You can get a nasal pillow instead of a mask. Also, your cpap should have a water reservoir to prevent the drying out effects. It warms the water so you are breathing in moisturized air. I would try again. Untreated sleep apnea can shorten your life! Sleep apnea - Symptoms and causes - Mayo Clinic It's also related to bipolar.

Yeah I know all the risks. I tried the nasal pillow...it didn't work.

We tried everything, even the humidifier. It didn't work...

I might die early but I'm not trying the mask again...

I hated my cpap when I first tried it, too. I took the mask off and threw it across the room. But unless I used it at least 4 hours a night for so many days in one month, my insurance wouldn't pay for my cpap machine. The more you use it, the more you get used it it. It's not a normal thing to wear a mask. It can make you closterphobic. The more you use it the more you get used to a cpap. It's sad that you'd rather give up on trying and possibly die than use a full-face mask or a nasal pillow.

Can sleep apnea cause anxiety and panic attacks?
These panic attacks may occur during sleep or during the daytime as a lack of sleep can lead to fatigue and anxiousness. Sleep apnea does not only cause anxiety but also aggravates it. Lack of sleep can, in turn, increase panic attacks and symptoms of anxiety.

Have you tried a dental appliance for your sleep apnea?
