I’m Done with Cancer Treatment. Why Am I So Upset All the Time?

Everyone is celebrating the end of my treatments, but I just feel like crying. 

I powered through treatment and thought I was doing just fine, but I seem to have fallen off a cliff after finishing chemo. 

My friends and family expect me to be back to “normal,” but I feel like I’m falling apart. 

What if I can’t keep up when I return to work?

Who am I now?

I miss seeing my doctor, the nurses, and the other patients at the clinic. I feel so alone now.  

I feel guilty because I know I SHOULD be eating better, exercising, sleeping more, and stressing less, but I can’t seem to do it all. 

I’m done with treatment, but I can’t stop worrying about whether this could recur.
