Cancer and stress

...See more Two years ago, when I finally reached my peace of mind, my father was diagnosed the first cancer. In only two years I saw the decay of my family. After the first medical therapy, things seemed to be improving. My dad faced the first cancer with optimism and strenght, as the strong and brave man he is, always on the move. We built our home together in the years. After the last medical visit, we organized a welcome party at home. Fews months later, his health went down. So we went back to the hospital and we discovered a second cancer, more aggressive and rare then the first. He is a professional musician, and he made his passion his life job. But this time, doctors said that he can't play music or sing probably anymore. This thing killed his mind. He's now depressed and sad, weaker then the first time. My mom got depression too, and my brother got panic attacks. In the last two years, I slept in hospitals, I cooked for my mom and for my brother, did all the household chores, burned my savings in medicines, visits and grocery. Some months ago I quit my good job because my family need me, they have only me, and I started a part time job. I was living between hospitals and home. Meanwhile I tried to continue my master studies, with few positive results. I feel death inside, I also have no time and no mental resources to do my hobbies. Some days ago my dog passed away, and this was icing on the cake. I feel confused, stressed, my mental health is constantly on the rocks. I see my relatives crying each day, and I show myself always positive, my empathy is like a knife for me. I'm still standing but every day I feel like I could fall into madness.
