Depression over Mets

My terrific oncology nurse recommended a councillor when I felt a bit less than brilliant at my third long term side effect in a row. The councillor specialised in understanding how energy works and is replenished, and how to maintain balance. It was splendid advice, I didn't need relaxation, I wanted something positive to do to maintain my balance and my health. She gave me practical advice about getting all the aspects of my life, not just the cancer coping ones, into greater balance. Making sure you get good things in your life, do at least one thing a day that gives you pleasure/makes you laugh, reduce the things that don't give you pleasure as much as may be possible, walk, breathe deeply. I think primek's suggestions are good too. Having just got 2 teenage cats from the pound, their antics are a tonic by themselves. You will survive, you just need to build the strength to fully live again. And yes, shoulders are here. Best wishes.
