Hi, my husband is in remission from cancer. He had a scare lately but is all fine and checked out. However for me the phycologial effect has really impacted me.
I have awful anxiety which has been dominating me. I feel stuck in my feelings, unable to let then out. . I know I'm so scared of loosing my husband and the trigger reminded me of everything we went through in treatment and how dcared i was then. but the feeling is stuck inside me festering as axiety. Any one feel the same? Any ideas how I might be able to express it.
Thevwordt thing is , im away a few days break with others and all I want do is go home. No one realises how scary it was to watch him.go through treatment. I wake up in the night full of fear. Awful.....
h5 of loosing him
Hi Kat55
So sorry to read about what you are going through, it does sound very difficult even given the recent good news re the scare.
I have struggled in the past and did a living with less stress course that really helped me. Learnt to focus on what we have now rather than trying to work out how I might cope without her; I was really quite good at disaster planning. The conscious breathing exercises were quite good too at helping me relax and when another scare comes along - well step back take a deep breath and then tackle what is here now.
Disturbed sleep really does not help, have you talked to anyone to see if you can get some help with that?
<<hugs>>
