Imagination out of control is WORRY. Worry never gets us anywhere.
Pain can certainly grind you down so you are tired and we may retreat from help. Decide to get support when you need it- friends, family, a good pain discussion forum, whatever helps you to feel empowered. You deserve it!

Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness...be gentle with yourself.
