A MyLymphomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I'm depressed. I know that. Trouble is it's many months for appt due to mass of covid depressed patients. Staying positive is a real struggle. I cry for no reason. Avoid friends because all I have to talk about is cancer. Avoid all activities. I'm afraid I'll never get out of this dark hole. I'm blessed to be alive and grateful for all I have. Any advice?

RubyRed,
I too was depressed after my diagnosis. I had only been married for less than a year. Covid and Cancer with just being married was difficult. So I do understand! I spoke with a Dr. and they gave me medication that really helped me. Plus, I walk everyday inside. That has really helped me too! Walking and praying. I also now take one day at a time. I try and make it the best possible. I hope this helps. Kelly

The struggle after chemo is hard. I have found anxiety and some depression after finishing treatment 5 months ago. I have heard it can take 6months to a year to get over. I continue to try different things and keep busy...but retring in 6 months!
