No

It shouldn’t be this hard

I can’t breath- I try and I try but I can’t.

Deeper and Deeper the breath goes I still can’t catch it

I’m not sure how much longer I can do this.

No matter what I do, it’s just not good enough.

Why isn’t it good enough.

Am I not good enough?

Not good enough to fulfill a deep breath?

What is wrong with me?

I try and I try but nope.

Upgraded for a newer model. A new supply.

I have an inhaler- why isn’t it working. What did I do wrong?

I just want to breath. Why is that so difficult to ask?
