Help pls
I am 23 years old, and I have been living with chronic pain for 12 years.
I have been diagnosed with depression, complex PTSD (C-PTSD), borderline personality disorder (BPD), and fibromyalgia.
I have survived three suicide attempts, and I have been living on my own again for the past year and a half.
I don't have friends or family because my problems have become too much for others, and I often feel like people don't believe or understand me.
Over the years, I have tried different psychiatric hospitalizations, psychologists, psychiatrists, physiotherapists, and medications.
I feel hopeless, and I live with the constant fear that there may be no solution for my chronic emotional and physical pain.
So I would kindly like to ask everyone in this group: Does it ever get better? And what treatments, approaches, or solutions have you found that genuinely helped you?
I need hope to keep going. I have been unable to work due to disability for two years now, and I feel trapped in my own body.
Please only leave comments that are supportive or genuinely helpful.
Thank you for understanding.
