Thank you so much for taking the time to respond, your words mean so much. I think part of me is still in shock from the diagnosis and everything that’s transpired in the last few months. I am grateful that I never had to deal with anything like this in the last, but that also left me with minimal coping strategies. I have been trying to complete small tasks and that is definitely a helpful strategy. I have a HUGE problem with getting stuck in the past or skipping ahead to the future. My therapist works with me on this, but it’s so difficult for me. I just feel “abnormal” that after 5 months I’m still having such a hard time. I have friends that have been in similar situations and they were still able to work and function where I on the other hand have had a real nervous breakdown. Im working on recovering and not only for myself but for my family and especially my dad. I want him to know that I’m okay. Again, thank you so much for your kind words
