Everyone has excellent ideas, the right meds, the right therapist. But if you feel desperate get to the emergency room and don't hesitate or be embarrassed.

I am currently reading the book You Are Not Your Pain by Vidyamala Burch. It's good and it has a CD with it.

I have always been a positive person but when I got Fibro I started to feel depression and anxiety. It is so out of character for me. It has gotten so bad this last year I have started therapy. I realize that being in pain every day, and loss of who I once was, and all I used to do is reason for depression, but I've noticed that on my flare days, whenever I feel a wave of pain or fatigue come over me, I start crying instantly. I've monitored this reaction for months and am now convinced that the mental/emotional feelings are controlled by the Fibro. My first therapist told me last November that she doesn't know how to help me. This hurt me at first but then I realized that she doesn't know anything about Fibro or coping with chronic pain and that I needed to see a therapist that does. I have an appointment with a new therapist next week. It helps to talk to a professional.

Have you been feeling better?

Really great suggestions here. Sometimes too much advise is not helpful, so feel free to ignore this.

If you’ve seen a therapist or doctor and have someone helping you but are also just looking for some supplemental reading to encourage you through it, I just wrote a book about that. It’s called “Keeper or Your Life: Actively Trusting Jesus Through chrinic Pain.” By Kelly J Aalseth. I would be curious your thoughts and what is helpful.
