I have tried on this forum to be careful to not talk about stuff on a level that gives away too much personal information, but what i had been through with this could apply to any number of people across the USA or around the world.

When I was mold sick I was mentally and physically hanging by a string, for a number of years, as I got sicker and no doctors would even acknowledge that mold could be the problem, plus I had a family member's sudden health issue to deal with.

I would wake up each day dreading having to go through the motions of being a human with a job, an illness, and then someone who loved me who needed my help, with nothing in particular to look forward to, I really and truly wished I could just die but suicide was not an option that I would actually act on.

I am amazed, honestly and very grateful, that my health did return and I can finish my life with the gift of not ever taking anything for granted.

I had to reply to your topic, because I will always remember what it feels like to have the thought, I have no hope, but I must go on.

I know many others here know what I am talking about, both with regards to mold and other reasons.
