REPLY TO ALL FEELING LIKE CRAP

Hey Nicole:):) I wish I lived near you and I could pop in and have a cuppa!! I would like to  suggest two things.The first been the use of your five free visits to access some counselling.Go to your GP and get him to arrange it for you.The fact that it is free is another less worry in itself.Secondly,you have to put some time aside for yourself.Even if it is only 20 minutes a day.You can just sit and do nothing,go outside into the fresh air and just walk a little,and try and concentrate on what is around you,rather than what is happening with you at the moment,and also,start a journal.I started one when I was having treatment,and I actually looked forward to writing in it every day.I just used an exercise book,and at the end of every day,when the rest of the house was asleep,I would get out my book and start writing!!!! I still write in it but just not every day any more.Not everyone would understand some of my feelings and frustrations that I have put down on paper,but the important thing is that I UNDERSTAND!!!Give it a go Nicole.You have nothing to lose,and sometimes just by concentrating on something else for a little while,you may find that momentarily you feel a tiny bit better:) Please stay in touch on here as you can see by the replies that the ladies on here are worried about you and want to support you.Take care Nicole .Robyn xox
