Im scared about life getting back to normal

[user459087]

Im scared about life getting back to normal after covid. I haven't been personally affected by covid and neither has anyone I know and I am very grateful for that.
I was diagnosed with cancer the day we went into lockdown and life with cancer and covid has been hard as I haven't seen my family, not had much support and I feel like I have been living in my own safety bubble.
Now life is starting to get back to normal I feel like Im more scared now then ever and I don't know why. Im trying to go out and do things but nothing feels the same anymore or enjoyable (im not sure if most people feel like this or just me).
I don't even know why I feel scared as the risk of catching is low now.

Maybe you haven't quite come to terms with the cancer diagnosis? I think a lot of people are feeling the way you are, without a major health problem, because lockdown suspended everything and now that things are more normal they're having to deal with all the things that were put on hold/ignored due to the distraction of the pandemic.

Having been shielding, I am finding it intensely enjoyable having a bit more freedom. We are really careful still though.

Do you have the option of talking to a cancer nurse? Is there support for people with the diagnosis in your area? x

@TheDailyCarbuncle I think your probably right and that not having covid to focus on I have no choice now but to focus on my cancer diagnosis.
