Depression over Mets

Of course you're not  loopy. Gosh it's hard enough coming to terms with an initial diagnosis never mind twice then mets. I don't  know anyone who wouldnt feel depressed. My pets have been with me in this journey. If I had a lay down it would not be unusual to wake up with 3 cats on me and a dog by my side. They were my guardians. I lost my guniea pigs at the start of this journey and still feel  guilty  prepping  veg and  not  sharing. I had to move the  empty cage as it broke my heart seeing  it.  So ...with tge depression. You are dealing  with a life changing event with a course you just don't  know. I would imagine beibg able to discuss this with someone outside the family would be helpful. The cancer council have free counselling services or alternatively you could have a GP mental health plan done and see a private psychologist under Medicare. As to your loss. That pain will improve. But may I suggest you  consider getting a new pet. They will never replace the one you have lost of course. But there are so many animals in need of a loving home and they might just bring you a little joy each day and a reason to want to come home. Best of luck. Take care. Kath x
