Subject: Had enough and depressed

Hi all,
I'm new to the boards.
I have had ra for 40 years, and am soooooo bloooody tired. Never ever have any energy, can't work, use an electric chair and simply feel so depressed and awful. Just someone to chat to would be a help.

Hi Lesley, welcome to the forum - well you can chat away, we're all here :) sorry to hear you feel so peeved off just now. I've only recently been diagnosed (18mths)with RA so came on here looking for help to try to get my head round it all. medication may have changed over the years but doesn't always help mentally does it when it's a constant uphill fight
come on here and rant and rave and let off steam all / any time, lots of lovely people on here have helped me so much and they will always be there for you
xx

hi lesley , welcome to the forum

thinking omg you had RA for 40 years , you need medal putting up with it that long , thinking I had this long enough lol

some mild depression seems to go with it , National Rheumatiod Arthritis Society mentioned Cognitive behavioural therapy & some on here says try mindfulness which is similar

hope you feel better soon
