I have suffered form depression most of my life ( a I am a 58 year old female), but was not diagnosed until 1992. I also have OCD with major anxiety attacks. I take medications. 5 years ago came down with Shingles and now have PHN from them, which is permanent nerve damage, so life is pretty much miserable. I am mostly homebound because I cannot have clothing touch the affected part of my mid section and back. So I mostly stay in bed. I am married with a 25 year old son. They put up with me, but as most of you know, one cannot “snap out of it”. Some days it is just not worth it. Anyone out there that has chronic pain can understand how it is hard to cope with along with depression.
