Wellbeing support for carers

Hi Vic2025 welcome to the forum..Well done for thinking about you keeping well. All too often Carers forget about themselves and without the Carers people couldn't be properly cared for..Do you have a Maggies Centre anywhere near you at all as Maggies offer Counselling and I'm sure they would see you. The other way to go would be through your GP and ask to be referred for Counselling, though sometimes there is a wait. Or you could pick up the phone and give the Macmillan Line a call 08088080000. They have people there who can listen and maybe direct you to local sources of support. It does sound like it will be helpful for you and talking with someone else is always good.. I hope you get something fixed up soon. Best Wishes for now Gail

Just need to talk please anyone  

Hi lovely. My sister was just diagnosed with triple negative BC and I think I feel the same. I feel so alone. We lost our mum 6 years ago to a rare, aggressive lung cancer and my sister an I are inoperable, yes we fight briefly etc. But we are the same age by 2 years 

Since she was diagnosed  I've seen another sister that we don't really speak to want to be involved  she's turning up for appointments etc. Im so angry because I am the sister who speaks everyday, goes on holidays, have sound practically every day with her. But my sister who has BC seems to be lapping up this new attention from our other distant sister and almost excluding me. I feel bitter, alone, angry, scared and upset and also very, very selfish because I k own its not about my feelings, but I can't shift this awful sad amd loneliness.

I hope you are okay and find some support. I'd be happy to listen etc if you needed anyone.

So sorry you are going through this. If I get further with finding some practical support I'll come back and share incase helpful to you/others. Stay strong and thank you for responding. X
