I wish i could put into words how i feel right noe, in a way i feel like i am mourning the life i want and expected to be having at 24, i mean i sure never imagine at 21 i qwould get custody of my autistic nephew but that i could cope with becuase i had my health to get me through the rough days now i dont even have that, i look at others my age and i cant even relate because they always complain oh i have the flu or oh no i have an assignment i forgot to do becuase i went to the pub with friends well they shoudl be grateful they can even do those things, they are the things i should be doing. Iztarted cardiac rehab today and a 92 year old with a walking frame walked further than i did and i have 68 years younger please say i am not the onlyone that feels this way i feel like a cold hard old woman who is just nasty where did the loving sweet me go when did it all change and will it ever get better

No you are not alone. My son was diagnosed with heart failure when he was 15. The fun loving life he knew came to a screeching halt. It became a whirl wind of tests, doctors, and medications. He too feels older than his years. He misses his "normal" life but has learned these past 16 months to embrace each day and not look back. Does he miss his beloved hockey? You betcha! Give yourself time. What you are feeling is normal.
Hang in there!
