depressed

Hi! So, I posted in the newly diagnosed section but this seems to be the place to introduce ones-self, so here I go! I was just diagnosed on monday but have had a lifetime of pain in my 28 short years. I feel like a 90 year old inside and out. I was bullied all through school and never had...

I am a oncologist from Sudan. I suffer from pain and stiffness since 2011 but diagnosed in 2013. I feel so depressed that I am no longer the same person I used to be. I am writing now while lying on bed in severe pain from the disease and from being off work due to it.

Hi everyone:) I was just diagnosed today with Fibro. The main problem I have is the most extreme fatigue you can imagine, no matter how much sleep or rest I get. I find myself becoming so depressed because I can't function normally" that I just don't care about anything that used to matter to...

Some patients when diagnosed with fibromyalgia go into panic mode and become depressed. This stress is one of the dynamics that accelerates FM. Doctors should give pretest counselling especially to teenage patients who look at it like a death sentence. Post test counselling is also required. The...
