Was told by some nigger to post on this board when I had my thread in /b/, so let's do this.
>inb4 an hero>inb4 tldrWhat would you do if you were me?I'm 24 years old, was diagnosed with cancer three years ago right after my mother also had a relapse with cancer and passed away from it. Before any of that, my father had also passed away when I was 16. When my father had passed away, I missed a week's worth of school and didn't have much of an opportunity to cope with him passing. Also, with my mother I didn't have any outlet to cope with, since I had been diagnosed with cancer just a few months later after her passing.
I know that I've been affected by my parents passing and having my own battle with the disease, but I've persevered without the aid of any antidepressants and minimal exposure to therapy. I didn't have to go through any type of treatment for my cancer, but did have to go through an extensive period in where I may be at the risk of relapse; it's fine now. In the time which I'd go through these checkups, I was living with an estranged sibling and the situation there was tense enough that it resulted to me using my inheritance to live on my own.
Throughout the checkups, my mother being so sick in which I needed to be by her side until the day she passed, and going to school, I've been feeling considerably out of sync with who I was prior to all what was going on. What might have been an existential affair on the life that I was leading at the time was really just a way for me to find out who I really am. In lieu of sleeping away my life, I sought out help through psychiatry.
And here's where I am right now:
