Its a lot to deal with at such a young age. I have nearly 10 years on you but had my ovaries out in September so I am going through menopause now at the age of 38. My advice going through all of this is to cry and let it out when you need to. I found the chemo drugs made me more emotional so I decided to see a psychologist. Best thing I ever did. getting the emotions I was feeling off my chest was a saviour. The 4 sessions I had led me to meditation which I find really soothing. I recently discovered the headspace app which is 10 mins of mediatation a day. I would also recommend (where possible) resting when you need to. Don't feel guilty just listen to what your body needs. I also recommend walking or a light form of exercise when you can. The fresh air helped my mind and body. It's a tough road for a while. I am 7 months post treatment and feeling really good. I only get a few hot flushes a day now from the menopause. Not sure how I got so lucky, I think it is a combination of eating well and exercising and taking a few supplements.
I hope this was helpful.
