I have had PD now since 2012.I feel like a shell of who I once was Pd is very intimidating, depression is hard to shake most days.I feel as though I have no purpose
Pearl,
What you express is not uncommon for PwP’s of which I am one for the last 3 years. It does not get much better in my opinion. You do have a significant purpose. You will find it. Your honest expression of helplessnessyou have pd or someone else? your response not encouraging to say the least.lolI feels as tho I have an expiration date attached to me.I never really dealt with my diagnosis I feel as tho it hits me in the face every morning and it's taking over my life piece by piece
Hi
,
You certainly are not alone, I want you to know that! Are you receiving any treatment for depression or have you talked to your doctor about it? I thought this article may have some helpful things for you: https://parkinsonsdisease.net/living/depression-coping. From your other post, I know you’re also looking for a support group near you. I hope you’re able to find one. Please also know we are here to provide virtual support anytime.
Warmly,

That is understandable. Have you had any luck finding an in-person support group near you yet?
