Why anger is the most destructive emotion going....

2 minute read time.

I've turned very green this weekend , not sick but angry like the Hulk. I'm not very nice when I'm angry and I really can't seem to shake off these outburss the past few days.

Is like chicken and egg scenario - cancer or anger, which came first ?? It seems my dsyfunctional relationship with cancer has kicked into largely anger this weekend and shifted my sunny disposition - like the return of the rain.

Why ? Why not ? It's affecting all my interpersonal relatonships but inparticular the ones closest to me, my kids, the guy I was dating and some friends. I can have a good day but every morning nature wakes me with this pleasant reminder this is happening, this is real and even though I sleep peaceful in my dreams happy, i wake and my brain floods with reminders of what I have ahead of me and probably my own fear, but a lot of resentment/ frustration.

I'm just pissed with the way BC has pushed it's way into my life uninvited and pushed it's way to the front literally to jostle my life out of the way to stamp it's presence, steal my body parts and challenge all my beliefs and esteem.Ok, this is temporary and all things will pass and I will beat this beast to submission and it goes off crying for its mum, then I'll kick it's mum's ass too...and any other family member trust me.

Why am I moaning ??? I'm alive this is curable/ treatable - why the heck am I moaning about vanity and injustice !! I'm not a why me person as i know cancer is a worldwide problem in developed countries where we run ourselves ragged are polluted by external factors, and this triggers off our own internal growing nagging tumours. I accept that my own body helped form this mass.

But seriously ??? Grrrrrr can't I just be me - the one I was before I was diagnosed, the one with both breasts and long lovely hair. Sure I'll sacrifice all of my superficial and external beauty and sure i'll grow back and sure I can have reconstruction and this is blag I tell everyone else with a brave and cheery smile...don't worry about me ! But today I think F888 that !!

Just for today I want to storm into the house of cancer, kidnap it's leader and brutally torture it for everyone that has suffered and fallen, for everyone fighting now, for everyone that has survived with some of their body parts stolen and for anyone in the future it might steal away. Grrrrr - anyone with me ?? Let's have an anarchy

Normal calm service will return tomorrow - even an uber optismist can have an off day

    Ha, suddenly I can post something. I still haven't got a paragraph when I press enter though..hmm... Anyway, I wanted to say: I feel exactly like you, Sassy, really angry, could do without this - I have no time for this stupid thing. Like you I have just been diagnosed, and my op is on 26th June. They don't think lymphs are affected yet, but they say they'll know for sure after op. We could always shout at each other rather than at people we love? How about that? Hugs to you xxx

    Hey Congenial -

    Hugs right back at you !! Yes lets do that - sanity is something I planned on keeping when the taker of body parts has finished.

    Are they doing anxilliary clearance or sentinel biopsy ? Dear God I sound like I have actually been taking notice of all these articles now and google is my best friend lol - My BC nurse said they will know the extent of lymph damage post op too - funny as I've promised my left breast to my ex husband as 1) he doesn't believe this is happening and I'm hoaxing and 2) he always wanted to take half when we broke up and told everyone he paid for my implants anyway - sooooo not the case but hey let's send him the diseased part for his trophy case lol

    Please excuse poor humour - on a plus note no anger today !! WINNING !! I am really tired & drained though,energy level is probably 40% ...what the heck is that about ? Anyone else having drops in energy before treatement ???

    Hey, I have been feeling tired for a while - even went to the doctor to check into my iron levels as I'm sometimes anaemic. Now I find the more I do the more energy I have, so am trying not to give in. ----- they are doing a sentinel biopsy - the ultrasound didn't show any lymphs affected. ---- Don't worry about jokes - when I told people I said I'd take up archery (it's my right breast with a huge stupid lump) and they look at me like I've lost it now! :-) ---- Still can't find a key to make a paragraph break. hmmm.... ---- Lots of hugs to you, sassy, whereabouts are you? I'm in Kent... xxx

    Hi Sassy,

    You are probably using some energy up fighting the cancer already.

    My energy levels are never brilliant (I'm diabetic) but I have heard many cancer patients say they feel the cold more.

    As for paragraphs Congenial, I can only put mine in after I've finished typing and before I post.
