That sounds just miserable Lynz, I'm sad to hear how bad it has been for you. I've had that in the past, when the family is just tired of me not feeling well and I felt really alone.
I just came back to Dailystrength after a couple of years so I feel kind of new here myself even though I used to come here for a long time. But no one to talk to here anymore.
Feel free to reply or add me as a friend

Well,, .. welcome to DS and this group. I am no doctor, but something strange about your post. I am pretty sure that if you get a 'cold' .. it is a virus infection. Body fights it off and then you are immune to THAT virus. Of course the 'common cold' virus changes .. genetically, ... so you can get another cold ... and it is a cycle. I THINK the cold and flu 'season' is annual ... so, each year, we are susceptible to one virus per year ... and once over it can get it again (different virus) next year. IF I AM CORRECT, you should not be getting the flu/cold repeatedly since December. BUT, .. I am PROBABLY WRONG .... but that is what occurred to me. Perhaps it is something else???

Cracked, bruised, strained ribs are VERY painful. Must have been a huge cough to crack one ... but anything is possible.

I hope you feel MUCH better very soon and I an sorry your family is not sympathetic. .

Welcome to Daily Strength. Sorry to hear that you have been so ill and that your family are treating you poorly and not supportive. I hope you can get your health back soon. If you are an adult, I would suggest that you seek professional help by seeing a psychiatrist who can properly diagnose your situation. They may recommend medication and/or talk therapy. I know that panic attacks can be treated with anti depressant medication. If talk therapy is recommended, you would greatly benefit from it. An allergist I was seeing told me that I was getting sick so frequently because I was depressed and he suggested that I see a psychiatrist. I did see a doctor who prescribed medication along with talk therapy. If you are a teenager, talk to your mom about your depression and panic attacks and ask her if she could arranger for you to see a doctor. I am also returning to Daily Strength after leaving for a while. I hope you get the help you need. Feel free to contact me when you need to talk.

Hi I am sorry to hear that you have been sick and dealing with depression, I know when we are weak physically its a lot harder to deal with life period. Do you have a doctor? Are you own any medicines for depression? Sometimes when we just cannot cope a medical professional will help, do you have a therapist or counselor? Talking things out with someone is really helpful. I am sorry that your family is not being supportive, I will be praying for you and if you would like to talk more I am here to listen.

I feel very connected to your situation. I have been losing to my cronic depression and a serious case of social anxiety disorder. I see my psyc doctor oncea month and a therapist once a month. I see four other doctors for other diseases. what touched a nerve for me is that my brother calls me once a month for 5 minutes and my sister and I have not talked in 10 years. we had a big family argument when I was having a bad day. I am 90% shut in and have no friends. the lonliness is getting worse and killing me. the only time I smile is when my cats go crazy fu nny. 2 ideas for you if you are able to get a pet, do it. they are great friends and have good intuition. secondly, get a psych dr. for meds and a therapist for someone who will understand and help you. I hope I helped.
