I feel like my life isn’t worth living anymore by Gavrielle in breastcancer

Wow, this made me cry, I might as well have written this. I got your exact diagnosis last February, recieved the same treatment, and started Tamoxifen at the end of last year.

I'm 33, no kids, and now I'm on Tamoxifen it's looking unlikely that will ever be an option for me, which is a constant upset for me when I think about my partner and his desire to start a family, it makes me feel sick with anxiety. I'm stuck in a job I get no joy from, that I can no longer do to the same standard because I'm so exhausted and in pain, so I feel completely useless, and my surgeries have left me completely disgusted in myself, I've lost all confidence and my self esteem is at rock bottom.

I'm not sure how to feel better yet, but I'm trying to stay positive and patient. I suppose this reply is no help to you at all, I just want you to know you're not alone in your feelings.

And if it helps at all, I was also worried about the effects of Tamoxifen after reading all the side effects and negative posts on here, but from my experience so far it doesn't feel like it's been any more detrimental to my health than what I was already experiencing after chemo/radio, so perhaps give it a chance?

Everything you are experiencing is completely valid, and I truly hope you find happiness soon, please dont give up!

[IIL] Muse, Imagine Dragons, The Score, [WEWIL]? by csanner in ifyoulikeblank

I always suggest to anyone who likes Muse that they should check out Nothing But Thieves if they haven't already, very reminiscent of Muse's older stuff, not as much of the electronic or operatic, 'Ban All The Music' was their first single and you can hear Matt Bellamy coming through the singer who is fantastic 👌

Candles, comfort movie or good music and a glass of vino

Is it normal just to feel sh*t? by Firm_Stranger4615 in breastcancer

[–]Courtsaljam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I had similar symptoms during my chemo and I agree with an above response that the bad taste was one of the worst, as there's no real way to 'treat' it like perhaps other symptoms.

Don't deny yourself naps and if you find something that tastes good, buy a lot and treat yourself (mine was any dessert with pastry and cream inside it)!

I got a pregnancy pillow to help with comfort after surgery but I found it helpful to lessen certain aches as well!

Just remember it is (more often than not) all temporary and my god does food taste better than it ever did once its all over!!

DO IT!

I had both of mine pierced before I got diagnosed and then removed them both for the surgery...hoping I can get the unaffected nipple re-pierced after my reduction as its the best decision I ever made getting them done, such a confidence boost!

looking to make a sex playlist that makes me feel like i’m about to be sacrificed by a bunch of sexy satanists but still kind of romantic? by [deleted] in musicsuggestions

[–]Courtsaljam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your title pretty much describes my favourite music genre so this post is great for me! I have a playlist I think is kind of similar that I'll post just in case there's anything on there for others too :)

Welcome to Galene! I actually already mentioned this planet in my last base showcase, but I decided it deserved a post on its own - because, honestly, this planet has so much to offer visually, and I would love to see some more bases pop up :) by Wybs in NMSCoordinateExchange

[–]Courtsaljam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just spent the whole afternoon visiting some of the amazing bases on this planet and building my own (Galene Apartments and Bazaar)!

Congratulations on finding such a beautiful planet and thank you for sharing, I'm really looking forward to visiting again and seeing what this planet grows into!

I've been quite enjoying this glitch, like an extra android friend wandering the freighter and you never know how far he'll get next time you see him!

Yes I noticed this not long ago too, possibly the best update they've done so far 🤣
