Up, then down
Hi ladies, I don't know what happened. 3 days ago I posted that my hair was cut and I went out with my scarf, all was good. I was 'owning it'. Now it's 3.30am and I haven't been able to get to sleep....
Thanks to all you lovely ladies, I took myself off to my GP yesterday and I told him my woes. He prescribed a light sleeping pill, so I have caught up with some much needed sleep. He asked me if there were any triggers that might have set my depression off, my first thought was 'dah, maybe the cancer'. On reflection, over the past few days I have been filling in my family history for the genetics testing forms I received. It's a sad read, my grandmother losing 4 daughters to breast cancer, one of which was my mother. Then there is my sister, however she is still going strong after her op 17 years ago. Then I realised I have my LGFB tomorrow, and the posts of the ladies who had a disasterous time at their workshop came to mind. These 2 issues may have been triggers. And yes, I believe the hair loss does say 'cancer'. I'm going to pick myself up and dust myself off and carry on. All of you ladies have helped immensely with your comments and support and for that I'm thankful. Back to my 'one day at a time' mantra and hopefully I can stay on track.
