@elizm, thank you for your reply. Since my diagnosis of breast cancer in May, 2018, I've been non stop afraid and depressed. My gp has put me on anti anxiety pills once a day but doesn't seem to be working. Well, maybe a little. The panic attacks have lessened. I guess I thought once everything was done with. I'd be back to my old self. Not the case at all and I miss my old self :(. I will be starting telephone counselling next Wednesday so will see how that goes.

I'm so sorry that you struggling with this new journey. I was diagnosed a year earlier than you, and also thought that, once the surgery and chemo, etc. were done, I could return to my old life. It didn't work out that way for me. I've had more time than you to get philosophical about it all. My current mantra is "Whatever happens, love that." Sounds crazy, I know... but it allows me to make friends with the changes, although sometimes I attempt to go around them or affect them... but it's no longer a battle. Just sayin'....
