Not personally but after my mum had serious health issues she lost confidence and didn't want to go out. Eventually a situation occured where she needed some cash and I refused to get it for her but offered to accompany her to the cash point. She eventually agreed to come with me and after that gradually regained confidence
I have had a couple of surgeries on one of my eyes and have completely lost confidence in my ability to see accurately and judge distances which has made me reluctant to drive.
I'm sorry you're experiencing this, do you have a friend who will accompany you on a few short outings? |

I guess we all react differently to circumstances.
A friend of mine had a big scar after an operation but he dealt with it by making various different stories up around it.
Think fighting off a shark etc etc
Not saying it would work for you though
The way I look at it is if you’ve beat cancer but then don’t go out etc the dam cancer has won a small battle
Get out and whip cancers ass again 🤜 |
