Hi Everyone, I have been a chronic back pain sufferer

for 25 years now and I’m only 43 years old and finding it difficult to keep going on with this suffering. My doctor and specialists are helping by putting me on Anti-Depressants, pain medications etc but I feel like giving up as I don’t have the energy anymore and the will to keep fighting for everyone else. I just want to not exist anymore and not feel the pain ever again. I am very unhappy and love my partner of 8 years, my family and friend who I know love and care and worry about me. People say live for yourself, the people who love you etc. Well they are the only reason I’m still here because when I think about ending my life I think about how it would effect those that I love and I feel I couldn’t do that to them. But there is another bigger part of me that is finding it harder and harder to not just end it all and that scares me. The doc’s and specialist can’t do anything more for me than help me manage the pain but I feel I have given up on myself and I don’t know how to find the will to live anymore. Can anyone help me, before its too late for me and the ones I love.

I feel a little wrong for posting this as I haven’t had ongoing pain like you. I can’t really feel your pain and I know you are in it. I’m sorry about this. Are you Catholic by chance? Or Baptist?

Read her story. I want to emphasis she believed in Jesus Christ and this is important. He had healed many and he has done it through others. I will pray to him for you. It may help if you do the same. I wouldn’t want to live if Jesus wasn’t in my life either so there I could sympathize with you. Believe and keep Faith.

You should see a chiropractor/bonesetter. I’m sure he can help you!

Thanks for your reply from both Calling All Angels and Zirbel. First to answer the question from the Angels that I am Church of England but I don’t go to church and not sure what I really believe. Second to Zirbel I have tried Chiropractors and they haven’t been able to help me. But thanks for your advise too.

My email is reaching out to help me Spiritually, mentally etc not to help try to fix my back as the specialist said all I can do is manage the pain. I would welcome people opinion on what they do to manage it or even if they have lessened there pain by some treatment or another.

Cheers
