Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia

Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well... My name is Despina and I am new in this community. I don't know how to start exactly, and what to say, so here is my thought: I got recently diagnosed with ADHD and CML (Chronic Myeloid Leukemia). While the latter can be manageable, despite being a type of blood cancer, ADHD worries me more. I suspected of having ADHD the last couple years and now I am 50.I've always had that constant noise in my head (including other features), plus anxiety and as the title of the group says, this is what I want to do: conquer my mind at last. So, I will be happy to hear any tips, your thoughts, to talk , to learn etc. Thank you for your time, nice to meet you all! :)

I am tired of being told that I have a good cancer compared to other types.
I am tired of being told that I am strong.
I am tired of being told to accept my healing.
I’m tired.
I’m tired of it all.
No, it’s not a good cancer. It’s still CANCER.
Yes, I am strong, but no amount of resilience will cure a life long blood cancer.
And,
What healing? I’m still dealing with it and will deal with this the rest of my life.
I can’t even get the medication going with out breaking into a rash.
I don’t have energy.
I don’t have motivation.
I just dont.
But,
I’m trying.
I’m trying to get back into the swing of things.
I’m trying to move past this diagnosis.
I’m trying, but it is exhausting.

I usually just read posts and have never made a post of my own, but I am sitting here literally shaking, wanting to cry and run away and not tell anyone where I have gone. I want to disappear. I have basically shut down. I am in my room which should be on Hoarders. It's not trash, but clothes, papers,mail, empty boxes. I feel ashamed. I know what I need to do, but my body is frozen. My daughter estranged herself from me Nov 2018. We were so close . I became too needy and had a huge fear of abandonment. She was spending more and more time away from me and with her boyfriend and his parents. She admitted that she was happy in a "real" family. If you have bpd, you know what this can do to you. I apologized for being so needy and have been in intensive outpatient therapy and dbt. She promised me that she loved me and wouldn't drop me out of her life if I got help. I have actually been in therapy for years. I am also getting TMS. My therapist contacted her to let her know of my progress, and she said she has no intention of having a relationship with me. That about killed me. I can honestly say and have people who will back me up, that I did NOTHING so bad as to be treated like this. I haven't seen her or talked to her in over a year and she lives in town. Never in a million years did I ever think this would happen to us. I feel hopeless. I just exist.
