hello all, this is all new to me, I hope everyone is well !

I was on dialysis for 7 years before getting me transplant on 8/8/21

It’s been a journey!!!! Have been in hospital with long stay quite a few times with sepsis and well I’m just wondering if anyone else can relate or some advice as I feel really down and depressed now and it’s affecting me just generally and my whole life. I also feel no one understand what I have to go through all the time with hospital admissions and being unwell all the time .

Sorry to be a downer on a Sunday evening guys

stay well and thanks for reading it means a lot

NO one unless they go through it will get this. CKD is a battle no matter where you are in the disease course. Just remember a couple of things. You have fought and won several times. You know how hard that is? You have saved yourself and are thriving, even if it is not perfect. You are a Warrior, and no one can take that strength away from you. It is a powerful force and an amazing force. Do something with that strength. Share your story. Inspired others. Be proud of your accomplishments. Know that although your body goes through some real trials, and challenges, you seem to come out successful and alive. Be proud of that.

Thank you. This bought tears to my eyes. I have been through a lot but it feels like no one understands the battles. Your kind words mean so much and thank you for prompt response. I literally just tucked my head in my blanket and I saw this notification. You’re right boo one will get it. I think I’m depressed, I’ve asked my transplant consultant to advice about some support but I get thrown to the GP who doesn’t care really. Just finding everything like everything so so hard and I feel like a complete loser. I should be happy right I’m 36 but something is wrong in my head.

Thank you again and thank you for being a real person
