hello. I have been dealing with worsening depression after my car accident. How am I supposed to feel better when even pain meds don't help? I am open to trying out other things for depression and pain.

Hey π I am sorry you are facing this. I can't tell you how deeply I relate. I had a four wheeler wreck almost 10 years ago and hurt my back and it's only gotten worse from there. I highly suggest exercise. I know, how in the world can I exercise while in so much pain? But strengthening the muscles near your injury will do wonders. And stretching. It also releases endorphins that helps with depression π Start slowly. Just go for a walk. Find something light weight in your house that you can lift like dumbbells. Look up YouTube videos and you'll find something that works for you π This has gotten me off of prescription pain pills as well as helped to relieve alot of pain. I have nerve damage too so I am limited. I have to limit my activities each day as to not overdo myself.

Hi honey, I'm so sorry that you have to go through that. I would suggest trying CBD gummies if you can get your hands on them legally. It should help with pain and your mood!
@orangeblossom i live in a state that is pretty restricted but I'll see if anything is available in my area
@Amarantha wishing you all the luck!
