suicidal w/o depression |
Is it possible to have this combination? I have had severe chronic
pain for 7 years and have consider ending it for 6 years. It is
getting worse and life becomes even more not worth it.
I cannot get access to psychotherapy because all they do is say that I
have somataform disorder or OCD, or manic depression, or social
anxiety, etc......... I have been on antidepressants for 3 years and
it has had no impact on being suicidal because it doesn't effect the
pain. I fear that the time has come..
I was wondering if anyone had any feedback on why not to do this? When
I make this decision I will inform my family before so they don't have
to be tramautized. I have been telling them that I feel this way for a
while. I am only 22 which makes it sad for others, however, it
justifies it for me because the pain is only going to get worse, and it
is already unbearable. P.S. I have tried every treatment I can get
access to. Given my age, I doubt they would be willing to install a
pain pump, which is about the only thing I haven't tried. I know why I
am getting pain, a rare disorder called Chiari malformation, however,
they will not do surgery because I have a rare type called Type 0 which
doctors constantly are arguing over how to treat at the expense of all
the patients who have it.
I have never been able to date, work, and have had reduced school
schedule. I have never had any relationships with girls and will never
be able to have a family or have sex. I have lost all my friends and
my family despises spending time with me.
Please be openminded and try to imagine what it is like to have
constant severe pain. Thanks.

Of course chronic pain can make you depressed and/or feel suicidal.
I cannot get access to psychotherapy because all they do is say that
I
have somataform disorder or OCD, or manic depression, or social
anxiety, etc......... I have been on antidepressants for 3 years

It wouldn't.
I know why I
am getting pain, a rare disorder called Chiari malformation,
however,
they will not do surgery because I have a rare type called Type 0
which
doctors constantly are arguing over how to treat at the expense of
all
the patients who have it.
I just Googled briefly about this disorder. It seems to me that you do
require surgery. My suggestion would be to find a different doctor,
who is willing to consider a surgical option. When your back is up
against the wall, higher risk is justified.

maybe you should talk to your pain specialist about the pump.
explain that the pain will soon cause your death, and they
might be willing to try it, regardless of your age. i've dealt
with bad chronic pain, though i doubt it was as severe as
yours, and know how wearing it can be. i wish you luck.

I am sorry to hear your dreadful circumstances. A car accident left me
with severe and chronic back pain that I have been living with for
close to 15 years. Pain management is such a tricky area. I became
addicted to my pain medication and ended up with a collapsed lung and
liver damage from the medication.
I came very close to death and had to make a decision to either get off
the drugs and live in pain or die.
I chose to live with pain.
I know my pain probably doesn't come near comparison to yours but I
urge you to demand excellence from your doctors and seek out every
possible treatment before you do something as final as ending your
life.
Praying for you
Rayne
