Hi,
Can't stop getting emotional today. I feel awful when i wake up and gradually feel better later in day. Waiting for results doesn't help but I can't help feeling sorry for myself and feel im bringing everyone around me down.
Sue.
Hi Sue. Sorry to hear you are feeling a bit down. The waiting never helps. Do you have any news of an appointment for your results ? If you ever feel like talking to someone in person, the free Mac helpline is available not just for medical advice, but great for emotional support as well. And of course there is always someone here to listen. Best wishes.
Dear Sue, please be kind to yourself, here's a huge comforting virtual hug from me, there's no need to feel guilty about your emotions. I find hot strong tea a help when emotional. Maybe try calling the Macmillan support line for someone who will understand, that you can sniffle or sob to? And if anyone out of everyone around you is concerned, get them to call in their own right.
And to round off. another virtual hug.
Denby
Thank you xx i have spoken to Macmillan today. It helps whilst talking but today is just a bad day. So far.
Thank you. I think its all coming out now. Up until now i struggled to cry. Now its very much there.
Hi zxcv, nothing wrong with a good cry, it lets out all the pent up anxiety. Better out than in. Nice cup of tea, biscuit or chocolate? Flop in front of something distracting and hope for a better day tomorrow. Sending cyber hugs. x
Hi zxcv,
Sorry to hear it is being an emotional day today.
I take my cue from one of the previous posts and also send you a big virtual hug.
Sorry that you are having an emotional day
Not knowing and waiting for the results can really wear you down. I was exactly the same. Its something we all go through at some level
