Living with Chronic Pain: A Struggle for Hope

I have been so angry, frustrated, and overwhelmed. I have chronic pain and it is so difficult to enjoy life, my mind is in my pain. Everytime something good happens and I'm hopeful, something happens to change things. I just want things to go right, and I don't want to be in pain all the time. I get so angry at everything because I'm so fed up. I try to have faith and hope and everyday is getting harder and harder to just live. I'm so tired of my life. I don't feel like I'm living, the pain controls everything, and I hate it. I'm just in a bad place, trying to find the light in this dark tunnel. I'm tired and wanting to just give up.

      Okay so, would you like advice, feedback, or did you just want to vent about it?

        @milked_rice I don't mind advice or feedback. I was venting also, I'm just kind of at the end of my rope. But I am open to advice and feedback yes, it is much appreciated.

      So earlier today, I was having a really hard time. I felt like my problems were enormous and it took up my whole headspace. My professor reminded me to take a step back and look objectively at nice little things, like the weather and writing my letters. It helped ground me and feel like things weren't so bad. Maybe something like this could help you? You don't have to have strong faith or an earth shattering revelation about your purpose in life, most of the time what fuels people is little victories, like getting a load of laundry done or even getting out of bed in the morning. It's okay to rely on the little things and take life one step at a time :).

        @milked_rice thank you. I am trying to focus on small victories. I am blessed, and definitely have them. I'm working on not getting easily frustrated. Sometimes I allow my problems to consume me, and I have a tendency to make my problems bigger than what they are. I'm working on it. Thank you for your advice, I appreciate it.
