Hi Valerie. Lots of women seek psychological help and are helped immenselynby therapy and medication because depleting the body of estrogen can cause anxiety and depression seperately from the emotional impact of having cancer. And lastly. Are you taking Tamoxifen? That single pill can cause emotional issues. Sending hugs live and kitty kisses. 🫂💙😽🦋

I 100% understand how you feel. It's not like regular depression or where you actually want to do self-harm. I've been going through it. It's like a combination of sadness, fear, and mourning wrapped in a big blanket of being overwhelmed....constantly. I know this community is public, but private conversations would be so helpful for those of us struggling with "aloneness". I hope you understand what I mean.

Many of us struggled with that during our active treatment. In fact, breast cancer patients often continue to struggle with mental health afterward, too. Don’t be afraid to reach out for help!!

Thank you StaceyDee

Jenncookie yes you explained it perfectly. I don't want to do harm just the overwhelmingness of all this treatment pain appts possible surgery on top of life's other fun stresses life throws at us
