I am new to the forum and need help. I have MBC and was diagnosed last April so it's almost been a year. I have Fibromyalgia and am dealing with the symptoms from that as well as the chemo. I have mets to the bones and ovary and as of the last scan the bone mets are shrinking and the ovary met is stable. My problems are the emotional fall-out of this. I am having a hard time with my emotions. I am afraid to committ to living and not ready to die just yet so sitting on the fence of living. I am all over the place with emotions and find it very hard to know what the day will bring. HOW DO YOU STAY SANE???? I have had psychological assistance but they were of little use, one was fixated on why I quit my job years ago, one wanted to know if I was a hoarder and had bed bugs and the last one said that everything I was feeling was normal but offered no other help.
I am also alone with all this, my sister is in a care home, I have been caring for our mother for the last 15 years and my brother is 3 hours away and can only help out once a month. I have a friend who has distanced herself from me so I truly feel like I am holding on to a heavy burden with all this. Please give me some tips on how you cope with living day to day. Do you distract yourself, crafts, think positive what ever I need help to just keep going.
