Bad day

[pamela67]

Keep getting upset I no there's people worse of then me but having a real bad day today

[Is4bell4]

Hi Pamela, bad days happen to us all, I had a really bad night!

But just knowing that I could come on here and either be humorous

or 'bad day' is always a great release.

Can you tell why it is such a bad day?

We all maybe able to relate to it?

Give you a little bit of a lift.

Hi Pam getting upset or depressed is part of having COPD I'm afraid, good days and bad days. If its real bad perhaps calling BLF on 03000 030 555 might help they have trained councillors there. I know when feeling down it can be hard to get motivated to do anything.

Is there nothing you can distract ourself with, any friends or family you can call.

With any luck there'll be someone else long soon who can help.

I write and paint to keep myself engaged as it were - and sometimes jut sit and worry.

Chin up Pam think bout the last person or thing that made your eyes light up.

Take care,

Chris xx

Hi Pam,I doubt there are many people who are in a bad way and can console themselves by thinking well there's someone worse off than me. It's your bad day and completely personal to you. I just try to think that tomorrow I may feel a bit better, sometimes it goes on for days and days and seems no end in sight then suddenly for no apparent reason I'm feeling better. Some may say snap out of it - I've learned to just go with it and that way you don't put too high expectations on yourself then feel you've let yourself down. If you feel you have more down days than up days then maybe you should see your gp or copd nurse, depression is very common with copd (as with all chronic illnesses) and there are things that can be done to help. Hoping you are feeling better very soon. Libby x

Hi ros I no bad day happen to us all sometimes things get abut to much I've Had one health problem after another think things have just got on top of me this site as been my rock everybody as been lovely also Iam on day 8 of not smoking xxx

Day 8 of not smoking ! Hey Pam there's your reason to be cheerful !

One of the hardest things to do and definitely the best and you're on day 8 WELL DONE !

You'll get lots of support her from people on the same road - keep it up.

Good luck,

Giving up smoking can take its toll on your mood as well Pam.

No one is better or worse than you, When you are low you are low.

But talking is a great relief, especially if those close to you just can't get

to grips with it! Or you may be alone with it all.

Perhaps we could all come to yours for the Friday night rave,

I will bring a bottle and Richard will bring Margarita. lol

Just send out the invites eh!

So sorry its a bad day for you. That is miserable and it doesn't really help if there are people worse off than you - a bad day is a bad day for you. Try to remember the bad days don't last forever, there will be better days. If it is your breathing that is very bad - do you need to ring your doctor? Perhaps the helpline could give you some advise.

Importantly be kind to yourself, spoil yourself and look after yourself. Try to distract yourself - I love to read and always feel better when I have given myself a manicure!

Take good care with a bit of luck tomorrow will be a much better day for you. With love TAD xx

Pamela we all get bad days it is allowed you know. I along with many others have started to take something to help us cope with them, some don't need anything. Everyone is different you could possibly start by ringing the BLF help line and have a chat with them. Also have you spoken to your own GP they just might be more helpful than you think.

Of course you have got us lot as well we (well nearly all of us) never judge and do know somewhat how you are feeling

I'm sorry you are having a bad day. As everyone says, it does happen from time to time and can even last a few days. The helpline is a good idea and as Janet says, come on here to chat as much as you want, there will always e support for you from people who care and understand.

I have bad days too pamela, and it's worse for you because you're trying not to smoke and day 8 is a crucial day and you've done so well, think of that 8 days no smoking and how much better you're going to feel.

Bless you there is nothing worse than feeling down and miserable ... we all get bad days so just ride through it and give yourself a huge pat on the back for giving up the smokes I think you have done a fantastic job so far .... chin up and best foot forward ... go look in the mirror and pull funny faces and smile (that's what I do) this day will pass and the good one is just around the corner.
