    Please take the advice
    Fionac, Please take the advice from all the wonderful women on this board. You are right, that we can not konw exactly what you personally have experienced or are experiencing now. However do know that we feel your pain!
    Just for today try finding your favorite song in the whole world crank it up to incredible decibles, cry, dance get really loud. Throw yourself one of heck of a party for the day. It always seems to take my mind off of things for just a little while until I can think more rationally.
    Remember that life is not about waiting for the storm to pass; it's about learning to dance in the rain!
    (This is one of my favorite quotes and I don't know who wrote it.)

    I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts,
    Edie

    bad day
    I have had 2 bad days in a row. It happens. Life happens. CANCER happens. Get help. Get individual therapy. Get on anti-depressants.

    YOU need to find your reason for living. No one else can do it for you.

    I am on an anti-depressant and in individual therapy. During my treatment and recovery I have learned that no one is there. It is very depressing. I am getting help so that I can enjoy life again. It will definately be a "new normal" which I am STILL waiting for. It's ok to feel sorry for yourself and have a good cry. Then take a nap.

    Then make a choice. Choose to be happy or not. YOU are in control of your life. If you don't like it, change it. I am...

    You're right...it's not all honkey dory in cancer land.

    Hi Fiona
    Just want to welcome you to the boards. I also am Her2 pos stage 3. I was DX april 15th 2009. I did the whole package deal. Let's face it, Cancer is a b----. You are 2 years out already. I am glad you found us. You are not alone anymore. There is so many of us here to listen and help if we can. We all have had bad moments, from time to time. Just hang in there with us.

    I feel embarassed now
    I didn't wnat to start any drama = (

    I have so much that I want to live for. Now you all know my past, and for a moment I was so scared that that was it for me. Especially after I lost my mom last year. And I didn't even getto see her. We didn't have the best of relationships but she was my mom never the less. And
    I guess it hit a little too close to home.
    I didn't mean to unload on you guys like but it just came spilling out, since I don't have anyone
    close that I can talk to. I would take it back if I could. My apologies and if I post anymore
    I promise I will be very careful.

    I am really sorry that you

    I am really sorry that you are feeling this way although it is understandable. I posted another discussion with regards to a discussion I had with my Onc. about post cancer treatment and how difficult it is for people to transition from treatment to post treatment. He also gave me a book to read - After Breast Cancer by Hester Hill Schnipper. This won't solve how you feel but might give you a new perspective on it. None of this is easy and I really feel for you.

    We don't have anything that you don't already have - you have the strength and courage that we have and also the ability to dig deep within and keep putting one foot in front of the other. You have to live for you and allow yourself to the feel the way you do.

    Perhaps seeing a counselor (cancer?) on your own, not in a group might help address specifically what is going on for you.

    wish you well.

    You wouldn't envy me
    I can relate to a lot of what you said... didn't have an easy up bringing either.
    Actually had a lot of adversities to overcome. When I got diagnosed I just felt
    anger... there was no way that I went through all that to come to a sudden stop
    now.

    My first thought was - but I am not done yet!!!

    I truly hope that this thread of discussion has not put you off from dumping your feelings here. I want to tell you that letting go of such feelings means to write and or say them and make them real then change can come about. I am truly sorry that sometimes it feels like people are judging even though they too are just expressing their own feelings.
    I am very grateful for one thing all these years I have done and learned from a very young age that speaking and writing are two ways to empty our souls of the crap we are often known to carry. My shoulders are big but not that big and the weight of the world can always be way to heavy for any of us.
    I too am sorry you have to go this alone but many of us have had people there for support and like many have said it can still be a very lonely journey. I am just so very grateful you have been on your own and not suffering the abuse you once did. That my friend is survival and you are amazing...

    Hey, dear lady! Are you feeling any better? Don't have time to read all the new threads, but just hoping that you are, and hoping you pop back in and let us know.

    don't be embarrassed
    Obviously, you needed to unload and this is the safe place to do that. I know how you feel. I was suicidal not too long ago. I went to my doc and got on anti-depressants. Cancer is a depressing thing. Especially when you feel all alone.

    This is the place where I don't feel so alone anymore...

    Hi Fiona, I've been off line
    Hi Fiona, I've been off line for a little bit, 1st I want to say, welcome. 2nd, do not ever feel like you have to apologize anything you say here. If anyone can understand and totally relate to you is us. We will do our best to help and not come across as judging each other. Im glad you are here today. Looks like some of us have had a similar journey, hard life, abusive fathers, but here we are in this country where there is so much help. Dont know whre you live, but I live in Cape Coral Florida, hope Im close to you, if not well at least you will have me here online with everyone of our sisters here. I too was dx Sept 2009 state 2, HER2, est & pro +,had lumpectomy, chemo and radiation and as I get closer to my 1st mamo and mri on Aug 30 Im scared to death. I also have been very postive and strong as can be, dont know what would happen if I would have a reoccurence, but I know that once again I have to fight for my 2 daughters. Please feel like we can be your family here. We really do mean it from the bottom of our hearts.
