Support

Really sorry to hear you’re suffering sleepless nights but completely understandable.  I used the app Headspace to manage the anxiety and also help me sleep.  I still use it when I worry about cancer returning!  The doctor may prescribe some meds to help you sleep, which might help on a temporary basis.  But it’s trying to control your thoughts that’s the big issue! The fear is overwhelming at times, especially at night. 

I coped by taking control of the things that I could… planning things to keep me busy and that made me happy! Things to distract me and having a focus every day! Headspace helped me manage the panic…I bought the monthly subscription.

If you have a Maggie’s centre near you, they offer support too.  It’s about getting through the next week and you will be amazed how quickly you recover!
