This has been the hardest part.
Since moving and attempting to settle here has been so difficult. There's been problems with the car too which doesn't help.
My symptoms are worse than ever and I am struggling to get through the day. I am exhausted as soon as I wake up. I feel sick and bloated and just so rubbish. I cry constantly and just feel so hopeless. I know it will get better but it just feels to overwhelming, I think it just hits every day that I have/had cancer.
Cancer.
At 22.
And there is no reason why.
And I feel so selfish feeling this way because I know I've got in relatively easy compared to others, and as much as my body with take a long time to settle, I know that I have a life ahead of me. I just feel so low.
I am hoping that this tidal wave of depression eases soon, and that counselling will help. I just feel like it is endless sometimes, and I just want to be normal again.
