Mild anxiety
I went to see councillor to see how i am trveling with everything, she told me i hve mild anxiety which i guess doesn't surprise me. I am finding that as the days go by i am retreating into my shell...
Well congratulations on having only mild anxiety: that is an achievement or a strength right there. I can't think of anyone who wouldn't have anxiety with bc: so give yourself permission to have it, and thankfully in my experience it does move on and get better and then comes back and so on. I forget my prognosis percentage but a year later I'm mostly in the positive space but also its ok when I find myself in the life threatening -uncertainty part of the picture. i agree with above posts about helpful things but also it takes time to adjust to this and I can relate to wanting to 'bunker down' too.
