@MelissaD I just read through your other posts. You are going through a tough time at the moment and it is hard work. I also found after each chemo session, about a week or so after that it was really hard work to get myself out of the darkness and anxiety that I felt. I think I just kept telling myself that I could do this. I can get up and get out of the house and it may help me to feel better. Chem really knocked me about physically, I felt really sick, nauseas, head achy, slow, tired, woozy in the head. I didn't have to go to hospital with a temperature though, small mercies. However everyone has a struggle and anxiety is right on top of the list. You are not alone in feeling anxious about your situation, your pain, your life being put on hold and your future. Everything knocks the stuffing out of you.
It sounds like you've got some good support from your parents, that's great. Take each day as it comes, if it helps take each minute as it comes and reward yourself for getting through what you already have gotten through. Cancer is a scary, anxiety producing thing. You and your doctors are doing everything you need to be doing to get through this treatment and beyond. Journaling sounds like a great idea. Write out those anxious thoughts. They aren't silly, they are what you are going through. The thing is to work out what works best for you to manage that anxiety and those thoughts that keep going through your head. Do you like to draw or paint or colour in? I've found art to be a wonderful therapy for myself through this cancer adventure of mine. Art, writing, drawing, craft anything to help you heal is great to try when you're up to it.
