All any of us can do is one day at a time. We all face our demons going through this battle. Good days, bad days, worse days. My future is unknown, same as yours. You have to fight to live, even when all hope is lost. God bless

Hi @Fiasco

It Felicity from the Counselling and Peer Support Team at Cancer Council NSW.

I am sorry to hear about how you are feeling and the distress I can notice in your tone.

Is there a friend or family that you could speak to about how are feeling? Perhaps you could speak with your GP?

You can also call Lifeline 24 hours, 7 days a week on 13 11 14. There is always someone helpful on the other end of the phone that can speak to you about how you are feeling. You can also send a text message to them on 0477 13 11 14. Or chat via their website here.

You can also always call Cancer Council on 13 11 20. We are open 9am-5pm Monday to Friday. Please leave a voicemail if you are unable to immediately speak with a health professional. And a health professional will call you ASAP.

Take care,

Felicity

hi i just joined here i hope you feel bit better now what I am doing this day is Meditation You can open on Youtube for Guide Meditation You can do when you wake up or before bed like 30 mins if you can do both will be good for your energy for the rest of the day when you start maybe you find it a bit hard to focus but when you do for a couple weeks you will know how to control your energy your mood and your mind some time we think the worst that's not happen yet there's no need to meditation will help you with it
