All of which make it increasingly difficult to sustain any kind of relationship. Depleted energy makes it hard to keep up with children who are full of life and always on the go. Date nights and outings suddenly become undesirable and intimidating. Not to mention, libido becomes significantly decreased because the body is simply focusing on more pressing matters such as fighting off those foreign entities that made their way from the dusty china hutch and floor straight into to your lungs. Depression is another complication associated with respiratory illnesses such as COPD because it can affect your ability to do things that you enjoy. Doing something as simple as making your bed each morning can boost your chances of sleeping better considerably. When you sleep better, your mood and energy are also likely to improve, which will give you an opportunity to go out and do all those fun things that you and your partner or you and your friends have planned.
