I'm so sorry you are going through this. At 60, I too have lost my previous life. I used to be super busy: taking care of others, singing and being active in church, leading a writers group, writing a book, gardening, hiking - oh how I loved hiking. Now it is challenging for me to even write a post here or write an email. I can't even walk around the block some days. But your situation made me want to try and let you know that you are not alone. I too sometimes think I would just like to leave this life. Today is better emotionally though, thankfully. Sending long hugs.
I am so sorry that you're suffering so much. I am older than you are at 59, but I too, feel the person I was before covid in 2020 is gone. It's a very lonely feeling. I have not gotten much help, aside from trying nicotine gum when I could not tolerate nicotine patches and that did help. However serious issues remain for which there is no cure. Just letting you know you are not alone and that you are of value even if you are not able to do the things you used to do. I hope your new doctor can help.
