I wish my chronic pain didn't necessitate pain meds, though

I wish my chronic pain didn't necessitate pain meds, though I also wish I could go off 15 years of anti-depressants without spiraling down. I do have just a tiny bit of hope, though no real expectations of ever being medication-free. There's also the matter of sleep meds and stimulants.

Hey there, I think hope is something that can be powerful because although sometimes it might look like a tiny seed, we can do things to grow it into something bigger, and more powerful. What are your thoughts? sending hugs and support to you!
