Welcome to OCF. Here you will find its a wonderful resource for questions. Please give a little more info about your history. It helps to understand where you are coming from better.
What part of Jersey are you from? There are alot of members from NJ and I grew up there.
If you are seeing a therapist, then you have made a very good choice. Cancer can really beat you up and many will require some therapy to get thru it. Alot of times survivors also need some anti anxiety meds. Its very common, nothing to be ashamed of at all. Check with your doc, let them know how you feel.
