I have no idea how to fix anything and it all needs fixed. I was up late last night but finally got to sleep without my cpap which is not an easy thing to do when you're used to falling asleep with it. I just ate cereal but that's all I can manage. I'm on the phone listening to my friend tell me about his day. (We do this every day almost.) I am frozen like I can't do anything. Don't know what to do. Don't know if I could call my pdoc's office to get a message to her or if I should just go back to sleep cuz why bother...

I use a CPAP too, and I know how hard it is to sleep without it when you are so used to falling asleep with it. What part of your mask ripped? Could you MacGyver it together? Is there a way that you could share a picture of it so we could figure out a temp fix until you could contact your CPAP provider for an emergency replacement? I know that you are feeling low and that call may be tough, but its one that you want to try to make. Maybe if you can't make it there is someone you can ask to help make it for you? You have a few hours left in daylight if you are in the US, so you can still make things happen. Do your best!
It might not hurt to reach out to your pdoc. Just let them know that you are in the lows. If you do nothing other, it will feel like action to you. That's something, right?
Sending warm thoughts your way.
