Hate my life, medical issues. I'm not right

For 12 long years I've been riddled with medical problems.
It started with undiagnosed trichomonisis along with cystitis pain that lasted a good year thanks to a useless doctor.
I missed a lot of college lessons.
I then started getting back and neck pain
The cystitis pain recurred multiple times and I could figure out why, somtimes I had an infection and other times nothing.

After my children were born I had postnatal depression, and I couldn't stay on birth control due to the pain I got in my legs, which then resulted in my skin breaking out after 7 years I still have acne.

I then started having pain during intercourse, I hated my partner touching my genitals because it hurt, I still cannot stand him inserting his fingers as it gives me the most horrible sensation.

After years of lower body issues I was told I might have interstitial cystitis but later diagnosed with trigonitis after investigation.(having a flare up now so extra despessed and feel rubbish at 4am).

I also have lichen sclerosis of my clit so (looks like scar tissue and is very painful), the gynecologist as examined me with her fingers and when she pressed up where my bladder was I felt that horrible sensation like when my hubby touched me .

I've also been diagnosed with ibs, possible chronic fatigue

And the problems with my skin are all around my neck and jaw indicating hormone problems (family history of it).
Oh and I have costocondritis!.

All this along with my back pain chest pain. Is really getting me down and I dont know if I can live another 70 years I dread becoming with all thses issues.

I thank the heavens that I don't have a job and my hubby can support us as I would be taking so much time off.

I know there are people with more serious issues with severe pain. But this is my pain and its causing me to cry most nights.

I just want to not be alive so I can be pain free

I'm so sorry things are so difficult. I didn't want to read and run.

What have your gps and specialists suggested? Have you sought a second opinion?

Have you tried something calming like yoga or mindfulness to try and relax? I know it's not a cure, but maybe it would help you feel calmer. I've never tried acupuncture, but have heard it helps many people with pain. Reiki can also help temporarily. Have you looked into cbd oil? Again it seems to help some people with chronic pain.
