Sweetheart, give yourself a break. A pain syndrome is hell on earth and it would drive the angels themselves to cuss like a sailor. In the past I have felt as you feel. I have felt suicidal. I have felt trapped in my own body, in my own mind. It's awful beyond any known measure of awfulness. But you can break free. You can heal.
For God's sake take painkillers if you need to. There is no point martyring yourself. There are no TMS saints. The idea of quitting medication is just that - an idea.
For many people it puts the cart before the horse. Most folk find they need to gain some ground in terms of pain-relief before they tackle coming off meds. And that is perfectly ok. There is no one path of recovery, only your path of recovery. Find what works for you and stay the course. Loads of people have overcome pelvic pain, so take heart and go gently.
