Hello

Hi everyone my name is Kimi I am new to the group currently fighting anxiety and depression. I personally have not been diagnosed with Cancer, but my mother passed away from colon cancer. So I’m definitely here for needed support and advice but also here to comfort and assist those who are battling cancer that just need someone to talk to

[Janieliza]

Hi there, welcome. You will certainly get the support you need here. There's always someone with a shoulder for you, for anyone who needs it and never be afraid to lean on us. I lost my father in law, uncle and one of my best friends to cancer so I know the pain. My best friend fought for years, went into remission and it returned...twice. I raised her son with my own children...hes now living with his partner and pops in every day. Anytime to fancy a chat...give me a nudge xx

Thank you so much! That definitely makes me feel good to know he support is here.

[Janieliza in reply to Flemons_k]

It definitely is. It's helped me and I've come through the other side of anxiety, depression, agoraphobia. You'll be just fine in this little healthunlocked family x

I’m really feeling like that is very true

[Janieliza in reply to Flemons_k]

It is, I honestly wouldn't say it if it wasnt. The support is amazing. You helping others will also help YOU. It's quite surreal actually how it unfolds...its almost like therapy on here, the difference being you are speaking to ppl who feel you, they understand you because at one time or another....weve been you. xx

How long did it take you to get it under control

[Janieliza in reply to Flemons_k]

Years and years. It was a long journey and I worked incredibly hard and faced things I didn't want to. I came out of the darkness and once I decided to walk thro the bridge to the light...i didn't stop until I reached it and I wrote every day down for years. Xx

That gives me hope and that is something I will try to start doing I never really had a hobby

Write....write write write. It's fantastic therapy, I wrote a book in the end through all my notebooks that I put together and things I took back out of my Pandoras box close to my chest. Not to have it published no..'The Invisible Child' was for me and it worked, I didn't only get well....many of my demons disappeared. I still have my little box but it's away and alot lighter than it's ever been.

That’s it awesome that is definitely what I’m striving for
