Going over the edge

  I'm going over the edge.  The pain is bringing my brain down with it.  I broke out in tears this morning just out of frustration.  It even seems Foxy doesn't care any more.  I'm just a nuisence to to her.  She doesn't want anything to do with me.  She just tries to stay out of my way.  Can't work.  Can't do much of anything.  Just watch t.v., smoke,eat, and sleep.  This is not a life!  I want more!  There's no one to talk to,,,no preacher or friends.  My sisters have other things to do and wouldn't understand my problems.  There's no one.

I am very sorry you are having such a bad day and feel so alone. I know some days are just sad, but you must look to a higher power and to a brighter day. Please have a little talk with God. Are there no family, neighbors or anyone you can socialize with?
Are you on an antidepressant? Seeing a doctor and looking into this type thing might help. What about actual support groups there in your community? I know there would not be one anywhere as good as ours here, but to see live people might be a good thing. Please feel better---we do care here about you and I know sometimes days seem hopeless, but tomorrow is another day. A day to start over and make things better if at all possible.
Love and hugs and good vibes are being sent to you- -

I am so sorry to hear things are a struggle right now, please reach out for support.

Have you looked into joining a local better breathers club? Call you local hospital or United Way or Health Department - they should be able to help you find the closest chapter.

Also, the COPD foundation has a support line at 1-866-316-COPD (2673). Call them & ask to speak to a COPD volunteer.

Finally, remember that the DS COPD community is here for you. Post a discussion topic or send messages to members. You are not as alone as you think you are these days.

Love,
TJ

Sorry to hear you are in all this pain. I know it is frustrating for you. You do have your DS friends but I know that is not the same. You need a real live person......I understand that.
Hope things get better for you soon. My family and I will be moving to Virginia this week so I may not be online very much. Will be thinking of you and praying that this pain will subside and you will find someone soon.
Hugs,
Gabby
