It seems like most other people are healthy and I was born this way. It's depressing.I was born with a heart problem and have had many surgeries. I hate being like this. Advice?
You make of it what you can. Get involved in activities that don't involve a lot of physical stress. I too was born with congenital heart defects, as well as liver and thyroid ones, and my joy is writing and drawing. Bowling is my sport of choice.





You just have to live the life you have as well as you can. There's no way around it, so it's best to learn how to live with it.I was born with a heart problem and have had many surgeries. I hate being like this. Advice?

Not to sound trite but ';life is what you make of it';


It is your choice - whether you focus on the things that are wrong and what you can't do, or focus on all the great things and what you can do.





I blew my leg apart and was feeling sorry for myself until I saw people in physical rehab with no legs. It sure did put things in perspective for me.





Good luck, my friend, and make the most of your life.
I developed a heart problem and told my doctor: ';I will die with the heart that I was born with.';





No intervention.


No surgery.


No pig valve.





No code.

Realise that many many people are born with problems...





For example I have breathing problems... extra tissue in my nose and throat...





I always need antibiotics everytime I get infections with minor flu viruses while everyone else recover on their own...
My heart goes out to you. I have lived a long time, am a Gramma, and I have had lots of problems with physical and mental health, raising four kids and then helping raise some grandkids.......other problems too numerous and painful to mention. I do not like living this way either, but I have decided that I must make the best of it. God helps me a lot. Why not try God for yourself, give Him a chance? Do you have a Bible to read? I hope you will be able to invite the Lord Jesus into your life.......He will make a huge difference, He will be your best Friend,.
Know what to eat. And eat right. Don't forget to get the right amount of the right exercise. Most of all, love it the way it is.
Exercise makes the heart stronger. Start with low impact stuff, swimming is the best. Start slow.
be thankful you are alive!!!!!!!!!! be glad you are living and breathing and make every moment count! count your blessings.
Just remember, you're not alone.
Everyone will suffer a health crisis at some time in their life





You had yours from birth
jus be happy that ur alive


and member that God created you in his image.



Good for you.
