Tina, sorry to hear you have been feeling down lately. It happens to all of us from time to time. Some handle it better than others. Im wont give you a rah-rah pep talk (scared to get punched LOL!) Sometimes its not easy to see the good when other things are weighing down our minds. No matter if you sailed right thru everything or struggled from day 1 it doesnt matter, every single oral cancer patient and caregiver have it rough. Just being told you have cancer is a life changing event or as a caregiver watching someone you love go thru everything while trying to maintain a sunny disposition can be very hard to manage.

Try to make small personal goals. It doesnt have to be anything major, just something thats productive. Everybody needs to feel useful and a reason to get up in the morning.

Hope you feel better very soon! If you dont shake it within a couple weeks, then it is serious enough to seek out a professional.
