Just a rant.
I am fed up with this illness. Nothing makes me think more than I will be glad when my day comes. For me life sucks, family deserted me. I am sorry if I made anyone feel uneasy. My rant is over.
Hi
, I hear how difficult this time has been for you and I appreciate you sharing so openly with us.

Please know our community understands what you are dealing with and we are always here to support you. Whether it is a place to rant or to find someone to talk with, please know you always have listening ears here. Wishing you a peaceful day. All the best, Sam S. (COPD.net, team member).

I can relate. This year, for the very first time ever, no one came to visit over the holidays. Not Thanksgiving, or Christmas, and they are not coming for New Year's either, I'm pretty sure. So, I feel ya. Also, for the first time ever, I did not do the traditional cooking (I've always been the chief cook in the family, at least since my divorce in 1984). No one to feed, and no money to pay for it. I did make phone calls, but they didn't call me. Oh, well. I am well and truly on my own, with nothing to distract me from my COPD. I have also not felt very well, so the isolation has been complete. But I will endeavor to persevere. I will make it turn out different in the coming year. Thank you
Thank you
