Depressed but not really scared

I am sorry for your struggles but am intrigued you aren't scared of being dead. You just provided me a wake-up call. I've lived many years being scared of things not real- hypochondria, anticipatory anxiety & hiding from things in life I wish I didnt.

I don't know what it's like to be given a diagnosis with a life expectancy but I sympathize. I'm older now & am starting to see family & friends get sick and some have passed.

You say you're sorry for time wasted. Do you mean prior to your diagnosis or BC your diagnosis has a time frame for survival?

Is your depression being treated? Quality of life is of most importance so I hope you're being treated.

We will support you during this trial in your life. You've defended our country, we'll defend you.

Sending you much peace David-

DataDavid- I am so sorry that this is happening to you. I would believe that you not being scared maybe due to the fact that you have had to deal with a life or death situation before and that may have numbed you, I would also say to be aware that you maybe hit with fear and other issues in time. I am sorry that things are not going well. I hope that you are getting help with the depression and have someone to talk to that you feel safe with so the emotion do not build up to something that can not be controlled. Stay strong hun.

Hi Data,

I am really sorry for your prognosis. I wish it was different. For some reason I am not afraid to die, but I have watched people die and they seem so at peace. But I am not faced with what you are facing either. I think at this time, you should try to make the best out of each day. Try not to have regrets, you did the best that you could possibly do and I think that is awesome... Be proud of who you are...

I see what you mean about the process of dying. I think we all just hope it isn't a painful process.

Do you go to counseling? It helps many of us, you might get a really good counselor to help you through things if you need it. We are here for you too. It is all about support.

I hope that this is a good day for you. I am seeing sunshine, something I haven't seen in many days... It is awesome!!!

Take care, Remember, one day at a time...

Hugs, Karen...

Joe,

I am sorry to hear this. Even though it hasn't changed your emotions yet, it may later. I see you have been posting on the breast cancer forum, would you like to explain more?

Either way, know we are here for you. The forum is kind of slow sometimes on the weekends. But generally picks up a lot during the week. You will get responses then. You may even want to start your own thread and tell us some about yourself and what you are going through... It is totally up to you.

Like I said above, know we are here for you...

Hugs, Karen...
