I have recently been diagnosed with cancer. I am currently undergoing chemo. The whole situation has caused my anxiety and depression to be so much worse.
I loved being able to vent to someone about my feelings.
Nothing. It works great.
It could have felt more natural if i didnt have to select a strategy since sometimes my message had more than 1.
same as above

I personally have dealt with depression and i know how isolation all of that can be. Sometimes i find it helps to give yourself time to feel what you need to feel first before trying to feel better.

Yes. They are very supportive. That is one of the things that make me so sad. I hate the thought that this disease may take me away from them.
