Sleep Aponea making feel suicidal -lost all hope

41 years of age , had cpap for about a year, never got into a routine despite trying , recently having constant problems with machine and mask warping - mandibular device doesn't make any difference - I have had enough , Im barely able to do a days work , boring work that I hate and i just feeling like im going to doze off , I have to go and sleep in my car at work for an hour everyday - Ive got no reason to live , my life has fallen apart over the last 10 years

  1. I live in the UK , even if I do get used to cpap and start to feel better il be 42 or 43 , it robbed me of my 20s and 30s , I'm already planning ways to end my life anyway I've given up if got nothing left to live for

  2. @24hrtired I am so sorry you are feeling so exhausted and discouraged. Sleep apnea can be a complicated and overwhelming condition. Living with a chronic illness is about more than just physical symptoms. It also impacts how you think, feel, and act. For both patients and the people who care for them, mental health is a vital part of daily life. Have you considered talking to a mental health professional who can work with you to process how sleep apnea is impacting you? Your mention of suicide is seriously concerning, especially as you are facing the chronic stress of a medical condition. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (or visit https://988lifeline.org/). We care. Please let us know how you are doing. All the best, Kathy (Team membe
