I feel depression is a normal part of heart disease it’s such a big elephant in our lives it takes up a big amount of our time energy spiritually physical personal wellbeing’s all are effected its a big part of our family lcommumity and friends I often wonder if I’ll feel normal again when depression creeps into my life I have to remind the elephant that God and I see the the light so depression can come and go support is always needed for me in this journey the elephant he’s not allowed to get so big
I reach out as much as I can and my team of people family doctors and friends know when I need help and will reach in I now withdraw less and less because I trust the people in my life to smack me a good dose of truth love and reality
how we respond to people

I have AFib and a pacemaker that also helps my heartbeat become stable. I also have developed heart failure. My pacemaker doesn’t bother me. I would not even know I had a pacemaker if doctors weren’t always telling me.

Gayle48 thank you what you said is very true. Thank you very much

i do feel defeated too.i believe it is depression.

I had Afib and they found pulmonary hypertension during the ablation. No pacemaker….. but the way things are going for me lately…it will only be a matter of time. Hate feeling gloomy!!.
