I used to feel very much as you, Theland - 40 years ago! Unfortunately there wasn't the treatment or recognition available that there is now. Please believe me - you WILL get better. The doctor told me to 'be gentle with yourself', and that did help. You aren't on your own, but if you can go back to the doctor and discuss it with him/her, I'm sure it will help. Some doctors aren't as sympathetic as others, so if the first one you see isn't helpful, try another (If you can). I sat once and wrote an exercise book full about how I felt, and that helped too. I threw it away afterwards as i didn't want anyone else to see it. Big hug xxx
