Anyone doing this for health reasons or chronic pain?

Can't go into specifics, otherwise I'll be leaving a trail, but I have a condition that only permits me going out for several hours - forget spontaneity. Staying out too long means the condition shows itself leading to passersby asking if I'm alright.

I have mental health problems. A lot of mental illness. It is my physical health though that really drives my thoughts about suicide. I had surgery for rectal prolapse recently and have endometriosis. I have what seems like neuropathy in my feet and I suspect an undiagnosed issue. I feel like I will never get help from doctors. they see me as an uneducated fat house wife with mental illness and so that is what they diagnose me as in their mind.

it makes me feel so hopeless. the pain and fatigue make me a burden on my family especially my spouse and i am too diabled to move away so yeah. I am tired of making everyone else's life worse.

i don't want my kids to blame themselves though so I am so far not acting on it. I have everything I need now though.

Mental health is a huge thing with me, plus life experiences- don't get me started on the shit that's happened... but currently with covid getting me in a low mood too my chronic pain is a big part of things.

I'm writing this from my bed where i'm lying in pain- my damned back and fibro today- but what will it be later on or tomorrow, i have a combination of physical diagnoses.

Throw everything together in a melting pot and i'm so done. The drs refuse to prescribe adequate pain meds so here i am wishing for death at 6:23 pm but i have to get up and make dinner. Wtaf. Smh i don't think i can hang on until the end of my dog's lifespan but i'm trying. :(

((((big hugs)))) to everyone who is suffering. I hear everyone on this thread- your pain is seen. I know it doesn't fix things- but you've been heard...

physical stuff is about half my reason. i have bad asthma, acid reflux, sore back, kidney disease, anemia caused by kidney disease... but mainly i have a mental disorder that prevents me from functioning in society and nothing can fix that

A year ago I was at the peak of my life, going to the gym, became fairly muscular, had a gf and a job, and over the course of the summer I began having digestive issues, lost my job and my gf. Lost 50lbs before I was diagnosed with celiac and crohns and i'm chronically in pain. I can't do anything about it and my quality of life is so low. Anyone else doing it for health reasons/chronic pain?

I'm also in this boat, had a botched surgery and now unfixable nerve damage.

About the things you lost. If such a chaotic event made them disappear, were they ever of any value or substance? I don't think so and I think it's the same with life.
