I have a rare congenital terminal lung condition, not caused by smoking. i can't even go to bed anymore without going tachycardic, and even the most basic shit imaginable has become a chore in and of itself. according to my doctor, there is no cure, and at best, they can only guess what it is or is not going to do. since the fev1 number is well into very severe (25 - 30%) territory, my prognosis is close to shit at this point.

and yet, nothing makes me happy anymore. i'm just tumbling around waiting for my day to come, and i have no happiness anymore in anything i do. i don't want to subscribe to the lifestyle bullshit of today, i still have standards, so i feel like i'm completely lost. i've been doing some estate planning and getting to know god. and even then, i'm not even doing this for myself, so much as for others. just feels sad

No kids, I do want to find a wife, but it's super hard finding one these days who isn't a rabid cunt, and even harder finding one who would ever agree to date me with such a shitty diagnosis

Haha, this exactly. I feel for your predicament. But have you ever considered looking up a natural healer. Aye i am talking nature medicine. If you can find someone others have gone to and can recommend.. The medical system is not really here for our benefit..

I mean what do you have to lose? In anycase you can maybe find something you didnt know about. And if you find hope, well people have been healed by less.

I went on a one date, and she complained I didn't bring her out to some fancy place, and decided to cook at home. She wanted me to "show her off" in public, as if she's some kind of revered prize. I just felt completely hurt honestly, because a relationship is about two people loving each other, not what some fuck bags in public think about you.

Get some medicinal mushrooms like reishi, cordyceps, even psilocybes. Start writing, or doing something creative, If you haven't.

Get your hands on the ivermectin. Can't hurt. Black seed oil, turmeric.

Cut out all the sugar and carbs.

I think getting to know God is the most important thing for leaving the flesh prison, so you are on the right track.

I hope you can go over with courage and optimism. Maybe things will be better afterwards.

Seek God only in Christ. Read some of the Puritans.

You sound like most of us. We are all dying from something. By being the experienced one and vocal about it you are able to provide leadership in how to overcome it.

Take some time to revisit some things that made you happy in the past. (movies, puzzles, reading, history, bible, etc)

I like to watch older movies that I liked and usually that might spark some motivation to go do something that you enjoy. Usually keeping your living area clean will keep your mind clear and you'll be more motivated to do something enjoyable without worrying about other shit. You sound like you're overwhelmed with your current situation.

As for your health, I'd recommend you do your best to keep your spirits up and stay as healthy as you can with diet and any activity. Even if it's not physical based on your condition, like playing chess or learning how to fix shit. I guarantee if I walk into your house I could find 10 things right away for you do.

Stay alive my brother. We need you.

Give your lungs some exercise, play some digeridoo for like 10min a day. Stay at it awhile. Won't help the underlying condition, but can help with your symptoms. Maybe even improve your fev1.

Heart and lungs are a team, be as good as you can to both.

Get some supplemental o2 for @ night, again won't help with underlying, but keeps your sao2 normalized and you non tachy.

Get RIGHT with God. Find some enjoyment in life, maybe find some for other people if you can. Kids especially.

You're on the wounded list, gtfo off voat, dont involve this political bs in your life, you got a pass. Low stress, doctors orders.
