When all this started i stopped. Truly stopped. Stopped taking kids to school, making lunches, doing housework, cooking, being responsible for what everyone else was doing, working. I just concentrated on getting through it.
I started doing a few things i like doing. What a revelation.
I think its hit one of my children harder. Some people associate caring with having things done for them. Truthfully i want to mother them more sometimes.
Ive started to add some of the other stuff back in. Im being choosy. Ive had loads of time to dream up things i want to do and i cant go back to being last.
But is that why i got cancer? For years my hormones had not been right. Id go to the doctor about migraines and weight problems and anxiety and was told this is what its like in perimenopause. In the end i kindof gave up.
Well the migraines are gone. Im not rushing. The monthly roller coaster of emotion is gone. Presumably im in menopause. The cancer as far as i know is gone.
Change is hard. Even this morning as im eating the protein rich breakfast my dietician suggested im thinking to myself this is uncomfortable. Id rather eat what ive eaten most of my life. Do i have to upend everything?
