Feeling Helpless

[ciroze_05]

So i had my blood test today, i think that all of it was normal, except my pottassium because its low and i was recommend to take KCL for three days,that was my doctor says..My doctor is out so i just send him all my results..

I was to be examined also for whole abdominal ultrasound but its out of our budget yet, hopefully i can do it by nextweek😊Because eversince i was diagnosed i barely can make money so it was hard for my wife to provide everything and i pity her for that🙁

Im feel depressed sometimes thinking all what my drinking habit cause it..

P.S

sorry for the drama

Hope everyone has a great day!!

Hi Ciroze

Don't focus on the past, do not make yourself feel bad. Depression drains us of all motivation. It is bad enough that our bodies ache and that makes it hard for us to get up and go to work but depression will try to make any effort impossible. Do not let it win.

Focus on the good things, your wife sounds amazing, looking after you and working, you should focus on the fact that you are so lucky to have her. Being happy will give you energy you think you do not have. When we cannot work, we can still tidy the house a little, we can cook a meal for our wives, we can pick a few flowers as a thank you for what they do.

All these things seem tiny, but, they will mean so much to your wife, plus, it is good for us to get active. The smile on our wives faces is also a huge bonus.

I'm sure you know fresh fruit (especially bananas) is a good source of potassium.

Take care

Dave

Thank You Dave for this. Yes im so lucky to have her by my side despite of all this.It's just that i can't help myself to feel depressed sometimes because i can't help her with financial aspect.We've been struggling financial since my diagnosed. The meds and the follow up check ups etc.. Sometimes i wonder to ask help on this forum but i know we are all struggling.

Yeah i can do little household chores, like fixing our christmas light since holidays is coming and she is so happy with that, watering our plants too. She doesnt want me to cook because i may put more salt on my food😂

Do you have cihhrosis too? I have decompensated liver disease..

Take Care

I'm still waiting for my fibroscan. I have hepatitis c, (possibly had it for 30 years) and my platelets are low, type 2 diabetes and I am (finally) beating depression. I do not know what state my liver is in yet, but I feel tired, dizzy, breathless, headaches and a little sick especially if I eat fatty or salty food... and I itch (worst is at night, it can keep me awake) but since confronting my depression I can now cope better with any problems as they come along.

Stay positive

Dave
