Mental health following dignosis

I was diagnosed with Grade1A womb cancer 2 weeks ago.

I have my hysterectomy date for 12 days time.

I am really struggling with my mental health, going from really anxious to depressed. I have been given medication for my anxiety, I haven’t taken it yet as I am trying to manage it myself. Mostly by walking and keeping busy. 

I just keep getting to the point where my mood crashes.I feel really really low and don’t know what to do with myself. 

I have been off work since the diagnosis, I work in a hospital and could not even go into work. 

I know I’m not the only one going through this, but it feels like it a lot of the time.

How do others cope? Any advice would be lovely.
