    I can't seem to do anything. I have no support.

    So where to begin? I've kind of been stuck in place for a while. Try as I might, I can't seem to get the ball rolling on anything.

    The Depression Letter

    Reading the Fibromyalgia letters made me think I should write one like it, only talking about Depression. So I just now did.

    Hi everyone, I am relatively new to the fibro world, although I have had chronic pain for a few years, it has only been recently that my doctors have started thinking they better do something about it and get some diagnosis sorted! I am only 22 so they are being very reluctant to actually...
