Hello puddy. I think getting that diagnoses is pretty tough to get. It took me 3months before I told my family in 2014. There are people on this site that have had it for alot longer than me. I now have 4 lung conditions. COPD, severe asthma , bronchistasis and Mycobacteria Avium Complex. I keep plugging away though. I started out with mainly inhalers , then moved to nebulizing as my conditions progressed. I started exercising to keep my body and mind strong . I researched my conditions and ask questions to my Drs. I continue to slowly decline, but I continue on. I learned to listen to my body. It's a tough road to go down, but I am still on the road.It' s ok to be depressed and anxious. Maybe counseling would help you. Talk with your doctors.Try to stay as healthy as you can. I also remind myself when I have a pity party that there are people out there in the world who have a harder life than me. Keep going.

Thank you for your reply, spinsister. I've just returned from my first session with a counsellor, and I can see it's going to help. Thank you so much again and God Bless.
