I may be the only person to ever have my condition. I'm so fucking lucky.

Or you could try disease-specific groups where pain is a major factor of the disease? I'm sure that the dwellars here will let you spill as much as you want when you want here, too ...
I am depressed. But it is based on dealing with what is happening to me, being ill, having it be progressive and in chronic pain.
I just had some very bad news and my pain level/mobility issues are increasing at a level no one expected. My bones are breaking and the connective tissues are degenerating with a progression that neither my general/osteo and bone specialist has seen in anyone my age. They have no idea why I have almost no testosterone or why I am not symptomatic. Most of what is wrong with me just has to be "accepted"... advanced facets syndrome, very advanced osteo arthritis & tendinitis among other things that would bore you. Recently I had some heart problems related to taking some meds, we have no idea what will develop from that.... it just keeps going and going and going... I used to climb mountains, I was a cowboy, a bouncer... a professional actor... now I watch this room get older and other people play with my son because it hurts to move.
It's just a sea of pain, my ribs are hurting so much breathing hurts.... I don't want to go on right now.
Edit- I do go to a psychologist and my GP and I talk, they don't put me on anti-depressants, just a mild anti-anxiety. They say it is normal to feel the way I do about this and say it is more anxiety and trauma from what I live with every day.
