Help Has anyone whose life has been ruined by chronic pain here managed to reinvent themselves?

[silasthesad]

My main reason for wanting to CTB is chronic pain and brain fog due to a chronic illness. I prized myself on my intellect my entire life, and my ability to think has just been taken away from me. I got into my dream university but my illness (and discriminatory practices on their behalf) has almost certainly ruined that for me. I don't want to do anything else. I don't want to live like this either, but maybe I could tolerate it if I had things I enjoyed.

Has anyone in a similar situation (maybe also young) figured out how to reinvent themselves?

I live with chronic pain due to a rare disease so I feel you. But I have other issues that make me feel suicidal. It' so unfair but we are sadly millions in this case.
I wish you peace

We really are millions! I think maybe in some sense we're lucky to be human and have choice. There must be trillions of animals who live in similar pain without any idea of why they suffer or how to make it stop.
