Hi there
i didn’t take medication for my post breast cancer depression/anxiety but I did see a psychologist specialising in cancer related distress for a couple of sessions .
I am a naturally “ glass half full” person but after my mastectomy I had a lot of pain and was still on Endone 6 weeks after the surgery.
I had never taken painkillers before and I was thinking “ is this the new me?”
I found the sessions very helpful and actually after the first session the pain started to recede.
The best advice the psychologist gave me was that it was ok to cry .
Initially I cried so much and at such innopportune times ( like the supermarket checkout ).
I am now almost 2 years from my initial diagnosis and hardly cry at all now.
Take care🌺
