Gooftwo.......your post made me very sad I am sorry your pain is so bad.) I see you've shared that in an earlier post and I hope somone will have a helpful suggestion.
I am almost two years out and I promise you at some point it will get easier Your mind and spirit will adapt and you will find ways to do many things that you thought were impossible. Just don't give up.
And please, please, please, if you (or anyone for that matter) are considering that "alternative" share with someone here first. Anyone here would be glad to listen and just knowing that people are there who understand your pain helps to lessen it Also, you are owe it to yourself and your family (they suffer when you suffer, trust me, I know)..........you are worth more than that.

Depression is often a common Secondary Injury/Life-time Medical Issue for individuals ( I am one) with OBPI'S also. There is a "lively" decussion on this Topic in the "Adults& Teens With OBPI Forum message boards. Go there and type "depression" in the Search Forum Box & the posts should come up for you.

This UBPN Network, Counselling and Meds together saved my life. I could not do it alone or just one of these three stratedgies. Please consider getting help and keep venting here. And also please keep us updated...WE CARE.
