Hi I just like to know if am not the only one who has days of on and off crying then feeling angry then feeling guilty because I have a great team of doctors that are helping me stay and beable to have more time with my family I end up saying to my self God forgive me theirs worse people off than me then I cry again because I've been selfish this is how I feel regular is their anyone the same xxx
Hello Rosebud,I often look in on this site and used iton occasion Now I find myself still looking but not joining in.I seem to have less and less to say.Like you and so many others I appreciate the fantastic work of all the professionals,know I'm better off than many others,am loved by my family and so much more.I have responded by being as positive and as cheerful as possible.I was coping well but recently lots more tests going on . The truth is I'm ,like you ,up and down.I cry (a lot) usually when I can't sleep for thinking or when adverts for charities come on the TV.Whether it be for people in need or animals is immaterial,I cry.I realise now that I am probably depressed and my next step is to actually make that appointment with the Dr and get some help and use my local Macmillan's .Do see your Dr Rosebud and keep speaking here or with your local group.I think you are responding normally to a rubbish situation.Goodluck.
Thankyou everything you have said. About getting emotional over things only the other day the advert for the donky sanctuary came on TV I was on my own and I cry it doesn't take much these days to set me off I have one daughter she is a star I would be lost without her she has her own children and works nights I do tend to keep alot away from her this bloody cancer we will not let it take away are positively iam on antidepressants I have been since I lost my mum since I was diagnosed I have seen my doctor once and that was for cream for my flaky skin am sure you want to know that lol lol he asked how I felt about my diagnosed and I said I feel angry but that was that he just said stay positive lol the main thing we all have this website to vent how we feel its a gods send thankyou for taking the time to let me know am not on my own xxx
