What are you doing for your mental health?
This question was posed on the radio this morning. Some don't get enough sleep, some are at a stage where the roles reverse and they take on caring for parents as well as their own children and career...
A bit of a crappy week, last week with other family members' problems and moods. I could feel my stress and anxiety levels building, much as they had for so long pre-diagnosis (I've had anxiety this year but it's been about me and feels completely different). On a couple of occasions when things got really bad, I actually visualised pushing the mass of stress out of me. It didn't work completely but it did calm me down somewhat. As I'm firmly convinced, with no scientific evidence whatsoever, that nearly 4 years of major stress and anxiety brought this cancer on, I WILL NOT allow it to happen again.
