I am on the rest and recover phase of breast cancer. Since active treatment has been completed, I'm now in a frustrating and lost phase. I feel like no one gets my life, everyone is so busy and I'm sad and depressed a lot. I can't do the things I used to enjoy and I'm alone most of the time. I miss being a Mum and having my kids around but I don't have the strength to have them more than 2 nights a week yet. I'm at an age where all my friends are busy with kids, any that don't have kids are busy with work or parties. My life has been tipped upside down for the last year, I'm hanging on by a thread, so is my ex-husband who is bearing the family load so I can recover. It feels like the end is never coming, and our family life will never get back to some type of normality. I haven't had a carer and I'm really feeling it now. Where do I turn for support, my family don't know how to help and I'm lost for answers.
