How did you cope before your CPAP

Dark circles under my eyes, never was a morning person, used to zone out at work (not actually fall asleep, just veg)

You know, now that you mention it.... I look back at a few years ago and I thought that was what was wrong with me..... I was dating this one guy and I was really in "love" (is there really such a thing?) anyways... he just up and left me one day and never came back... I didn't even see it coming... And yeah, I was upset and depressed by it... but kept telling myself to shake it off.... sure I still think of him but not on a daily basis like I use to.... ok... wait, I had a point here..... I would feel like not getting up, not having enough sleep, I would feel myself stopping to breathe (actually, I would realize it after I would gasp for air), I would hear myself snore too. You know, this is the only online forum or place where I can actually admit to snoring.... (Ladies just don't snore, you know...... HA! ) But, this year is when I finally thought of it as a problem. When I was falling asleep behind the wheel while driving and falling asleep at work while trying to work.... not good!! I am a single mom, and all I kept thinking was... "What would happen to my monsters if something happened to me?" Told the doc to increase my meds for my thyroid and he said no... that was just fine and then I told him why and he told me to get the sleep test done and the rest is history.... HERE I AM!! Aren't you all lucky to get to know me now?
