I started meditation. It seems to really help

@A MyCOPDTeam Member Hi my doctor has prescribed antidepressant (Sipralexa) and anxiolytic very low dose, it helps but doesn't really solve our problem which is COPD; but it makes us taking problems more smoothly. Hugs 🌸

Thank you for answering me, Chris! That's exactly how I feel! Now, I don't feel so alone - didn't know COPD could actually do this to you. I don't want to take meds to correct it - I try to hide it from family and friends and for the most part, I think that I do a fairly good job. I will have a scotch and water occasionally. That will help calm and relax me.

Hi jackie i also suffer with mental health bi polar and lots of others and physical both equally bad i write just getting my thoughts out there its amazing write for days i go on pages try getting your thoughts feelings on paper it might not be for you but works wonders and families forget your not the old person you once were we do too but this frigging illness takes a lot from us don't let it take your spirit it certainly hasn't taken your strength as you get out of bed every day my lovely 😍 keep fighting keep going breathe easy wishing you well Hun 💞 xx

I have just started with the slight depression part of this lovely disease. I have always been a mild mannered, go with the flow type of person, but now I'm finding that things are really getting to me more than they should; things people say, things I can't do. For now I guess I just try to figure out what I can do to get out of this "blue funk" and move on with the day. I don't want to become dependent on medication for this either, and for me alcohol would not be the answer, but to each his own. I would certainly appreciate some words of wisdom on this subject also, so thank you for asking the question @A MyCOPDTeam Member and thanks to @A MyCOPDTeam Member and @A MyCOPDTeam Member for your answers. I am finding it very hard to get motivated to do anything and I know that's the depression part of this illness. My ability to have a spotless house, cooking and laundry all done and everything perfect has definitely taken a turn for the worse and I hate it, but lack the motivation to do anything about it. Well thank you for listening to me rant on about me, me, me. I hope we all have a better day today! Chris
