One year later

[user8710921]

Today it's one year since I had surgery to remove cancer and I thought it would come with feelings of happiness and that I would be proud of myself for coping with the year it's been.
Instead I' m sat her feeling sorry for myself thinking what have I done in the past year, I haven't worked for a whole year due to illness/shielding, I miss my old life. I know everyone feels rubbish at the moment with lockdown I guess today it has just got to me :(

You're not even being a little bit unreasonable. These feelings are absolutely normal. Virtual hug!

Totally normal to be feeling this way. Don't put too much pressure on yourself by how you think you should/shouldn't be feeling.

Small steps to a bigger life. That is what you have been doing for the last year. Congratulations

At least everyone hasn't been off having fun while you've been stuck at home! Be proud!!!!

It takes time to recover physically and mentally! It took me ages after I had cancer to even believe I didnt have it anymore! You will get there. Give yourself time.
