[Margie2553]

Still struggling with this depression even though I'm feeling a bit better probably won't last and will end up pulling myself down again I no I'm not doing myself any favours and not helping my condition was doing so well and it's just hit me keep thinking I'm on borrowed time all since the nurse said you do know it's bad I've been really down seeing a friend today who's had copd a long time i think it will help and thank goodness i have such a caring husband

Feeling better after talking to my friend the nurse made it sound like all was over but seeing my friend 10 years copd has helped and realising how slowly this condition progresses makes me realise there is a life still to be lived

Hi you keep fighting no matter what anyone says. The nurse should be encouraging you. You keep smiling you have your husband family friends and all of us for support. Let us know how you are. Take care 😊 xx Bernadette

Sorry to hear you struggling. Are you getting any help? Medications? Talking therapies? So glad you have a lovely husband. Me too, and it makes a huge difference.

Good advice.

So sorry that you're feeling down. Have a word with your doctor and see if there's anything they can do to help. Glad you have good support at home. I hope that you get something sorted and are feeling better soon. Take care. Pam XXX

Sorry to hear this but I know all to well how you feel. As time passes it does get better, then wham! out of the blue it strikes again. Exercise helps. Try not to spend too much time on the computer. Writing & sharing your feelings helps to get them out. Some one on this site wrote (when I was having a rough day) that "sharing your troubles divides them in half". Take care, Gayle
