I spent an unpleasant night tangled in cables like poorly packed marionette to learn I have sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can cause daytime fatigue. depression, and nighttime panic attacks.

I'm wondering I'd anyone here can report that depression lifted with treatment for sleep apnea.

I'm currently in a depression, so my feedback isn't direct. When I'm out of the depression I'll be hoping to find the CPAP helps with daytime fatigue and managing Bipolar 2.

Why I am writing is that after many years of short duration attempts to keep the CPAP mask on all night long, and hating every minute of it. I succeeded and now reach for the mask, and can wear it no problem. Not even the hose bothers me anymore.

Since you just took the sleep test, you will soon be assigned to a supply company. For me, initially I wasn't aware of the availability of a respiratory therapist. When you go to get your CPAP, ask what help they have if you have trouble keeping the mask on.

So many encouraged me to keep trying. The latest mask fit perfect for me. It still took a few nights. I was actually shocked that the mask was still on when I woke up. I'm glad I kept trying.

Now if I remove the mask for any time at all I wake up feeling like "before" and I don't want that anymore. Before was eyes and face looking oxygen deprived.

Good luck with breathing all night :-)
