not a good day

Oh Allison my heart breaks for you. I know what you are feeling and going through, there is nothing wrong with a good cry, it releases the tension and pain, I am praying you feel better. Today is my birthday and I so hoped I would have a good day, not as good as I thought, I woke up coughing alot of mucus streaked with blood and of course I have "lung cancer" so I know how you feel. I am going to light my candle for you and I and hope by tonight our symptoms will ease up, do not feel alone I and many others have felt this way, you are not going insane, panic and depression can make you feel like that but you are not, I worry about that I even had a dream I was in a asylum!! Anytime you need to talk I am here, I totally understand and its going ease up Allison. GOd bless you, Debbie.

Not doing well today mentally, with discovery of a symptom and overchecking and researching, got myself into a little bit of a fit right now. All I want to do is crawl up into a ball and cry. I can't do that as my kids would be devastated. Just this overwhelming sadness and feeling of defeat ( and no this isn't PMS ;) How long can you go on having mental problems without going crazy for real! My kids are home constantly on summer holidays, and when they go to bed my husband is always around. I feel like I never just get a chance to sit and cry! Gotta always be happy happy happy for everyone. Maybe that's why I go to my therapist for $100 an hour. Just to be alone with someone who and understands and doesn't get freaked out by my crying. So truly tired of this crap. At what point do I get to jump in and truly enjoy life without my constant minor worries and a major panic. I was at a friends house this morning, saw that she was knitting. I thought "wow, at what point would I ever do that?" I've got way too many self help books, disease research, and soul searching to get through before I ever get to sit down and knit! It must be so nice to have your soul at peace and rest and be able to carry on with day to day activities that bring you joy and pleasure. And yes I know I am choosing this behavior, but it seems like I have little to no control. Yes, you can control your behavior, but its so hard to control your emotions. To just change how you 'feel', almost impossible! So emotionally exhausting to always think you're dying!
