What is the worst part of having chronic skin cancer issues? How dod you deal with it?
We all have unique challenges and ways of facing them. How do you face yours?
That’s a difficult question, I don’t deal with challenges the same way all the time. Sometimes I feel stronger and face them head on. Other times, I am tired and just feel beat up and want to stick my head in the sand. It varies, but as long a we face them (eventually) and keep moving forward I count that as a win.
I feel like when I stick my head in the sand, I get it in my ears and that's no fun. I think I do better with support around me when it comes to managing my challenges. What helps you feel stronger? Scott skincancer.net moderator
Hmmmm, I don’t necessarily know. Some days it’s how my body feels and that makes a difference in my mental state. If I am hurting then I am less patient than normal and don’t want to deal with anything. If I am feeling good it’s a whole different story. I get nerve pain in my leg from where they removed the melanoma because it was right on/next to the nerve. Those days I am not the nicest person to be around and the last thing that I feel like dealing with is anything challenging at all. WOW sorry that was wordy. 😂
I like wordy answers because in this forum words are way we engage each. So keep them coming. I understand about how I feel being connected to my mental state. Today I don’t feel that great physically and I’m trying to keep it together. As for feeling stronger, I think exercising or taking photos helps me be mentally stronger.
