I can totally relate.
Allow yourself to go through these feelings. If they are too overwhelming, maybe a light anti-depressant will help. It sounds cliche' but only time will help this situation.
The first year for me was HELL. I was anxious all the time. Femara was hard to deal with. Year 2 & 3 were difficult, but less so. I'm 4.5+ years out and finally getting a grip.
For me, I pray constantly. If you have a craft, or can be involved in something, that would be good. I also help with other people in my church that either have cancer or a life threatening illness.
It is what I've heard called "the new normal" -- be patient with yourself.
Talk soon, MichelleA
