Bob asked:
I am only 30 yrs old. have attempted suicide twice in my life. Also have almost constant pain in stomach due to long-term anxiety, depression and stress. Also have chronic pain in rt shoulder and rt knee. Also have SEVERE headaches due to facial neuralgia. I have been to multiple psychiatrists, psychotherapists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, homeopaths, herbalists, acupuncturists, Reiki healers, Bio-energy healers etc etc but with little benefit. Currently using a new allopathic medicine for the depression and headaches. It seems to work atleast partially. also getting counselling/psychotherapy with some benefit. I have lost my lovely fiance due to my illness. Tried to marry again but the girl’s parents refused to give their daughter to a mentally sick man. It has also destroyed my once-great career. My psychiatrist is not very optimistic about me. It is very difficult to live with this constant physical and mental pain.Is there any HOPE for me? Or is Suicide the only answer???

See a specialist my friend, suicide is not an option.
Do not commit suicide. That solves nothing and you are only 30. You have your whole life ahead of you. Just see a therapist, it’s nothing to be ashamed of.
You are still young my friend. have you tried becoming a vegan? Give up processed foods and meat. Eat only organic whole foods. Its not easy to do. Maybe you are having adverse alergic reactions to chemicals in our foods. I fixed all my physical ailments through changing my diet. Also I would recomend a colon leanse to get rid of old toxins built up in your system. Cleanse your body my friend.
Sometimes medicines are not the only answer to illness. Diet, exercise and sleep are the most powerful ailments I promise you. Visit for their headache and sleep information. I bet you will find it quite enlightening.
Hi Bob.
I’m sorry for all the problems you’ve had. I can make a suggestion but you might not be ready to hear it.
Your question is “Can anyone cure me?”–so you want the work taken away from you. No matter what the illness is, or who you turn to for help, you have to take responsibility for your own healing. The question is, “Can you help me heal myself?” Any healing takes work and dedication. If you have a headache, no one’s going to walk up to you and hand you an aspirin. You have to say, “Hey, anyone got an aspirin I can have?” That’s vocalizing your need.
If inside your belief is that healing is from an outside source that has nothing to do with you, it’s not going to happen. It requires your participation. And not going to someone and saying “Can you fix me?” It’s not about someone else fixing you. You aren’t a car with a bad carburetor. It’s about saying, “I’m in mental and physical pain and I need help. What can I do, what can WE do, to help me overcome this pain?” Do you see the difference? It’s HUGE change in thinking.
It also sounds like you are fighting very hard against your illnesses, and fighting causes stress, and stress will make you feel worse.
If you go around saying “Look at me, I’m mentally ill” people will treat you accordingly. I see this with my own father. He has Alzheimer’s. Sometimes he tries to get into a discussion with strangers because he’s still a friendly guy, and they’ll look at him a little funny because he can’t talk correctly anymore. Once I explain his condition people’s demeanor toward my dad totally change. A woman who had been looking at my dad as if he was some kind of stupid idiot when he didn’t move out of the way of a moving vehicle, took his arm very nicely and called him “dear” after I explained. My point isn’t that you have Alzheimer’s (you’re way too young) but that people’s perceptions of you, and therefore how they treat you, comes from what they are TOLD about you.
I have been through lots of therapy myself and I also do healing work and I’m giving you my perspective.
I hope that you find the help you need and that you are able to become whole once again. I also hope that you do not choose suicide. Not because I think it’s wrong, but because I think your problems can be overcome.

Inpatient Psychiatric Hospitalization Following Involuntary Job Loss
This article examines the impact of involuntary job loss on mental health as measured by admission to inpatient psychiatric treatment. Specifically, we investigate the impact on admission due to affective disorders, alcohol or drug abuse, and nervous or stress-related disorders. We focus on job loss due only to establishment closures, as this focus reduces the problem of distinguishing between causation and selection. Using linked employee-employer register data, we identify the job losses due to all establishment closures in Sweden in 1987-88. During a subsequent 12-year period we find that job loss significantly increased the risk of overall inpatient psychiatric hospital admission among women but not among men. When the results are broken down into the specific categories of mental disorders, we find that inpatient psychiatric treatment due to affective disorders and alcohol or drug abuse is significantly higher among the displaced women but we find no such effect for nervous or stress-related disorders. Among men, we find no significant impact of job loss on any of the categories of discharge diagnoses.
