i am in pain everyday. i am housebound. only with the help of my mother i can get out. it gets extremely lonely. i get very depressed. my pain gets so bad at points i do want to scream. needless to say i don't. i am new here. i want to meet others who have similar siuations. talk to other people and get some advice, and maybe some support. there are days when i can not do anything, even though i want to. i am very lonely.

I understand and yes there are many many times I want to scream. I was too young when I got injured to be in the shape I am in now.

Oh TRUST me--I want to scream from pain, from sadness, from emotional pain. I ABSOLUTELY understand about the desire to scream!

I understand. I, too, am in pain constantly and am pretty much housebound. Its hard to do anything inside the house, too. I can't shower myself, brush my hair, put a shirt or coat on. Some days I find it hard to stand or sit by myself--problematic when you have to use the bathroom. I get frustrated often, and pain adds to my already present depression. I was never a screamer, but I would LOVE to be able to get up and run or punch something.

What is the dx that is causing all your pain? Mine is rheumatoid arthritis.
