A humble return
Since that post i started seeing a counselor. Shhh, cuz nobody besides you ladies know this...we dont want it getting around how crazy i am...lol! Well of course ive been telling her about all you ladies here on this site and how great it is...well it came back to bite me on the butt sorta speak cuz she asked me the same question you ladies did "why would i leave"?
Well hears my reason, the most obvious was cuz of my state of mind...only seeing the negative at that time and not any of the good.
The main reason was cuz if i would have unleashed my insanity on you ladies this board would of been flooded with all my personal garbage and alot of unstable raw emotional feelings...this would not of done anyone any good. Already you ladies have seen me go thru some issues but now im getting the help i need for those issues and it seems to be working. But i didnt want to bring all that raw negativety to the boards cuz i like being happy and i dont want anyone to stop reading my posts cuz im a downer all the time.
Now with that being said, my counselor said i needed to get my butt back on this board! So i humbly return with my tail between my legs and my ears back and flashing my eyelashes!
So the deal is im doing better yet i can give myself whiplash on my moodswings/emotions so please dont be offended if i dont respond to some posts for now. Im just responding to the ones that fit my emotion/mood at that time. I will try to turn my negative issues into something positive (although it may not always work) but i still need your support.
Good thing is im tryin to get back on track and im feeling some spunk coming back...woo hoo!
But thanks again for being so understanding!

Welcome back!!
I also don't post often but read every day. My problems seem small compared to what others are dealing with, but I do find support in reading advice and support to others. No one can be upbeat ALL the time. Even before the big C we all had "down" days. Keep working with your therapist and remember we're all here for you, whether we post or just listen in.0 -

It's great to see your smiling face again I'm glad you're back. I totally understand seeing a counselor - I saw a psychiatrist, psychologist and then a therapist over the past 10 years. They helped me and I'm glad yours is helping you. We understand your emotions re "c", lymphedema, etc. You're always welcome to vent here.

We are your family, we get it, and we will never, ever judge you or not want to hear what's going on with you--good or bad. This board just doesn't feel right without you. I'm glad you're seeing a therapist--I go to therapy once a week and I love it. I never want to stop!
I realize there will be ups and downs, but that's okay. Post when you feel like it--and take a break when you need to, but come back. We'll be here waiting.

Hi Jo Jo, I did read your post where you said you had to take a break. I didn't post at that time because I would have said, "Take a break" and it might not have been the right answer. I myself had to take a break for awhile, several months actually, and get recharged. I found myself not able to cope, uninterested and couldn't think of any positive things to say, mostly because I just had too much on my plate at the time. So I truly understand what you were saying. I'm so glad I came back and glad you're back here too. Welcome back to the pink sisterhood, even tho you never left. You're always such a bright light and we enjoy your company.0 -

JoJo! Love that smiling face! Listen I think you are awesome for worrying that you might be a debby downer but really.......girl we can all do that here and that's why this site is so wonderful. I get it though that sometimes you will just read, that works for me too when I fear that my big mouth might get me into trouble
Love that you're back and whenever you do post, it will certainly brighten my day no matter what the topic is!
Hugs,

Glad to see you back. And no tails between legs, ears back etc. You did what you felt was right at that time and now you are doing what is right for you now. I don't always post to subjects. Some like chemo and hair loss I have no experience with, others I am not sure what to say. So post to those that you feel you can and ignore the others. I also very glad that you are seeing someone to help you through this. There is so much that comes with cancer and then there are our ordinary issues that can all wrap around each other and make a bad situation just intolerable. So welcome back with open arms and open hearts. We are here for you. Vent, cry, rant, celebrate, be joyful whatever makes you happy.
