Ive had 4 operation for vin3 vulva cancer. Im coping fine with healing process. It's my mental health which im struggling with, iam going to talking-therapies, but im always feeling on edge, anixety every day. Im due to go back to work on 23rd February. How do you cope with these anixety, panicy, worrying emotions. Any coping advice i would appreciate it very much.
I fully sympathise with you there as my mental health was in overdrive. I take Sertraline to keep me calm but otherwise it is just deep breathing and watching calming apps to help. If you aren’t ready to return to work yet then try not to, but it could take your mind off worrying. Sending calming vibes x
