Loss of interest in things

Thank you for all this.

Thank you so much for that reply. That is exactly how I'm feeling. One day I was me and the next total confusion panic and We will all cope in our own way definitely but until you hear those words  and your  world collapses then it's is down to you to get through it. No matter how much people want to help it is down to us to be strong and get through it day by day.

Thank you so much for explaining this so beautifully. I've been mulling it over & just re read it - so gonna blub AGAIN! Everything resonates but to see it written down so eloquently makes things more concrete (which is a good thing) & validated but soooo sad too. 

It's hard to let the girl you were go (even if, for me, quite a lot of her won't be missed & was well passed her sell by date anyway) whilst still holding on to & letting in the people & things that properly matter. 

Think it's going to take time for everyone to see how this new stage is going to work & to build the confidence & trust to let it work.

Thank you again.

I have just finished reading this and found it very helpful. I have been a bit low since finishing radiotherapy for breast cancer. I am extremely fortunate to have been diagnosed early and had successful surgery , I anticipate a full recovery so why should I feel like this? This article really hits the nail on the head and I will return to it again I’m sure , thank you for sharing.

Hi I’m new to the whole online forum community. I was diagnosed with triple negative BC at the end of 2022, had surgery, followed by chemo then radiotherapy all of which finished in August 2023. It was hard going but I managed with lots of help and support but the last few months seem to have been harder as I just don’t feel like the old me anymore, not as much get up and go, lack of interest in things, etc., and worry about what the future will bring. But having read the posts on this forum especially those from WhatHappened, including the article by Dr Peter Harvey, I now realise how I’m feeling is quite normal and I really do have to take it a day at a time and be kind to myself.  Thank you.
