      Hi Kelly,

      I felt the same way when I was first diagnosed.  I was so angry and sad and frustrated and scared all at the same time.  I have always been the type to be super upbeat and happy and be-boppin around, so these were all new feelings that I didn't know how to deal with. 

      I tried talking to people, but EVERY person I would talk to would say "It's all gonna be ok", and that would make me even more mad, because I felt like they didn't know or understand.

      Anyways, the one thing that REALLY REALLY helped me was to keep a journal.  Sometimes I would sit up at night and just cry and write and cry and write some more.  It really helped.  I could put all my feelings down and just ramble on and on and get everything out of my system and didn't have to worry about what anyone would say or think because it was only for me to read.

      I hope it helps!

      God Bless,

      Lisa

      Thank you Ed.  I appreciate your well wishes. 

      I am not by any means trying to play doctor.  I'm a nurse, and I understand the importance of staying off of Google  🙂

      It just helps me to talk to other people about what is going on and hear their stories.  That's all.  🙂

       

      Thank you for your input.
