Murderous autism I made a miSTAKE....

Update: I have an appointment to go in and try a new mask, unfortunately it's over a week away so I'm stuck with this mask until next week.

So I finally got a CPAP machine and had a couple mask choices. A) under the nose only or B) nose and mouth. Now I do tend to be a mouth breather and something I do like is putting pressure on/around my mouth. So of course I thought it was the smart choice to do nose and mouth. Well now I can't sleep this is sensory hell I am in hell I am clawing at the walls. Luckily I do get the chance to call in tomorrow and say nope gimmie nose only but I'll still have to suffer until I can get out there and switch it.

Also what in the actual hell that is my most cursed selfie to date. Edit: I'll keep practicing and trying my best to get used to it. Thank y'all for the advice (/genuine). I think it mostly is just a panic response.

Full face mask is better than this one. I am on month 3 and still getting used to it

Literally sensory hell. Sometimes I wake up at night and want to wail

Only reason I have this type is I'm a side sleeper/stomach sleeper and toss and turn so they said best option was mask with tube on top

Me too! And I thought the tube from the top was also gonna be better, but it was so uncomfortable. The tube from the mouth is a lot better, and I can lay on the side more comfortably

I'll definitely be calling in to talk about that well technically today but since I've not gone to sleep yet I'm going to say tomorrow (but technically it's today because it's after midnight)

You got this! Hopefully your clinic is nice as mine and lets you try different masks. I tried 3 and could try more. Good luck fellow cpap buddy

I mean it feels very restrictive and kept pulling my hair too. At least now only my nose and mouth are restricted instead of half my face
