Living with neuropathic pain is not only physically challenging, but it can be emotionally difficult as well. You may experience depression, anxiety, loss of self-esteem, frustration, anger, and isolation. But you are not alone. There are more than 26 million people worldwide—10 million in the alone—who suffer from neuropathic pain. Sometimes it helps to discuss your feelings with others who are experiencing the same thing.
