I’m so sad. I’ve continued to work since my CRPS diagnosis. It has been really tough at times. I’ve been in pain, sometimes suicidal, but just kept going at work pretending everything is ok. I’ve had an exit plan for the last few months, where I could stop work for some months and then rethink. That’s fallen through and now I just have to keep going. And I’m just exhausted and not sure how much longer I can cope. I feel like the work exit plan was keeping me going and now that it’s no longer there, I just want to give up.
