Thank you for reaching out in such a lovely way
I too am like you
anxiety, panic attacks
death and health anxiety before diagnosis
as a young child I knew I was different but never had it diagnosed properly so I spent lunch and recess or I’d excuse myself from class to have my panic attacks in the toilet
as an adult I found my best friend in the form of my husband
who helped me get on top of things
I have tried antidepressants (They were not for me)
Exercise, healthy diet and long talks with my husband got me into a better place
I feel like so many others probably that cancer has made those emotions so much more challenging
I wasn’t going to use a Psychologist every time a lady at chemotherapy asked until I realized late in the treatment that I really needed it
i got in just in time to start feeling positive again
but when it ended because my treatment ended I found myself going backwards
my GP has got me in to see another Psychologist
But being financially restricted I had to wait for a government funded one.
Sorry for my rant
in short Yes! I would love some extra information
always looking for new tools to control this terrible metal disease
thank you xx
