Looking for advice how to get my head around this.
Hello Cailen05,
Time, you need to give yourself time since initially your mind will be in full overload crisis and trying to make sense of everything at the beginning will only make matters worse with stress levels going stratospheric.
Once you can get acceptance of the fact that you are where you are and nothing you can do can change that, then it gets easier to work out where you need to go and how best to get there.
You are now on a journey that you had no decision about taking, how you choose to travel along it, you very much do.Take care of yourself, let your medical team look after your body, they are much experienced in doing so. Its up to you to look after your mind, and never underestimate the impact of doing so can have upon your treatment and recovery,
Safe journey,
David
Hi David,
I've just read your reply to Cailen05 and it was really helpful for me. I was just diagnosed a week ago, and my head's been spinning - I think I've been trying to work out how not to accept it! Thank you for your clarification, it's really helping me cope with the day to day.
