Hello usered and welcome to pc. Wow, you have been thru a terrible time. I think you are holding up well considering everything you have been thru. Kidney stones hurt worse than having a baby is what I have been told. They say the pain is excruciating. Some people can have the shock wave surgery to get rid of them but it sounds like you had to have something more extensive. Stents are painful too. Your experience sounds a little like mine in that my depression started up after a major complicated gallbladder surgery summer 2013. People at work can be downright mean and unsupportive. Are you still getting unemployment? I hope so. It also sounds like you need to get a different therapist. Best of wishes for you. I wish I knew something good to tell you, but I will tell you that I care and I hope things work out better for you. Message me any time you like. You will find that people on this forum are very caring and helpful.
