My Life With Chronic Illness

I don't know what to do anymore

Hey everyone! Happy Sunday and welcome back! Here is an update on me:

Mentally:

I have honestly been up and down. Since I know that my nerve block medicine makes me feel depressed and suicidal, I have been feeling depressed and suicidal. I have been having crazy mood swings. It's hasn't been great. But I know that it's just due to the steroid medicine in the nerve block because people with bipolar (like me) can't take steroids because it makes them depressed or manic. Steroids make me depressed and suicidal so honestly it's been horrible. I know that this will pass once the medicine is out of my system but it's been really rough. So yeah.

Physically:

Horrible. Just horrible. I have honestly been in so much pain it's unbearable. The nerve blocks didn't help so honestly I don't know what to do anymore. I see my pain doctor in a few weeks and I don't know where to go from here. My pain just keeps getting worse and worse. Nothing is working or helping. I have been seeing a chiropractor for two months and that has not helped. I am going to start doing massages to see if that will help. Honestly I don't know what to do anymore. I thought the nerve blocks would work but they didn't. I am running out of ideas. I am scared I am always going to be in pain. My fear is becoming my reality.

I am sorry if this post is really depressing and sad. I feel really depressed and sad and this is just my thoughts.

The good thing is I LOVE going to school of ministry! So that makes me happy! :)

Thank you so much for reading! I love you all! :)
