Exhausted

I know exactly how you feel. I want to sleep for a month. I’ve been considering ant-depressants too, but am apprehensive about them and also unsure if it’s a good thing for me to do. I feel like I should just give myself a bit of a shake and carry on. My husband was given 6-10 months back in June when he started chemo. In October the oncologist said that he is ‘stable’ and I didn’t feel relief - instead it was more like panic. I also don’t know what ‘stable’ actually means!

Yes quite - a stable situation of deep anxiety and depression. Exactly how I feel re anti-depressants. Have made an appointment at the docs fur next week so will talk to her then. They do make you v tired though, so don't know how I'd manage with caring duties and long drives for treatment....

Hello, I'm sorry to hear about your husband, and how you're feeling seems normal in the circumstances. It's a lot to deal with. I feel that lack of sunlight and little exercise isn't helping at the moment. Well, lots of extra work around the home and shopping but not as good as a nice walk or swimming etc. I'm drawing on some meditation and breathing exercises to try to relax my body and mind and escaping with a hot bath and relaxing music. Taking things hour by hour. Sending hugs x
