new here (anyone struggle with depression)

[Guest guest]

Hi, I am Jenni and I'm 39. I have degenerative disc disease with the start of

cervical dystonia.

I had surgery in Feb. to remove the c6 disc. They put a new one in

and fused it. I am still in so much pain. I have other disc that are breaking,

but not bad enough to remove. I keep getting my hopes up that it will end but

its not. Sometimes its worse because my neck muscles feel like charlie horses. I

am waiting to get approved to get botox injections in those muscles.

I have been struggling with depression because I get so overwhelmed.

I want to just give up so bad! But I know I can't because my kids need me.

Anyone else deal with depression?
