So there has been so much going on,abuse from my sister,my cancer scare and my mum having cancer,and booked in for a hysterectomy next Tuesday.
Not only are they all massive things but they are happening one after another without time to breathe.
I have schizoaffective disorder as well as chronic illnesses like diabetes 2,hypothyroidism and sleep apnea.It is all overwhelming and staying on top of my mental health is a strain.My depressive episodes make life very unstable and too much stress and I go on a downward spiral where my mental health deteriorates.Then I can't face going out and struggle to look after myself at home.It is vital that I can do that cos I have no one to help me.

So it is a worry and I can't not be well physically and mentally.So I am overhauling my lifestyle.Going vegan and avoiding anything with sugar in it,being very obese it seems is a major risk factor for cancer,stroke,heart disease I need to lose 10 stone in weight cos that is how much fat I am packing.Exercise everyday and eat salads,apparently that is the best anti cancer diet too and as I have been told I have abnormal cells that is what I have to adopt.

I don't know if others here struggle with mental and physical health issues but having both is a tremendous struggle and challenge don't you think?
