Hello, sorry to see we have some additions to the club that no-one wants to be in .
So I lost my mum well over a year ago now .
Whilst the first few months I felt nothing like I would do . Previously to this I thought id be sobbing at my mum's funeral etc but nothing just utter blankness and horror .
I've since been diagnosed with severe depression and ptsd and cbt has helped me come a long way in recent months.
Until this week . It's the things that I can't predict but generally I am unbelievably angry at the fact that my mum's breast cancer was missed on an mammogram and then the following terrible treatment she received. I feel that if she'd been run over by a drink driver at least I would know whose fault it was or have some kind of answers but nope.
Instead , it's like a random person has ruined my mum's whole life and I'm just meant to accept that.
I'm very left wing , pro nhs normally by the way .
