@2MC big hugs to you. I agree with what everyone else has said! That sort of news story is definitely a trigger, as are ill-advised ‘sharing’ by friends of cancer stories and review appointments (BCNA webcast).
Great you’re seeing a psychologist (best thing I did was to find a psycho-oncologist), getting out into fresh air and getting your exercise, plus beautiful you’ve a supportive partner.
Feeling down and vulnerable at times is super normal for anyone who has had BC diagnosis. I was really down the past week with all sorts of worries. I saw my radiation oncologist about a post radiation worry. He listened kindly and reminded me gently about fresh air and exercise helping mood. I went out for a walk afterwards and felt better.😊 I’m forcing myself out every day!
I’ve read that endocrine therapy can affect mood too, so that’s given me even more reason to get outside and exercising.
