As a stage 4 cancer patient, and someone who has been dealing with the disease for 6 years, depression is a pretty normal thing in my life. Even though I rarely found myself chronically depressed, I have some surefire symptoms or coping mechanisms that let me know I'm drifting towards a less-present and more depressive mindset.

While in cancer treatment, it's harder to differentiate. Cancer is just absurd and shocking, and all sorts of other negative things that don't allow you to quite calibrate your normal emotions. In this stage 4 melanoma blog, I talk about how I'm rediscovering my normal emotions, and why it's not a bad thing for me to feel and acknowledge depression.

Thanks for watching!

Byyyyeeee
