Depression

Hi I am so sorry you are feeling like you do you need loving people around you to get you out of the depression, your daughter in law shouldn’t say things like that, can you go and stay with your daughter for a while , go to the doctors and explain how you feel or get in touch with Mcmillan they are very good at listening . Please get some help or come on here for help. Good luck.

Sorry you are feeling so bad. It's good to vent and here is the perfect place. I'm at the beginning of treatment but I have noticed a few posts from people who are struggling and feeling down after treatment is over. Maybe because it's such a rollercoaster and always something happening and then it stops and your notes seeing the doctors as often etc. I believe Macmillan do a day called moving on ?? For after treatment maybe that might be something to look into. I hope tomorrow you feel a bit better xxx

Thank you. 

Thank you. 

Hi ,

sadly when treatment finishes you do often feel a ‘let down’ time and not having understanding folk around that you can talk to when this happens hurts like mad. Don’t let it get to you, you’ve done nothing wrong, cancer is no respecter of persons! And do have a read of Dr Peter Harvey’s paper called something like ‘when treatment ends, what then?’ As it does explain feelings at the end of cancer treatments really well. Google it....

please seek help, phone the helpline (but that will need to be Monday I guess) and if it really does get to you call the Samaritans, they really and truly are there for folk at challenging times. Also please do keep in contact on here too, it’s not quite the same as talking one to one but it does help getting your feelings expressed.

sending you a big hug xxx 

Love , none of this is your fault. You had no control over how this effected you . You’ve done amazing. 
your daughter in law is stressed and didn’t know how her words would affect  you . 
women need to understand that this can happen to anyone of us so be thoughtful 

what I do know is depression hits hard and after you thought you’d done the hard stuff 

keep talking to the group 

we truly get it

lits if love and a big big hug
