Anxiety, depression

Hi and welcome. What you are experiencing is perfectly normal. I can't imagine anyone not feeling anxious and sad and crying. (Although having said that some go into shock and run on autopilot).  These are normal responses to a very scary event and it's not depression..just a reaction. As time goes on you will start to accept this and can think more clearly. The calming medication will help short term but be very cautious with it's use as it can become highly addictive (as in not having it causes anxiety ) but for a day or so is fine. This will take some time to resolve so yes...keep seeing your counsellor to find ways to cope with the process and know that dcis is  treatable and has excellent results. Take care. Kath x
