I just wanted to say hello and goodbye. It has been awhile since I have been to the boards. And now I remember why, they are so depressing! My injury is very bad, fully avulsed c45678t1 well maybe not c45 but anyway. The pain is unbearable, I have no hope for recovery, i suffered a very long depression, but I got over it, and i have somehow begun to learn to live with my injury. So much so that if I'm not in pain I don't really notice it. But then I logged on to the website and started reading the posts, and all the sudden I felt like I did when I was first injured. All the anxiety, fear depression, hurt, anger, frustration, and hopelessness came rushing back. So hello and goodbye for awhile

Re: Depression-and hello
yes the curtain of the temple was torn from top to bottom when Jesus died. (from the most technical wisdom etc to the least...from the most high to the most low where Jesus came down) Mankind in many ways is very powerless over manhy things. I vowed to follow Jesus 17 years ago and I failed and made a big mistake.

I completely agree with you. I got hurt 20 years ago and sometimes it consumes my life. I feel I need a break away, too. I have done the whole Mayo thing and I am ready to hang up my "I feel sorry for myself" hat. No doubt this sight is a God sent for everyone with our injury but I feel enough is enough at this point of my life. There is so much more of me than my arm. And to honest no one can tell there is something wrong with my arm. The more I talk about it the more it hurts. The more I talk about it the more I feel my life isn't fair. I the more I talk about it the more down I get. I have 4 beautiful children, a wonderful husband, a wonder family and great friends. If anything I feel pretty blessed.
