Sleep Apnea Support Group
Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep. People with sleep apnea partially awaken as they struggle to breathe, but in the morning they may not be aware of sleep disturbances.
Those of you in the group who are not my friends don't know I went through a serious psychological crisis this week. I was going to commit suicide. A big cause of it was a financial crisis, but I think another part of it was my cpap machine. It is very old and doesn't have the correct settings. As background, I was going through suicide thoughts about 6 times a year. After being diagnosed and getting on cpap, they stopped. Have anyone had the same symptoms?
I'm so sorry to hear that you've been so dispondent, and know what it can be like to feel hopeless. However, tomorrow is always a new day. We've also gone through a dramatic "reversal of fortune" as I try to call it, and it's certainly no joking matter. However, life if a constant adjustment, and often good things are just around the corner. Hang in there, do ALL you can to remedy these problems, and keep remembering that it DOES get better. Just give it time. You apparently have children, and they always need their dad, no matter how old they get to be.
As overlook said, lack of proper sleep can do awful things to you. Find a way to fix that CPAP problem, and things should improve quickly. Good Luck, and BIG HUG!
