Since the news of my mastectomy I've felt inexplicably sad. An almost emptiness. People have sad to me that it is okay to feel sad, but I worry that it will not pass. I keep waiting for it to pass. In many tough times of I have always got to a point where I have dusted myself down and picked myself up. I'm still waiting for this to happen.
I've done research into the surgery. Scars and what things will be like. This hasn't helped calm my mind. I've listened to many podcasts to help build positive thinking and build resilience. I've talked to people. But in the lonely hours at night, I cry.
A reoccurring theme people keep saying is take each day at a time, I'm trying. Being one who has never done that before, that is hard.
I'm going to try and make a routine plan for the week ahead. Does anyone have any coping tips?
