INTRODUCE YOURSELF


My name is Ellie and I hail from the sunshine state. I started this forum because I felt so alone in dealing with many medical issues especially severe chronic depression. I searched everywhere for a place I would feel comfortable and find support...but nothing really fit me.
So I decided to start my own forum and see where this leads. A short version of my story is in a job I had with the state I was exposed for over 6 years to black mold. To make a long story short of course I sued...because the state refused to do anything about the black mold. As a result of the exposure I have been diagnosed with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). The black mold caused severe damage to my lungs and I was told that the only thing the doctors can do is maintain me...but I will progressively get worse...I have no idea how much time I have left but I am trying to make it count for something. As a result of years of medications and being on oxygen and constantly using a nebulizer...it has restricted my life outside of my house and I have become Anthropophobia (huge fear of people and society), I suffer from severe panic/anxiety attacks, and all this has led to me becoming very depressed. So I am searching for answers and a way to go on. I look forward to meeting new friends...and learning new things. My puter is my connection to the outside world....so I am always around!!!
PEACE!!!

Re: INTRODUCE YOURSELF

Hi,
My name is Elsie, I just found this site through one of my groups, I will remember you Ellie in my prayers, I just think I have problems till I look around me.
I am depressed but it is ok, it is over the job that I had went out of business, so no more paychecks scares me, since I am paying for a house.
I am 50 years old, widowed since 1993, lost my hubby due to COPD He retired from the AirForce, there he was stationed in Greenland, it was so cold that it damaged his lungs, it from there only got worse, he passed at 57. He was 20 years older then me, but a wonderful husband............
