So this is my first post here.

I've come across this site quite a bit over the past 2 years.

I had an injury 3 years ago. Surgery 1.5 years ago and I've been on pain meds for about 18 months. Therein is my issue.

Alot of dramas have arisen over the past 18 months and I'm over everything and want my life back, but no motivation to claim it back and stick to whatever plans I make/have made.

Hopefully reading other peoples stories and chatting with some of you will give me some tips and support in a way I haven't yet experienced.

I'm unsure what can and can't be said in a place like this. I'd like to be able to be brutally honest (about myself) but unsure if anything gets back etc. Can anyone fill me in?

Have you spoken with the prescribing doctor about this? It might be in your best interest to start with the doctor.

When you say you're over everything, does that include the pain meds?

Regardless, best of luck getting your life back on track. Physical pain can really throw you for a loop.

Hi, I'm a new user as well and your story grabbed my attention. You know you shouldn't be too hard on yourself, maybe your body is telling you that you're just not ready to do the whole thing just yet. But, you've made a start by putting your thoughts on here. It's taken 2 years but you've done it now so take one day at a time and see what happens.

I'll bet you'll find loads of advice and maybe similar situations on here that can help you not feel alone in your fight to get back your life again.

Good luck and keep talking.

The lack of appetite is what's kicking me in the gonads, relentlessly.
