So true @Dory65, you sound the same as me. Always so proudly independent, with a I-can-def-do-this-alone attitude. It took years to finally start seeing a psychologist for my panic attacks a couple years back. Admittedly, it also took a few tries to find a good psychologist, but I’m SO happy with the one I have now. She’s also free through the Kinghorn in Sydney. I’m kicking myself for not asking for one years back, and also thinking could I have avoided getting the cancer if I had. But useless to dwell on the past, so I focus on my psychological and emotions wellbeing now as much as my physical. Also realising I am just as strong as ever, but also human, and def need this help. Plus I need to rest more than before while I recover from surgery, radiation, hormone therapy etc. None of this makes me weak, it’s actually making me stronger and I feel sooooo much better and happier than I have in the last 10 years. I just hope it continues, and I hope we all recover from whatever shit phase we’re going through in this breast cancer spin cycle 🍀❤️
P.S. You are definitely winning. It may not be very obvious now, but you are winning 👊🏻💪🏻😊
