Hey @MelissaD you have every right to be feeling anxious and overthinking everything. It sounds like you're in the middle of treatment so your body and your mind are still coming to grips with this new reality that you've been bombarded with. Breast Cancer, all that it comes with, does to you and takes away from you. It's very normal for your mind to go racing ahead about anything. Your mind and body are under stress. It's good that you recognise how and what you're feeling. I think it's very important to be kind to yourself and work on some techniques to help you through those anxious times. I've lived with anxiety and have worked out ways to get me through those anxious days. What helps you when you're having anxious days? I know I tend to clean the bathrooms with my anxious energy. Other times I find just deep slow breathing helps. I've also done colouring in, I even dedicated a day to colouring in, it keeps you busy and allows your mind to process through everything on it's own. Getting out in nature or a walk around the block to get some fresh air helps me.
What kind of things do you find you do when anxiety strikes?
Good luck with your final two chemo sessions. The end is in sight.
