I feel hopeless

I feel hopeless

I feel like everytime I try to get on top of things, something happens. I try getting back to doing things in my life like walking and next day and all week long I have an asthma flare up, I can barely cook dinner without being out of breath, can't have a bath or shower without feeling the same. I've had to quit my job over three years ago, the mental health system is crap and you basically have to deal with things by yourself. I'm over people telling me it's all in my head and things will get better, well how about you take my life and see how you live. I get told to rest, not happening when you live by yourself. No one else is gonna cook or go shopping. I just want to be able to think clearly without having outbursts from medication. I'm just venting but it's hard. I feel isolated and have had trust broken so many times I wouldn't even know who to let in.

Re: I feel hopeless

Hi @Knj,

I'm sorry to read how tough things are for you. It sounds like you have been through a lot over the last few years. My aunty had chronic asthma so I know somewhat how challenging it can be and how much it can impact your day to day life. I wish I had some words or wisdom or useful advice to offer but unfortunately all I can offer is my understanding and compassion for how hard things are for you.

It's good to vent and express how you are feeling so feel free to do it as often as you like on the Forums.

Warm wishes,

FloatingFeather
