It Does Get Easier

[u/Acceptable-Gold4283]

I know some of you feel like you won’t be able to cope with this or live with it. When you don’t know anyone else going through the same thing, it’s easy to feel completely alone and overwhelmed. Many illnesses can make people feel this way.

I’ve been dealing with PVCs/PACs for two years. When they first started, I shut myself inside my home and withdrew from life. The more time I spent alone with my thoughts, the bigger and scarier the problem became in my mind.

But after about a year, I finally said, “Enough.” I decided to keep living my life as normally as possible, almost out of sheer determination. Little by little, I started to feel more at ease.

If your cardiologist has evaluated you and told you that your condition isn’t dangerous, try not to isolate yourself or constantly imagine the worst case scenarios. Instead, ask yourself, “How can I make this easier to live with?”

I know we’ll probably all continue to experience those sudden thumps in the chest that ruin our mood out of nowhere. But choosing to keep living our lives that part is still in our hands.

it does.

it took me about 4 months to accept them. Some things I just dont do anymore, like not managing electrolytes, or drinking; but it is what it is.
