Its been a long road

Hi everyone. Up until around 2001, I was a healthy, energetic,always on the go, happy person with tons of friends. Now, I am in severe pain most of the time, have no energy at all, very unhappy, friends and going places just take too much energy. In 2001, I was in a head-on collision. Thank God, my injuries were not life threatening. Since then, I have lived with pain. I was already depressed before that, but pretty kept that under control with medication. Most of my pain was in my back, neck and hips. I went to all kinds of Drs. and had all kinds of things injected into my back. None of it helped. Then after awhile, I realized I hurt everywhere and was eventually diagnosed with Fibro. I am now taking 60 mgs. of Morphine and 400 Mgs. of Ultram and 300 mgs.Wellbutrin a day in order to be able to work. Even with that, I have had to cut back to 4 days a week, so my financial situation is Bad. I hear mostly about anxiety on here, but that is not one of the problems I have. I guess I don't really have a question, just wonder what you do when you can no longer work (and I'm getting there) and have no one to take care of you. I can't file for disability because I still work. I can't stop working because I will be homeless.

Any idea of what transpired to drain the motivation you had?

Hopefully your feeling better.
