Self confidence

Morning everyone hope you had a wonderful Christmas.

I now lack confidence in myself since treatment for BC, I appear confident in my work position colleagues wouldn’t believe but now in home life I worry about too many people liking me or in the things I do. If someone pulls me up over something I get upset. I have started picking on my partner making comments on women. I seem to snap at little things which never bothered me before.

Does anyone know about maybe seeing my doctor over confidence building or who can I turn to ?

Thanks

Hello there,

I felt very similarly , and over the months my confidence in myself has reappeared - I am sorry to say I have no idea why or what helped, but as the treatment receeded and I have more nd more good months I feel more like my old self, and my old self was quite confident!

best of luck
