another day gone and still finding it hard to cope

1 minute read time.

its been a long day today. couldnt sleep last nite as mind was churning over stuff. woke up feeling like hell and exhausted.  was seeing my oncologist today, so big day, the usual worries about 'hope my bloods are fine' hope this and that..

anyhow got told my white cells are low so no chemo this week. he is going to review things next week. feel a bit worried as lots been going on since last week and I am sure its partly contributed to it all. also relieved as i am not in teh right state to m ind to have chemo. broke down infront of the oncologist teling him that i am really struggling and am worried i might not coping well. work issues, partner just left me, worries about new chemo treatment working...

 

got a lot of sympathy from him and he signed me off for 3mths, recommending i rest. hard one as yes i do need rest, but am so worried i might get depressed being at home, as i will start thinking about all sorts of stuff, esp my broken relationship and depress myself. still thinking about waht i want todo.

 

so tired now, but worried i might be able to sleep. bought myself some relaxation CD's. let you all know how these work.

 

good nite

  • Hi Jas,

    So sorry you have this added burden of your relationship breaking down. It is great you have a sympathetic doctor and you need time to heal emotionally. Try to find a focus for your day - get into a routine, because it is all too easy to slouch in front of the telly all day. ( I know - I'm an expert lol!)

    Best wishes,

    KateG

    jeeeze what kind of *&%*$  is your partner?? obviously your better off coping without him.... as if you havent got enough to cope with.... but i have found sinse comming on here ...its more common than you think.... and this may sound lame... but its not about you .... its about them being too selfish to, not be the main priority...... he probably would`ve dragged you down and you can do without that.....i know your  going through hell, but sleep helps you get your energy back... talk to your doc for something... and maybe even councilling good luck.... and ...(((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))

    So sorry to hear this, as if things weren't tough enough xx

    Hope you have some good friends that you can invite over - book the dates in the diary with the understanding that if you are not feeling that great you can re-schedule :) It's much more positive to have something to look forward to rather than waiting to 'see how you feel' :)

    Take care xxxxx
