How do I cope with depression during cancer treatment?

Depression during cancer treatment is incredibly common and understandable given what you're going through. Consider reaching out to your healthcare team about counseling services, support groups, or other resources that might help - many cancer centers have mental health professionals who specialize in supporting patients through treatment. This community is also here for you, and sharing what you're experiencing takes courage.

Try getting more active than you currently are. If you can, try walking outside, going even a step further than the day before. Get those endorphins pumping.

Im also at the end of my rope. I wish you well.

I am I also had passed the depression during the chemo who wouldn't your whole life is turned upside down if you're working you have family expectations so people are still expect you to be perfect and they have to learn that you're not and they have to step back and accept you the way you are right now and I get that killed on my I put that guilt on myself but I I feel it all the time because you said the chemo does something to your brain and loud sounds ringing but what I'm trying to say is that there's no cure for that I just pray and try to be around positive people and when I'm really angry about something and politics I don't like stuff in my feelings today you have to be very careful you know so I feel like I could say is taking one day at a time and I stay away from any any violent movie and keep it real simple and take a walk every morning for two miles there are support groups on zoom for people going through depression and I just want to share where you're going and what you're doing and you don't believe the resources that we have I don't use them as much as I want to but because I've been very busy taking care of my parents but you can believe it or not they help me get out of myself and get up in the morning and do things I think I would have been in bed more I felt sorry for myself if they weren't here this is how it goes for me wonder closes the network closes another I'm in the hallway and the other door opens but sometimes just some junk still in the hallway but I still go through that door because it's not resolved and then one day I won't have to go sit in that hallway and wait and by that's how hopefully be in heaven dina b take care ❤️🎁 believe it or not what that gift box is for it's on my corny but God give you the box everyday that's empty and you can feel that box up anyway you want to that gift is your box for the day I have a god box I put anything that bothers me and when the problems resolved I pull it out it's stacked right now I can't even close it but I give it to God take care bye
