Second question folks.
I keep beating myself up for smoking and doing this to myself and my family (particularly my kids who have to watch me wrangling this beast).
COPD has incredible physical challenges but the mental ones are equally confronting. The grief for the life I thought I would have has, and continues to be, overwhelming.
I know I need to accept it and focus on the future but in those dark moments I feel such a lot of self hatred.
How have you all managed? The would really appreciate reading your stories and advice.
Thank you 🙂
