Hi honey, I am sorry you are feeling down. No doubt the terrible winter blues and all the BC crap.
my feeling is having bc is quite isolating itself. Sometimes it helps to have a mirror bc sister someone you can chat to ( even if it's online). That is walking down a similar road as you.
I don ' have any other advice except be gentle with yourself, surround yourself with positive people and let it ride for abit. If no better talk to your doctor. A great majority of women with bc suffer true depression. Hoping you feel better soon.
