About Me: I am currently unemployed due to mental health issues and my boyfriend of 7 years left me after both of my parents died w/in 2 months of each other. I live alone w/5 cats and 1 dog. I used to teach Psychology at the community college level and loved it! I long to enjoy lots of things but currently I'm not able to accomplish much. I have no support system at this time and I am feeling overwhemed by life in general. I live in a very isolated part of rural VA.

I've had fibro since the age of 26 and I'm now 52 and live with constant pain that most doc's believe and see me as drug seeking and insurance doesn't pay for massage and acupuncture. I also have chronic fatique but once again the doc's don't accept the diagnosis
Treatments
Cymbalta (Working / Worked) on it but not yet at therauptic level
Effexor (Working / Worked) didn't help the pain and quite working for the depression

Psychotherapy (Working / Worked) back in therapy but I'm not holding my breath since I have personality disorders which don't really respond to treatment.....I wish I could die
