My life is falling apart.

I think I might have copd or lung cancer. I quit my job working with kids because I kept getting sick. The last sickness did me in and aggravated my lungs permanently. I'm trying to quit smoking. I used to have a career in hotels. I could be (and have been) a front desk manager/gen mgr. But I end up quitting every job because of either stress or people causing me issues. I moved back in my parents a few months ago. I don't feel like I can work anywhere now because I'm constantly coughing violently. I don't want to annoy or worry my parents. So if I feel a major cough coming on, I'll just go take a drive. I don't have any money saved up. I just know even if I do find a job, something will happen like it always does and I'll quit. I'm 46 years old. Still far from retirement. I've been working since i was 17. I'm so burned out on working. I just want to give up on life. I feel helpless and useless
Please do not lose hope. Have you been visiting your doctor regularly?

I've been to the doctor, but not for this yet. When I went to urgent care for the sickness, that doctor said he thought I might have copd, so if my cough doesn't go away in a week or so. I'll see my regular doctor.
@swandfriends my ex girlfriend had COPD but she was a long time smoker. But you know what, it can be taken care by the medical professionals.
The symptoms of lung cancer vary case to case. But the common thing is getting blood in the cough and weakness always.

Maybe your coughing is aggravated by your living conditions. Dust, or too dry, or too humid. If too dry, try a humidifier, if too humid, a dehumidifier. If you can figure it out, you could maybe look at moving somewhere that has your "fix". Try to think positive thoughts always.
A holiday in the tropics might help. Take a moped or bicycle South, see how far you get.
