Anyone currently dealing with CHF?

I am doing a project based on CHF and was wondering if a few of ya'll could help me out. I'm trying to gather evidence on a more personal level versus strictly what I'm reading online to make it more about people living with the condition versus strictly the pathophysiology of it. Thank you in advance and here is what I've been sending out to people in regards to the project:

Hello! I am a senior nursing student currently enrolled at Texas Christian University. As part of my curriculum, we have been asked to research various chronic conditions and as a result, we will produce evidence and information to help enable us to raise more awareness for those of you currently living with a chronic condition on a day-to-day basis. I have chosen to research CHF and was wondering if a few of you could take the time to answer a few questions for me and to help me learn about the condition on a more personal level versus strictly reading articles online. Your responses will remain completely anonymous in my final project and thank you in advance for helping me learn about CHF and new ways to help develop awareness.
1. What kind of impact has CHF made on both you and your family?
2. What is it like to live with CHF?
3. What are your feelings/emotions towards CHF?
4. What coping strategies/mechanisms do you partake in?
5. What is one thing that you wish people would realize about CHF?

Don't know anything CHF, from a personal stand point. Have relatives living with it. Can give you TONS of information on PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome), Obstetric Fistula (in the developed world), and various mental health conditions should you need information on any of those topics.

Thank you for your feedback! I unfortunately don't need any info on those specific conditions today but if I need some in the future, I'm going to keep you in mind
