Hi carolyn, have just returned from the 2nd national conference for woman effected by breast cancer. The seminar on anxiety and depression was very imformative but what was repeated often was how much a little exercise helped. Be realistic, set a goal even if it's accidental exercise (park car a bit further from shop and walk that bit more) reward yourself (I suggest chocolate,lol) , drink lots of water . Exercise-reduces fatigue and phycological distress, improves sleep and overall well being and helps bone density (quoted from Prof Suzanne Chambers) she also recommended relaxation and meditation.Also acknowledge when sad, its o.k.
I had a cd I put on my i-pod by Rick Collingwood. Hypnosis for cancer, I found it helped with sleep and actually took me 8 months before I even heard the ending as I dozed of before it finished. You need to listen to it every night for 6 weeks to start, if your interested in this and cant find it let me know as I may be able to help there. I hope this helps,Something else that was said was sometimes you have to look back (to were you have recently been) to be able to move forward. Good luck, were all here for you. Kaz
