Why Me?

Why Me?

Hi everyone,

I feel like my body is shutting down on me. I have had depression since the age of 13 years old. I also have ocd with intrusive thoughts, bpd, vitiligo, underactive thyroid, vitamin b12 deficiency, dyspraxia and suspected PMDD.

Just today I got results from neurology, X-ray and ultrasound. I now have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome in both my hands, pinched nerves in the “funny bones” in both my elbows and tendinitis in my left hand. Carpal tunnel will involve surgery. Tendinitis is a steroid needle which will be given into my forearm next Thursday.

I am currently getting back on hormone contraceptive pills and as such my mental health has been even worse. My urges to do things are through the roof. Terrible things.

I can’t take much more of this. Why me? What did I do to deserve having my body slowly shutting down on me while others are healthy and enjoying life. I am turning 32 in a couple of months. I should be working and enjoying life. Instead I’m useless, unable to function and contribute and am on the DSP.

Re: Why Me?

Hi @razza1987

I'm sorry that you are going through so many issues, constant pain must be exhausting to deal with. Have you considered applying for the NDIS, you may receive some funding to provide services to support you.

Please don't hesitate to seek supports if you need to and I am available to chat offline.

Please take care of yourself.
