It’s in moments like these when my pain flares are so uncontrollable and renders me absolutely helpless that I feel myself spiralling down a large big black hole.
I cry inwardly , no one sees , no one hears the pain. I ‘m not cut, their are no bruises , it’s so hard to explain to others .I ‘m a dry ,I’m sad , I feel isolated, I feel alone.
I lay in my bed , the covers hold no comfort as they seem to burn my skin.My feet are tingly and blue . 4-5 days of sheer hell , sleepless nights and I am weary and tired again.. There is no relief in sight and this silent monster is off the lead again but I have no energy to catch it and put it back on the lead.

Indeed it can. Depression is a common occurrence. Dealing with constant pain, and being acutely sleep deprived, takes it's toll. I lost my job because of this. Feeling like a burden to my family and friends fills me with shame. It is a constant struggle to find purpose and value. Seeking help for this portion is as vital as all other aspects of this disease!!!!

Yes CRPS can contribute to depression. Many end up with depression due to the pain and not being able to do what they use to. We often lose friends and family members due to the CRPS which will also lead to depression. The pain will eventually make you want to not go out any more if you let it. You become lonely and sad because of what you have lost and then certain pain medications will add to those feelings. It is a terrible circle that just gets darker and darker and hurts even more! It is very hard to pull yourself out of that Dark hole without help with talking to someone and antidepressants to help. But many have done it so yes it can be done. I am one of them.

Sounds lights people all can get on ones nerves more easily.
All your pain is on high alert and dealing with wanting to be alone and with others is a hard balance.

The area of the brain that sends pain signals is extremely close to the lumber system. This is the system responsible for depression.

Roughly 16% of patients with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome also had a diagnoses of depression. The hardest thing to deal with is managing the pain and finding the strength to do simple tasks and work.

Chronic pain often leads to depression and stress increases pain. Definitely true.
