Struggling to get motivated!

Aawww Hello Jane

So sorry to hear you are going through this awful illness. 

I'm not going through it myself it is my dad who is ill but I could relate so much to what you wrote. 

I'm really struggling too, have no motivation & some days I don't even want to get out of bed. We were told in June that my dad only had 6 months and now we are in October & it's like it's really hit me now that it's happening.

I don't have any words of wisdom I'm afraid I just wanted to let you know I understand what you said especially about not wanting to see friends but then being annoyed with them at the same time for not getting in touch.

I don't think there is a "correct" way to act just try to be kind to yourself and not too hard on yourself. You are doing much better than you think if you are doing the normal day to day stuff for your family. I'm currently on notebook number 4, none of them make any sense & I need another book to remind me to look at the others. I'm constantly planning things which never get finished. Today I'm proud I got out of bed & went for a walk.

Much love & hugs xxxxxx

Hello. Thank you so much for messaging me. 
I’m really struggling today. 
I’m sorry to hear about your dad, and that you’re struggling too. 
it’s so cruel. 
it’s good that your are writing things down though, that does help to clear my mind a bit, as I like to plan and be organised too. 
well done for going for a walk, I know how difficult it is. My mum just messaged me, and dragging me down the beach for a walk. 
lots love xxx 

Hi Jane,I’m sorry you are struggling today.I hope your walk on the beach helps.I don’t think there is a correct way to act,we all have to navigate our way through as best we can.Cancer changes things and it takes time to come to terms with.I’m quite organised to and found I was struggling with motivation.Whereas before I would have a long to do list these days I tend to stick to trying to achieve 3 positive things a day.I think it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when you have cancer.There are so many emotions to process.I don’t have any answers but I can empathise.Hoping tomorrow will be a better day for you,take care.Love Jane xx

Hi jane. 
the walk with my mum did help, thank you. I feel so overwhelmed and feel guilty for not seeing people, I constantly beat myself up. 
I will take your advice though thank you
