Cancer and cancer treatment can be like PTSD as you have a lot of anxiety, stress, pressure and, often, physical pain. I try to keep it away from others but sometimes it spills out. I think that that support groups can help because they are places where you can vent where everyone will understand.
For some, medication can help. I found good refuge in exercise as that produces chemicals that made me feel a lot better. I’m sorry that there is this change but it’s really tough stuff to go through. I’m not excusing it but just saying how it can happen.
