I Have Lung Problem And Depression.

This is Tiffany, first of all i want to thank my sister Terri for making this page for me . I can not thank you enough for everything you do for me.I want to thank my fans I have noticed that i have ppl on here that have no idea who i am an i have ppl on here that i no longer talk to. It does NOT matter who you are I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart I have been batteling this disease since march 29th2008 which is when i had my first attack on a camping trip with my friend Bianca at carls bad state beach, if it was NOT for her I prolly would not b here today something woke her up an told her to check on me an when she woke up she heard me making a weird noise an i got up took a deep breath an i couldn t get the air out, she called 911 an from that day on i have had this undiagnosed lung conditon. Befor all of this iwas a crazy lil party girl an wanted to become an RN sooooo bad. Pretty much I am just trying to say that NO ONE should ever take their life for granted because you never know what tomorrow brings. My life has changed so much an just in an blink of an eye it seems like. I am now on oxygen 24 /7 an they keep increasing the amount. Since i have been Ill i have been on steroids (prednisone) it does what it is suppose to do(keep my airways open) but has horrible side effects . I weighed 110lbs befor an i gained a lot of weight since i have been on them. It all just started with a lung problem well now the steroids gave me more problems. I now have, fibrmyalagia,bone an joint disease ,constant pain, i swell all the time, my toes are always grey, fast heart rate resting rate for me is like (130 +) normal is 60 to 100 I take 10 diff meds an 3 diff heart meds to try an get my heart rate down,because my heart is starting to ware out .Its compusating for lungs because my lungs are not working properly., i also am getting cateracs, all my teeth keep breaking, i cant stand long i have to b in a wheel chair out of the house because i can not stand long or walk very far without changing colors an becoming short of breath.I also have already had a TIA(mini stroke) an a possible mild heart attack, . It does NOT matter what i had befor i became ill or what i use to look like or anything like that its all about what I have NOW an even tho my life has changed so much i am still thankful for being here. I am thankful for the oxygen that i have to help me breathe, my wheelchair to get me around an still try to live my life to the fullest. I am so thankful for each morning i wake up an see my friends or fam or mayb just to look at my wall an see how much ppl really do care or just to even get a text message in the morning I am so thankful for everything i have. Just always remember please never take life for granted because your life can change in a blink of an eye. i am living proof. you can have everything today an nothing tomorrow. I am so thankful for each breath i take but also very scared to breathe out . I have the most amazing friends an family &support group. I am not trying to put this on blast to have ppl feel sorry for me or want attention or anything like that. I am hoping that I get help out of this , but also i hope that this opens everyones eyes an realize how fast your life can change. I will try my best to keep this up to date with the help of my sis haha :) I am in an out of the hospital alll the time an somedays im just stuck in bed because i am too weak to move. I love all of you an again cant thank you enough. God bless each an everyone of you. MY own motto I Was Only Given This Life, Because I am strong enough to live it

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I can understand your emotions. You did go through so many life experiences which are supposed to set your thinking straight and positive. But otherwise happened.

We come across so many events in our past. Some are negative and the maximum are positive. We program our brain so as to remember the negative events. Positive events teach us positive lessons and negative events also teach us POSITIVE lessons. In that case, we should forget the negative events and boast about the positive lesson we learnt from it and cherish it. That is how positive thoughts manifest and our brain gets reprogrammed.

Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
