Post treatment - feeling low emotions

Hi Sherbs, 

I had my surgery Oct, Rads in December.,

I try to stay positive and I think people around me assume it’s all done and I am a warrior and alls good now. It’s not, my emotions are up and down and I’m trying hard every day to not let this define me but I’m struggling, I joined the gym and it’s helping, I do light yoga ( I did before and during treatment) which helps but staying positive when my physical body of dragging behind me is exhausting. I use a meditation ap  (insight timer) when I can’t sleep, there is something for everyone and this helps when my mind doesn’t want to switch off. 

I feel you, you are not alone in this.

Thank you for replying. It’s nice to know I’m not alone with the emotional rollercoaster! 

Hi Sherbs , you’re not alone there are lots of us here who have found it hard to adjust to our new ‘normal’ and to cope with the loss of our previous lives. And while those around us sometimes think our treatment has finished so it’s business as usual, in reality we are still ‘in treatment’ if we’re on hormone therapy! I’m on Anastrozole and have a variety of side effects, none pleasant but more bearable for me than risking not popping the pills. 
Great suggestions from Harrigoose . Walking has been my sanity saver. 
There’s also an article I have found very useful , you may have seen it already but I’ll post the link just in case. And sending a big virtual hug your way xxx
