My third surgery is coming up, and I'm trying to stay positive about life and the moment. Although, I am usually in pain and not able to move very much. Throw in the mental issues, and it can really be a drag. I feel useless, and I mourn the energetic and able bodied person I used to be. Oh well, I think at times I expect way too much from life. lol.

Aw man, that sounds really awful! It is hard enough to have mental stuff going on, and then add physical difficulties on top of that. I hope your surgery goes well and that it improves life for you. That is a lot to deal with.

Sorry, I feel you my backs really bad and im limited to what i can do. And when i do do anything it takes more energy from the pain and absolutly drains me. I havent had surgery yet. Last dr i seen said thats my only option now and im just not ready for it.Hope your surgery goes well and eases your pain.Pain and to much limitation is just unbearable sometimes very depressing.Hope you wellness !

Lost everything , job , self esteem , and my whole family abandoned me. No one understood what I was going through. And then the depression. Feeling worthless and useless. And yes there's not a day that goes by where I miss the things that I used to do. So the only possible way I can move forward is to realize that the life I have now is the life I now have. I battle to stay alive. I try just to be grateful for the days that I could do the things I can't do now. At least I did have some good times. But now I realize that life goes on. And who knows what tomorrow may bring. Acceptance is another thing. I have to accept the way I am now. Believe me , I empathize with you. Try and do anything possible , no matter how small it may be , to try and break the vicious cycle your now in.  .
