Hello. Honestly lately I have been very depressed. I have prostate cancer and I feel so terrible I don't know how to keep going. How do you deal with feeling burnt out with cancer?

Good advisor

Hi @ricky68

I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Living with cancer is very scary and puts you on an emotional roller coaster. I imagine many on Carenity have felt a similar burn out. Let me tag a few others who may be able to share their experience and offer support.

How do you deal with the negative emotions that come with a cancer diagnosis? What did you do that helped you manage these feelings? What advice can you share for other Carenity members?

Take care everyone,

It is hard. It really is a day to day. I did talk with my pallative care provider. That helped alot. I try to think of the positive things I want to do. That gives me something to look forward to. When you are feeling diwn reach out.

@kmbcancer Thank you for the support. I try to do that too but it's hard. What type of cancer do you have?
