Hey there Nikki!
Sorry to hear about the job. Its awful having a job and depression - I wouldn't be able to cope at all. The thing I hate the most about depressive illness is the impact that it has on our lives, as in doing job stuff etc.
You know, you feel as if your life is being limited by a condition you have, and not by anything comprehenable like intelligence, natural ability etc. I mean, if you had type 1 diabetes, you would have a chronic condition, but you could still *work* normally, or at least have the same drive and ambition and motivation as before the diabetes. You know what I mean?
Anyway have you considered trying a TCA for the pain + depression?? Some types of TCA are effective against neuropathic pain apparently.
BTW - I didn't have enough NI contributions to claim Incapacity Benefit. It sucks!
Kind regards
Meri
