Just had my sleep exam

I recently had my sleep exam and was diagnosed with a sleep apnea. The whole thing has got me pretty depressed. I have to go in for another exam to try out CPAP machines. Not looking forward to that at all!

Anyone out there going through the same thing, went through it, using CPAP right now? I know that a CPAP will help me sleep better, give me more energy, hopefully will better my health and will enable my wife to get a quiet night sleep. Yet, it is so hard for me to take that step. Maybe it is just hard for me to admit that I am not 21 years old anymore and not as healthy as I thought I was. Anyway, let me know if anyone out there is experiences something similar.

Thanks,

Amir
