Hi All
I have been struggling the last few days with my loss of me-ness! it’s only just started to happen. This journey through breast cancer and chemo etc is changing me as a person, personally I think for the better. Along with this change I am questioning my new thoughts but it is not causing me too much distress. The thing I am struggling with is looking in the mirror and not seeing me. Losing my hair has taken with it some of me - does anyone else know what I am on about? I still have hair but its very very thin and starting to look shite no matter what I do with it. Even scarves arent really helping that much anymore. I went out tonight and put on my face as I do every day and made myself feel pretty. But when I got to my destination I felt surrounded by beautiful people, all perfectly manicured and coiffed and then I became ugly again. Body image has previously been an issue for me but so far in this journey it hadn’t really crossed my mind. It’s only the last few days. I just don’t recognise myself at the moment and I just wondered if anyone else has been through or is going through this???
Cheers.
