Wishing I could give you a big hug right now. The ladies have all given you so much encouragement through sharing their own experiences. You will find a way to cope with all that you are faced with. We all know so very well that when people say to us "you are so brave" that we don't feel brave, we just have no choice, we do it afraid. We are here for you. It is good to talk to your GP or Specialist about anxiety and depression. I have too suffered from depression and anxiety all my life and have to say that the medication I am on is helping a lot with my mental state. I have also recently started seeing a psychologist and find the coping techniques we discuss very helpful. I want to encourage you to try doing things that takes your mind to a 'quiet' place, whether it be puzzles, art, reading a book, anything to lower your anxiety. I discovered painting while I was going through chemo and it has lowered my anxiety so much.
There is always hope, keep putting one foot in front of the other, we are here for you.
