On dialysis for 3 years now.
29M. I was diagnosed with ckd stage 3 around 4.5 years ago and almost 3 years ago my kidneys gave up on me completely, I've been depressed and on dialysis since. I had to quit my job and move back to my parents house to be a burden on them. My dad is retired from a government job and he gets a pension so that's how my dialysis and meds are paid, my mom is willing to donate me her kidney but it costs so much to get a kidney transplant. I used to draw and play sports and go trek in mountains but now it's like I never had hobbies or any skills. I can't remember myself doing anything except be in bed all day and doomscrolling on my phone. I've distanced myself from my friends and relatives, I don't leave the house except when I need to go to the hospital for dialysis. I'm living in a brain fog, I try to learn new skills but I'm not able to focus or pay attention to anything. I'm losing my will to live day by day cuz idk what to do anymore, living like this is hell. I was suppose to support my parents in their oldage but instead became a burden on them. My dad looked so young and kept himself in shape even after turning 65 but now in just 3 years he looks so old because he keeps worrying about me, so does my mom. I just don't know what to do anymore.
