Hi . If I remember correctly, you have COPD as well. This is a tough time of year for people with COPD. The cold weather (in many places) and the lack of daylight can add to the COPD limitations and bring on depression. Throw in weight gain (I think you said you gained weight from steroids.) and it can be even harder.
It's really important to stay connected and to share your feelings with your doctor or others that you trust. Are you aware that we have a sister community for people with COPD, COPD.net? It's an active community and people are super supportive of each other. I moderate there as well. I think you might benefit from the connections you can make there and from knowing that you are not alone.
Are there other stresses that are making you feel so defeated?
Please know we're here for you whenever you need us. Gentle hugs. - Lori (Team Member)
