re: Pondering Life With My Situation

Don't know what all testing you have had but there are multiple things that can cause chronic cough. Did you have Covid? If you haven't had gastroscope then need one along with swallowing study. Reflux can cause cough. See ENT, allergist, and pulmonary. Assume you are being treated for asthma and using inhalers. Make sure following directions on inhalers such as using spacer and rinsing mouth/throat after. Need complete allergy testing along with IgG,IgE. Chronic illness absolutely affects mental health and can be isolating. Find therapist that works for you and never too late to find someone to share your life with.
