Depressed

I have CLL and feeling pretty good most of the time. I take Brukinsa daily.
Seems like at Christmas time I have been teary eyed and depressed at times.
It doesn’t take much to trigger this feeling.
Any one else feel like this ?

  1. Yup. Usually when the bloodwork is askew and solutions are meager, when side effects are pilling up and so are symptoms. I try to find one important thing to do a day. I get to pick what is important (sometimes). It doesn't have to mean anything to anyone, as long as it has meaning for me. Just one thing a day. It can grow from there. It usually does 😀

    1. Yes I know that system, I used it myself many times. Basically you select one thing ahead of time that you are going to get done that day and then hopefully you can complete it! It doesn't even have to be something productive, as you said, it may be something just for you that you can use to help your mental state. Whatever it is, though, it gives you something to look forward to, which is super important! Great advice! Keep on keepin' on, DPM
