Hi Josie I understand your feelings. I was very depressed when I got home from hospital after being admitted for several weeks when my pain was being managed and my radiotherapy was being done. I had to stay in hospital because I couldn't walk unaided for a coupe of months. Thankfully, that is no longer the case. I was also on the drugs that you are taking. I do think that they also contribute to the feeling of being overwhelmed and depressed but it does get better. I've found a good counsellor who advocates the practice of mindfulness and this has also helped me cope better with depression and anxiety. There's no magic bullet and it really is a day by day approach and giving yourself the time and space to acknowledge and accept what's now happening to you and your loved ones as a result of this crap disease but I always say don't let cancer rule.
