So got a call from my specialist dermatologist today ,and after blood results she wasn't too pleased with and a few other things instead of a scan I am now getting a needle biopsy done on the lymph nodes in my neck (due to the previous skin cancer) this was an urgent referral and appointment, but as its like weeks away till I can get it done I am now extremely worried and stressed and just thinking the worst now.I am still on crutches, and have long term catheter in which next month il be then doing self catheterisation to see if that works OK and there's no issues. I feel absolutely drained physically and mentally, I got myself in such a panic and state after I found out just completely thinking the worst already, the waiting is constant anxiety and worrying too and my he's dust doesn't stop overthinking it all,I just feel so overwhelmed right now and genuinely don't think I can handle anything else 😔 🙈 feel as though the past months it has just been non stop and eventually I just feel broken 💔

This is exactly what I, and countless others, do everyday - we put up a ‘public persona’ to hide what we’re truly going through. We pretend that we aren’t: in #AGONY or #depressed or #exhausted or #anxious . We pretend because we are #scared of how others would treat us if they really know what we were going through. The thing is though, by pretending we are something we’re not, we are giving ourselves more #Stress but also denying someone the opportunity to help us deal with the things that are really going on in our lives.

Just like Monarch Butterflies, your part in this world makes a marked difference. You can touch lives just by living authentically and can change the course of someone’s entire day with a smile or a kind word. If you weren’t here tomorrow, we’d miss you. Tomorrow holds opportunities that would have been premature for today; if we can’t rush a pregnancy, we can’t rush healing or progress. Don’t give up: tomorrow’s you may have the chance that today’s you isn’t ready for. (I’ve been there many times these last five years; this is personal experience and I’ll start sharing it soon.)

Now. Grab your coziest blanket, and burrito up again; you get to stay tucked in the chrysalis a little longer. When you’re ready to take the next steps and start your transformation, you’ll know. We’re here to support you when you need it and to celebrate with you as you make your goals. #CPTSD #TraumaRecovery #Suicide #SuicidalIdeation #Depression #MajorDepressiveDisorder #keephope #itsokaynottobeokay

Provide a safe space for your girlfriend to explore her own emotions safely with you and yes, without you. Encourage her to speak to a licensed professional when feeling the urge to offer advice when maybe, she just needs someone to listen to her vent.

Be a shoulder to cry on without trying to fix the reason that’s causing her tears. It’s hard to see the ones we love in pain, but it’s better to provide healthier options to cope with negative emotions or symptoms of any mental distress.

When your girlfriend is struggling and all you want to do is help, the best thing could be seeking a therapist, counselor, psychologist, mental health doctor, etc.

There’s only so much we can do until given the right tools as an educated support system!

Best wishes,
