It’s harder and lonelier now that I’m in remission. What’s that about?

I believe it's a fairly common thing, what you're feeling. For me it's a feeling of knowing I've come out the other side different but everyone expects me to be the same as before. I'm really struggling with a sense of being held back when I really want to move forward. No one seems to get it or really want to listen. I have a psychologist, too, who's helping me a bit. There are also post treatment programs and, of course, the bcna helpline if you think it might be helpful.
