How to handle anxiety, stress and depression now that I was diagnosed?

Posted by mandi123 @mandi123, May 22 2:04pm

I have seen psychiatrist and tried some meds, most didnt work. I was dx with ocular melanoma last October. then cancer appeared in February, 4 months later. I have stage 4 liver cancer now. I stay stressed and can’t sleep

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Depression & Anxiety Support Group.

Well at least now I know what to do next for myself, Stop taking all my med & all the Chemo Treatment because it is not going to stop the cancer, so I can't see any point it fighting on because I'm not going to win.
As for my little wife, Yes I am really P off with them and now it's my turn to get stuck into them about what happen with her when all they had to do was take an Xray and they would have found the Problem there & then but to tell her see had nothing wrong with her was just undeliverable.
Also thank you for your kind words but sorry to tell you this but I am not a big believer in that bloke up stairs. but if you wish to believe in him that is fine with me No Problems at all So thank you
Anyway Take Care & Cheers from ( Australia )

Oh my!! The medical care system there must be as bad as it is here.. inexcusable!! It makes me so mad when they do not do their job.. which is to take care of people.. for goodness sakes I was more responsible when I was a sales rep (35 yrs grocery industry.. and it was just chocolate chips and ice cream) .. and why...??? I've been done that way before..and my husband .. the VA.. he was a 100% DAV Vietnam vet... they just let him go..I had to call Washington DC to get him a biopsy when he had liver cancer..long story.. I'm just so sorry you all are going thru this.. won't pump you up with talk about "better on the other side" (altho I have to believe it is and that's where my sweet David is now).. but I really do admire your courage!! It takes alot of courage and you have it!! Fight them hard with everything you can about your wife..and ..I will be praying for both of you.. God still does miracles.. even way over there in Australia.. prayers for you coming from Oklahoma USA You all take care too..and "cheers" back!!

I've gone down this trail before. For me the best remedy for stress anxiety & depression is exercise. Go for a long walk or run if you can. Work your exercise bike, whatever. Do something that gets you into the aerobic zone if you can. My old auntie used to say, "the remedy for depression is cleaning" - houseclean a room or two if you can! That will get your blood flowing and your mind off your problems, at least for a while!

Even selling in place inside the house helps. I know I need to move more. (Been very lazy, anxious, and borderline-depressed for a while. Hopefully summer weather here will help.)
