Nervous breakdown?-not for the faint
I think that I'm deciding against a hospital stay and treatment-and I know what this means.

I feel like giving up
I am feeling more sick than ever from the treatment and now am deciding whether I want to continue on with it. I feel so stressed because I know if I stop I may not have much longer.
