I achieved making a dessert tonight. I’d call that a win. I’m a person who sees life with rose coloured glasses. It’s like life has yanked them off and made me watch horrific things in graphic detail. And I came off antidepressants a few weeks ago too. I’m not at the point of going back on them, but maybe that’s what I’m doing wrong.

Thank you for your reply. I might give the phone number a go. These are just a few family things. There has been more, like workplace violence and my divorce within these events but my dads situation has really pulled the rug out from under me. After being through so much within such a short period of time I got sick of the pity, and sick of not being able to cope. This is happening again and I can feel myself getting frustrated, teary and flattened so easily. I feel like I’m too young for this at 31, 27 when it began with mum.

I’m not coping. How do you cope? My mum died suddenly of an aneurism in 2016 at Christmas. My step mum has just been moved to palliative care from pancreatic cancer, with the outlook of 2-10 months. My uncle has been diagnosed with prostate cancer about two months ago. And now My dad has been diagnosed with kidney cancer. He doesn’t know how big or what stage, just that they will operate. I don’t even know if it’s to remove it or just take a biopsy! I don’t know how to cope anymore. I am so angry at the world and find myself crying at the drop of a hat. Ive read that Kidney cancer has a 75% survival rate at 5 years after diagnosis but my dad is 75. I’m usually strong and positive but I just can’t do it anymore.
