One thing I know, the daily grind of neuropathy can take a heavy toll. The mental toll can be just as heavy as the physical symptoms, the entire day is spent managing pain! For me, this leads to isolation, anger, and fear. I have found that talking to a counselor or mental health professional isn't about fixing your feet; it’s about having someone in your corner to help me manage the psychological pain. They give you an outlet to vent and work on issues to deal with the stress. I have been able to experience big benefits with techniques for managing all the stuff rattling around in my head.
A large part of this process is about changing your perspective so the pain doesn't define your entire life. This is very often overlooked however it can help as much as any socks, pills, or supplements!
