Meltdown

Hello XBREEZEX,

I’m so sorry you are having such a difficult time.  Sometimes a good cry can really help as it can act as a bit of a release. I have to admit I screamed into a pillow the other day as everything just got too much! Try not to expect too much from yourself at the moment - maybe just take one day at a time (or even one moment at a time).  I am very new to this admittedly but I have tried to not push myself to feel more cheerful as sometimes it is just not possible.  The fact that they can treat you is a positive and hopefully once you have your treatment plan, this will help you. In terms of actual coping strategies - I am trying to meditate and also focus on breathing exercises.  There is a great app called Breathwrk and they have a lot of helpful advice on social media as well.  Is there someone in the team at the hospital you can talk to?  Or a local cancer support group near you?

sending you a huge calming hug.

Thankyou for your msg. Was the first proper cry I have had since I was told as just been trying to hold it all in,have been tearful but not like this morning. I'm going to do the "take one moment "&hopefully build on that. I know it is,a positive that they can treat it but knowin that&it can't be cured just was a shock. And your right I saying once I get a treatment an in place I think I will feel alot better than I am now. I do have a local Cancer charity that does counselling amongst other things as I went to them before so will go&see them again. I will also take a look at the app you mentioned as I will try anything to stop feeling this way. Thankyou again.X
