Week help: I feel like I am at my wit’s end and I don’t know what to do. - Help.com

I feel like I am at my wit’s end and I don’t know what to do.

I am asthmatic and for the past year or so my asthma has gradually been getting worse and worse. I am on steroid tablets now and feel like I can hardly breathe. I also have been getting recurrent chest infections and have been on a lot of antibiotics and had to go for a CT scan last week as the doctors don’t know what to do to help me. I eat healthily and take supplements that are supposed to help asthmatics, yet this doesnt seem to help. I also drink lots of water and try to get enough sleep every night. I have even tried to go to yoga and do some special breathing exercises, but yet I still get bad asthma! I really don’t know what to do. I feel that I am constantly letting people down as I feel exhausted all the time and have to cancel on them when I can’t breathe well and am having a particularly bad day, which seems to be happening more and more often recently. I would really appreciate anyones help or advice on this matter. I hate to moan, but I had to get it out my system!

WOW! Hun, I am so sorry to hear that…We all just seem to take our health for granted and when I hear about your situation..It makes me realize it all the more. First of all do not care so much about letting other people down…Think abou tyou and your health..When you get bogged down in negativity and worry and depression about everyone else..It takes the focus off you and your health….I do not have asthma nor so I know anyone with it…BUT I hope you do not smoke? And exercise seems to help most things..Other than that you say you are eating healthy and taking the required supplements…Medical technology seems to haver came a very long way with this stuff..I will be praying for you and if i hear of anything..I will pass it along…Be blessed and be healthy…Ad thru GOD all things are possible…
