Depression sucks.

And there's not a lot more than that to say.

My parents know a psychologist who does disability evaluations in Spokane, Washington.  When the subject of my foot trouble and the continuous pain came up in connection with applying for disability, he said, "Of course he's depressed.  Everyone who's in constant pain is depressed."

I hate that it's so hard to find joy in anything any more, or find sufficient motivation to do things.

I don't know if it's offered in your area, but there are programs in pain management that offer biofeedback training. I know a couple people who have had pretty good luck with them in dealing with fibromylagia and serious back pain (the serious degenerated disk variety).

Yeah, my mom did a pain management program and it helped her quite a bit. Biofeedback was one of the elements of the program.
