I have had my 6th chemo session and should be relieved BUT depression has kicked in from nowhere! I can't sleep, I cry to the point of hysteria and just can't control myself. I have pain from other health issues which I can usually cope with but it's now overwhelming me.  Zoom therapy doesn't really help. Has anyone experienced this inexplicable feeling of hopelessness and that the feeling of I don't want to carry on is almost overpowering?  I don't believe I would give up as I have a loving and supportive family and I wouldn't do anything to hurt them. It would hurt them just telling them how emotional I am.  I am waiting for CT scan results and then radiotherapy but am scared about the future.

    Thank you Debbie for your kind words. I am sure we will all start to benefit from the eading of restrictions. Mind you I can't wait for that first cuddle and second etc from the family and friend.

  • I’m right there 2 xxx I’ve been reading these posts & this is how I’ve been feeling 4 a long time trying to deal with it in my own way but it’s not going away so I’ve sent an online request to see my GP as well xxx 

  • Hi . This is so weird - I'm normally so upbeat and make light of everything but yesterday I had a meltdown and couldn't stop crying - it came out of nowhere and TBH it quite shocked me. Perhaps I'll give my GP a ring too. 

    Big hugs and Happy Easter to all, Barb xx Hugging

  • It’s the over thinking that’s getting me down but when we reflect back we’ve all been through so much and we’ve had to deal with a pandemic on top of it xxx I don’t know we’re I’d be without the support on here xxx 

  • Hoping you’re feeling a bit better. I was chatting with my counsellor today and she hit the nail on the head. We’re going through the grieving process, for the life we had before cancer and it’s very much normal to be sad, angry & cry one day, then feel so different the next.  Keep your chin up my lovely x
