Emontional and physical issues

Jenzworld2005

Hello my name is Jennifer I'm 46. In Feb 2017 I was diagnosed with IDC and in April 2017 I under went a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction. Everything went fine. I'm now cancer free and don't need chemo or radiation. But I'm have issues with anxiety, panic attacks and the physical changes I'm going through. I don't want to leave my house, I have anxiety about leaving or having people over. I get physically ill when out in and about. I feel people stare at me. I feel like I have three heads when I leave. My clothes fit differently. The emotional and physical issues,I was not warned about. My chest with the expanders look like I have breast but physically and emotionally I feel so different. Returning to work on June 19th is a huge anxiety and sets of panic attacks just thinking about it. I started seeing a therapist to help me understand why I'm going through this.

Did anyone else suffer from anxiety or have emotional issues dealing with the physical changes? I feel so alone.
