I have been on my cpap a month now and it seems to be working fairly well. I am 33 years old and I find myself getting depressed about using this thing for probly the rest of my life.I think what about when I go camping.Or sleep over at a friends,just doing the normal things that I used to do. I mean if you have not seen someone in one of these things it looks pretty serious,you look like something from star wars or something.It is a hassle at my age to have to use this thing every night.My doctor has talked to me about this,but I just wanted to get some feedback from other people that have been through the same thing.I am thankful to have some relief now to my sleeping problem but I just do not like the fact that I may have to use this thing the rest of my life. I just don't feel normal anymore.Thanks for listening..
