I’m a breast cancer survivor, thrown into a whirlwind of change in the 9 months since I found the lump in February: diagnosis, mastectomy, unplanned early retirement, change of financial resources, broken finger which incapacitated my entire arm, realization that none of my neighbors or “friends” were actually acting like friends, lack of medical support due to choosing alternative treatment, lack of social support due to becoming the one in need rather than the giver, and withdrawal from SSRI. (SSRIs are linked to breast cancer.)
I started Al Anon today (11/12/12) and am in the process of finding a shrink who will help me get off the drugs. (I don’t expect that to be an easy task.)
I am finding myself a little too close to suicidal. Someone actually lent me their shoulder to cry on last night, and today I awoke stronger. While I am feeling a bit stronger I am actively seeking support. I googled “codependency affirmations” and got this as a hit, so here I am.
