Hi Kelhab, I'm so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I have also been going through the same thing (recently diagnosed 3 weeks ago) & it has completely turned my world upside down. I have my good and bad days but experience many of the things that you are. I cry at random times of the day (even the smallest inconvenience is magnetized & leaves me in tears), I've lost 7lbs since diagnosis from not eating (how can I eat when I have bigger things to worry about?? Also, I've become a somewhat "overnight" picky eater as I am scared what I put in my body will cause the cancer to grow/spread), at times I'm very irritable, I feel all types of random aches & pains (where I didn't feel a thing prior to being diagnosed so its this mind of mine getting the best of me)... the list goes on... but know that you are not alone.

I'm finally reaching out to resources in order to get my mind right for the journey ahead. I also have xanax on standby in the event that I may need it. I personally am trying my best to avoid taking it but there is absolutely no shame in needing to take it! It will help you sleep & sleep/rest is a very powerful thing. We recently took a weekend getaway where I was able to get a good nights rest for the first time since dx and I felt like a whole new person.

Sending you hugs & good vibes!

I am very sorry to hear about your condition. I can relate to it as well. Initially, when my mom was suffering from breast cancer she couldn't sleep for days and she had PTSD symptoms like severe anxiety and nightmares. We as a family also had to go through a lot. However, one of my friends suggested me to try herbal remedies to treat the symptoms of PTSD as well as cancer, and believe me, it helped my mom to feel a lot better during her treatment. She became mentally strong which helped her to support her treatment. She changed her diet to 100 percent herbal by using some of the best ayurvedic herbs and that has really turned out to be a great decision. She followed iahas.com for all her herbal remedies and recipes but there are many sites you can refer to just in case you want to try this out.
