How does everybody cope with this? Im currently going through my second major brain tumour anxiety spiral in less than 12 months. Short story - constant headache for 2 weeks, tripping up over words, misreading words, generally panicking that this is the Glioblastoma I have been waiting for my entire life. I saw my GP again today, she was as matter of fact as Ive ever seen her. Stern. She said she wont investigate my headaches because I had a clean CT scan 6 months ago and she knows my history so is reassured this isn't sinister. I should believe her I really should....... but I dont. This time shes wrong. I know it. This will be the time I get to tell everybody they were wrong. Will I even get satisfaction out of it? After all its a pretty grim diagnosis. The worst of the worst.
Im on the verge of losing my beautiful partner of 10 years and my 2 young kids. My 6 year old son has started telling me with concern whenever he trips over his words. I tell him its normal BECAUSE IT IS. But not in my world. In my world every slip is yet more evidence to the growing monstrosity in my head. I'm tired, its gruelling. CBT isnt working. Antidepressants arent working. I was given Quitiepine today by my GP and had to complain to my local PALS to get the psychiatrist appointment ive been promised by so many but is never forthcoming.
How do you do it? Get out of this place and try and live rather than wither away to nothing just existing until the inevitable?
Sorry about the rant. Its been a long week and im tired.
Cheers for listening
