Guest guest Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 I'm sure you have all had those awful nights where you lie awake and wonder why this is happening. What do you do? I feel it is the devil working on my fears but it is so hard to overcome. And it carries over into the day. When I was first diagnosed with ILD, I knew it was bad but felt I could overcome. But as time goes on, I have realized that may not happen. I not ready to give up the hope that I and my immediate family pray for, but feelings of doom seem to envelope me. I'm not on O2, so I probably don't have much to complain about. There is just so much unknown about this crappy disease and that makes it difficult for me to handle. Everyone's journey seems to be different - including medications, symptoms, lifestyles, environment. I'm very independent and dread the idea of losing that. I've always relied on prayer and my inner strength to handle problems, but I wonder now if I have enough for this journey in life. Sorry to be so gloomy. Maybe it is the late lent/pre-Easter blues I needed to bring these feelings to someone, and I knew all of you would understand. I also know it will get better ... I just hope soon! gigi ILD 3/07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
