Please help with ideas. I have been diagnosed with a rare aggressive type of ovarian cancer. Tonight I am panicking. I worry about leaving my husband behind and I worry about the future. I cant sleep, I am crying constantly, I feel I cant cope. Tonight i feel so overwhelmed with everything.
Hi Jay2025
Hope you perhaps are feeling a little better today.
My wife has Leiomyosarcoma - also a rare form of cancer her's coming, probably, from a fibroid that went cancerous.
Something I found really helpful was when I did a living with less stress course. A key part of that was learning to live day to day and really notice the positives rather than thinking about what could go wrong. Part of that was coming to realise I really had no control over the future and that I was able to imagine things much worse than reality. In addition to this we learnt some conscious breathing skills that were good when live decided to throw us another curveball but are also good in helping me relax and get some sleep.
<<hugs>>
Steve
