First I wanted to say so sorry to hear you are in so much pain. Mine has only been going on four years but it has made me give up most things in my life also. The only thing I can say is if binging on scifi shows makes you feel better then do it. I also understand the strain it puts on relationships. As it has with my family (wife and son). The only thing I can say is maybe ask a friend to come over and watch with you. Tell them up front how awful the pain is and how it gives you a severely short fuse. And that you are sorry up front in case you blow up a little. And that you don't mean it. If they are truly your friends and care about you, they will try to support you. I've found a couple. It does help. It also helps to get it out a bit too. I also see a therapist weekly. Between that and doctors i have like 7-8 appts a week. Very tired of seeing doctors. But recently I decided that I can no longer sit idly by as my life goes on without me. I've been to so many doctors, therapists, shrinks etc. been through massive depression, suicide, anxiety/panic attacks and major pain. And if it ever gets better I need to have a life to come back to. So I've been working and trying a throng to get better no matter how ridiculous it sounds. And repairing the relationships I've damaged over the last few years. I don't know if any of that helps but I joined here last night and am at least taking a little comfort in me not being the only person in my situation. And now have people I can try to relate with.
