Hello everyone,
I feel like I am the most emotionally mixed up person on the planet,ever since my diagnosis of COPD,I have cried so much,I have this overwhelming sadness,my heart feels so heavy,then I find myself feeling angry and frustrated and wanting so much to believe that this is all a mistake and I have been misdiagnosed,I have been hyperventilating a lot..well at least I think that is what it is,I keep feeling like I cant get a good breath in,I really feel like so many things have happened in my life and I have not managed to get over one hurdle before the next one came along or if I did it was short lived,I'm hoping for better days,I was diagnosed with depression many years ago and no matter what they tried me on it didn't seem to help or I had side effects..so I have just tried to ride it out, I feel I can vent here I just want things to be better and I want some normality back in my life,I know that I need to play a part ,to be able to embrace what is good about my life more so than focus on whats not but I just find it hard right now.to all...
Hugs from:

Aw! You need extra hugs!((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))) COPD will be a puzzle to get your head around, but really, it can be managed.
Please visit here anytime, I am a chatter box and very good listener, as are many here.
I wish you all the best on this journey to a better place ...

Thankyou so much for the extra hugs,that is really sweet of you,I know you are right when you say it can be managed,I'm thinking that everything combined is just wearing me down.....I am usually one to bounce back
Thankyou for your offer,I would love to chatter with you and I extend the same to you,I noticed on your mood status that you are in pain....sending gentle hugs your wayI am no stranger to pain,I am in the process of trying to find answers.
I look forward to chatting with you..
Take care

Sorry to hear of you diagnosis. My mother had COPD for years and it can be managed. My best was just diagnosed with it too. I think feeling like you can't get a good breath is part of the disease. Mainly try to stay calm and breathe evenly.
Wishing you the best.
Gayle
