Definitely get checked out to make sure it's not medical. You have been through a lot and dealing with chronic pain takes a toll on a person's mental health. Be kind to you and do what you can.
Are you in a position to have someone come in a do some housework to take a little off your plate? I don't know about you but the more things pile up the harder it is for me to get motivated to take care of them...it just seems so daunting.
Have you ever tried CBD or (I don't know if it's available in your state) medical marijuana? I know it is not for everyone but I know many people that have gotten relief through either or both of those. My hubby is one of them. He was on massive amounts of pain killers because of degenerative disc disease and several other conditions. When they had that overhaul a few years ago they cut his pain meds by 80% and basically said deal with it. He was also told and I quote "You are on disability, why do you need quality of life when you don't do anything? Just sleep all the time." He has gotten the same if not more pain relief from the weed than he did from the pills.
I wish I had some other ideas for you but my brain is a bit muzzy right now.  I hope you have an upswing soon.
