Ill again. So depressed. How to cope?

After being ill most of last year (gynae, pain, then severe disabling anxiety resulting in mr having 5 months off work) i managed to battle through it all. Back to work doing well, started an expensive course for a career change, got back onto my hobby
( which takes a lot of time energy and financial commitment) .
then a month ago out of no where i injured myself- mot sure how exactly and the injury took a few weeks to fully emerge.
in pain 24/7, on three lots of painkillers feeling like shit. Still just about working but unable to do my hobby which is essential for my mental health. Can’t do the required stuff for my qualification.
Seeing specialist privately next week but its possible i may need surgery ( risky and not always successful).
im not coping with the pain or loss of control at all. What the hell do i do.

I'm so sorry you are in such pain with the injury. No advice, but much sympathy. I broke my right shoulder 2 years ago (I'm right-handed), & get what you mean about lack of control. I couldn't shower without help for some time & absolutely hated that feeling of no control over my body.
I hope the private specialist has some positive help for you.
