i've had severe depression since having an asthma attack & being diagnosed with mild persistent asthma. it sounds silly because it is mild but i was told that even though my asthma is mild it could still kill me, i have been taking my inhalers but also crying non stop at the slightest sign of breathing problems. i cant stop thinking about death and how my family needs me and how they would be sad if i died. i also have had occasional thoughts about how i would rather die in other ways than from asthma, or that i am doomed to die from an asthma attack. i cant get rid of the depression, it and the asthma are eating me alive
Hallo,
Es ist wirklich schade, dass Sie so sehr leiden. Ich habe Asthma und muss den lila Inhalator und den blauen Inhalator verwenden. Ich habe auch eine Notfallpackung mit Antibiotika und Steroiden, falls ich einen schweren Anfall habe, denn wenn er unbehandelt bleibt, verschlimmert er meine Bronchialprobleme, die ernst werden können, wenn sie nicht kontrolliert werden.
Allerdings kann es unter bestimmten Bedingungen tödlich sein, aber es ist immer noch sehr unwahrscheinlich, solange es frühzeitig erkannt wird.
Versuchen Sie, sich nicht zu viele Sorgen zu machen, denn Angst könnte einen Anfall auslösen. Mit der Zeit werden Sie sich besser in der Lage fühlen, mit Asthma zu leben, so wie es viele hunderttausende jeden Tag tun,
Mike.
First of all we are human beings and we all have to die one day. Secondly there is no hard and fast rule that you will die of an asthma attack. How we will die only God knows. Thirdly and most important stop thinking about death and live each day well. By thinking that you will die soon you are only making yourself miserable and depressed. You then will be wasting your life away. Life is too precious and you are not so badly off when compared to others in worse condition.
Hi, I have severe asthma and have had plenty of attacks over the years and I'm still here.
It's horrible having asthma, struggling to breathe is a scary thing. It's hard I know but try not to worry about it as you could bring on an attack.
It's treatable if Caught early on. The thing I learned the hard way. I made myself worse a lot but putting off calling for an ambulance as felt I was wasting their time...I wasn't! I was actually told off for not calling sooner on many occasions. Sometimes it's just a case of the paramedics giving you a nebuliser.
I have my own nebuliser at home as mine is pretty bad. I was diagnosed 7 years ago and was so scary to begin with and still Is now but it does get easier. You learn to live with it. You will be fine, do you have an asthma nurse? If not it might be worth looking into. Mine is great. They will explain everything to you and answer any questions you have. Don't think you're silly because you're not. It's not a nice thing to have but like I say it's not the end of the world and it will get easier to handle.
Hope this helps xxx
