Lost girl

Hello,

I wish I could start with my name but I don't trust people anymore... so you can just call me Blue for now, like in those spy movies, in which people have code names. Code name: blue. Code name: red. I'm 25 years old and I grew up in the USA. It hasn't been an easy journey: not that I wanted one... Yet maybe just a little bit easier than it is right now.

Recently, I've suffered some injustice but I'm not ready to talk about that. However, it's why I'm here and not somewhere else. Well, there are a lot of reasons. I'm chronically depressed due to a chronic physical illness that keeps me in pain 24/7. I've seen doctors (and am seeing) but it remains for the most part un-diagnosed.

Last year I admitted I need help and coming to online forums and looking for support has been one of my first steps. So voila, here I am. I hope I can contribute something and if not that I can learn from others.

Blue out.

Welcome madirony, or blue

The very most of us at PF have some history of unfortunate events that led us here, and in great variety. Whatever the mentioned injustice is, you aren't alone among us. And the doctors, well... surely they'll figure it out eventually I can't say I've had precisely the same experience, but I've been juggled around with psychologists and psychiatrists before. It's tiresome.

Who doesn't need help?

Therapy is typically a safe space, have you tried it?

Eventually feels like an eternity when you are in chronic pain and when it's been years. I would call it a little more than tiresome. I haven't dealt with psychologists or psychiatrists because the underlying cause of my mental illness is physical.

The ideal version of me doesn't need help. But she doesn't exist.. so I suppose you're right.

Thanks for welcoming me to the site.

No. I haven't felt the need.
