The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Hi, everyone,

I am a college art student, completing a project about the many trials people face and yet may keep hidden in fear of harming how society perceives them. I am hoping to receive anonymous feedback from people going through various struggles, cancer being one of them, so that I can help decrease the pain of going through illness in an indifferent society. If you could please spare a few minutes of your time to share your experience with me, I would so appreciate it.

That being said, my question is: What do you wish those around you knew about your condition?

Thank you and God bless you, in both your battle with cancer and with every other aspect of your life,

Kate
