is NOT fair. I've been told to not concentrate on my past since I can not change it but to focus on the now--this is so difficult to do to stay in this moment. My mind is constantly thinking why did this happen, what caused it--I guess I need to focus on how can I change what I am now to make myself feel better. Succeeding in that is difficult and I'm in a battle everyday to not focus on my past regrets but to focus on the now.

I wish you the best. You are not alone.

and now, my hair is turning grey, i look terrible, i can't even keep a job i'm really good at. everything i built over the last decade is gone. i lost everything i had.
