I keep wondering if I will fall into the hole again, and it feels weird not to be, but once I accepted my situation (no matter how bad it was going to be) the fear left me.
RE fibro: it definitely helps to talk to people who are going through the same thing. It's does me good to have a good old whinge about the state of my bowels (or whatever) but also to see the humour in the situation. As far as I'm concerned humour is the
best medicine there is.
Thanks for sharing this Nora, wise words . In retrospect I think my depression had a lot to do with my hip operation, apparently it can strike you a week or two of afterwards, which is just what happened to me. This small fibre neuropathy started late June and I wasn't depressed before I went into hospital, take care Nora
