every day is hard

[barlock]

been on so many pills for so long and am finally on one now i am trying to figure out. been so depressed I hardly have any happy thoughts. Weather here is cold. Not much snow yet but am not looking forward to it cause I am not capable of doing too many things. COPD and anxiety together is the pits. Been going on too long.been feeling not to bad on the new pills but am still searching for just a little more help. was thinking of going inpatient for a couple months to get pills sorted out but am just feeling the best I have for a few months so I am not ready to have them screw with my meds again

Hi barlock, I am sorry that you are going through this. Life can get so difficult... the times when I struggle to get out of bed are so dark. COPD sounds really hard too. Does it get any better when your anxiety is lower? I have been amazed how much better I feel physically when anxiety is not overpowering.

I had to do inpatient for a few weeks 1.5 years ago and it was really good for me. I guess ride these days out and see what happens, but I think that is the best place to get stuff adjusted. I wish you peace, hope, and strength

when anxiety is low, breathing is not too bad. yes, some days can be difficult and dark. thanks for the pep talk. Everyone in the last few years has no idea what it has been like cause they don't have it. they tell you breathe. you can breathe til your guts hurt and it doesnt get much better.😒
