catcatanzaro60 I have great news! I finally got my disability and take a higher dose of Prozac. I haven't felt suicidal since June 2019. It has been wonderful. I still feel so tired all the time. But it could be that I have COPD. Now I have to take inhalers and such. It makes you tired too. I am sad about that and working to do better. It will be four years in Nov. no smokes. I haven't had Pneumonia in four years either! I have excepted the new me! You guys kept me from the worst. I will never forget this group.

Hi, @catcatanzaro60 - good to hear you got the disability status you'd wanted. Also, sounds like your mood and perspective on the world has changed quite a lot in the last 8 months or so, for the better.
Glad to hear the group here has also been helpful to you in your journey.
Here are a few places on Connect in addition to this thread and the Depression & Anxiety group where you might be interested in sharing some of your relevant health journey as well as helping support others:

What kind of pneumonia have you had, @catcatanzaro60? Do you have a definite diagnosis with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)?
