Feeling low today. Just come out of hospital with a full. Blown blockage in my stoma. that’s sorted now but struggling with mental health due to the cancer. All treatment has stopped. Some days I’m fine others it’s hard to keep going Perhaps it’s the weather. Missing my mum who passed two years ago. She was always with me through all my four cancers. My husband is my rock. Just saying ️

Hi Whinnie, I am sorry to hear about you feeling low . The weather definitely doesn't help at all but when this weather passes the sun will come out. I lost my Dad 3 years ago and 16 weeks later lost my Mom, its hard isn't it? When you are feeling ill you just want your Mom no matter what age you are. I am glad you have your husband, my husband is my rock too, don't know what I would do without him. Just to let you know we are all here for you. I am sending you hugs.

Hi Whinnie, so sorry you're feeling down. Perfectly understandable though. I've been feeling down as well. I do try and remember and be grateful for all the wonderful things in my life, but it's hard isn't it. I've recently been started on antidepressants, so hopefully they will kick in soon.

Sometimes I think it's actually OK, to not be ok. To just sit with those feelings and acknowledge them. It's a process though, and what works for one person, may not work for another.

I do know that masking is actually exhausting. It takes a lot of energy maintaining the illusion that you are coping.

There is support out there, and on here to.

Sending you love, light and peace. x
