Is that a good thing that you haven't heard from your sister?? ;) Sometimes, dealing with rellies can be tricky, too! xx.
Good on you, @cactusk - re helping with anxiety - Just try not to get ahead of yourself .... try & deal with stuff going on RIGHT HERE & NOW .... it is called 'mindfulness' .... concentrate on current stuff, not worrying about next week or next month (difficult tho it is!) as you don't really have any control over that just now & it can be upsetting!
Try getting out (if you are up to it) and doing something that you LOVE doing normally (so long as it isn't too strenuous that may interfere with your healing/recovery - or swimming! ;) ....)
Better still - give the Helpline a bell TODAY (last day until early next year, I believe!!) 1800 500 258 .... they will be able to talk you thru it xx
Yep, take plenty of deep breaths and take each day as it comes, each hour, if need be xx. You can do this.
Maybe Curl up with a good book .... have a cool shower (instead of the swim ....) and check out some of the good shows on Netflix ....
take care & all the best xx
