Hi Natalie
Keep venting here as it does help ! I have no friends living close and hubby is my only family so I can fully understand how you are feeling. Some ladies on this website were my support - thank you in particular to RobynW and Deanne.
Talk to your Breast Care Nurse if you relate to her. She may know of support systems around your area. I am not into groups but there may be a Breast Cancer Support Group near you if you think that could be an outlet.
Talk to your GP and ask for the 5 free counselling sessions under the Mental Health Care Plan. That way you can talk things through with an 'outsider' and not feel as though you are holding your family back. We all take different amounts of time to recover and accept our 'new normal'.
No-one really knows the physical or emotional pain involved unless they have been there so don't give yourself such a hard time. Come back and vent more as you need, don't let it build up within you.
Big hugs
Summer :-)
