Wow @NewBoobsPLS you have just described exactly what I’ve been through! 2 years of Tamoxifen & I nearly quit my career & left my husband to run away & live all alone, I couldn’t stand anything or anyone. Zero tolerance & angry with the whole world. 2 months off Tamoxifen & I’m like the old me, I am actually feeling great.
But the break is well & truly over & I start Letrozole tomorrow, I’m kinda anxious!
I was almost at the point to say no hormone blockers but the med onc wants me to try this. I wonder if it’s really worth the poor quality of life - hot flushes, mood swings, dreadful sleep & brain fog.

BUT I’ve also started using a hypnosis app for hot flashes which gives me great hope! And I’m in my 3rd week of using it & I’ve already noticed my flashes are less often & less severe. I think it’s also helping me be calmer & less anxious too. There are some really legitimate studies about the effectiveness of hypnosis and it’s also been shown to even help people who are sceptical (which I was until I started feeling better). I’m not even sure if it’s actually hypnotising me but at least it makes me feel more relaxed & more in control of my life. It’s called EVIA if anyone is interested.
Plus, I found the podcast by Dr Charlotte Tottman “Upfront about breast cancer - what you don’t know until you do” extremely helpful too. Even my husband listened to it & said it’s helped him understand what I’m going through & why I’m all over the place mentally & emotionally. These things give me so much hope.. maybe they can help you too
