It's Monday night - Labor Day holiday - and I have a pounding headache and I've been crying a lot.
I just got off the phone with Cindi. I also spoke with my friend Kim this afternoon and my friend Tony this morning.
Here's the guidelines as set forth by this group of wise individuals:
1. Think positively;
2. Keep busy;
3. When Jake is with his dad, I need to focus on ME;
4. I need to reach out to friends - phone calls, visits, etc.;
5. I've faced the past 8 months with great strength and it is now time to move forward and live my life to its fullest and breathe, take baby steps and work to improve my quality of life.
Hey Cindi --- did I miss anything??? :-)
I called my therapist this afternoon and left a message --- think I need to get in to see him.
I had Breast Cancer. Breast Cancer did NOT have me. And if I can face that with the backing of family and friends, then I can face anything. Whatever this is that I am dealing with --- depression, anxiety, hormone-related sensitivity ---- whatever this is.....I'm going to kick its ass. Because my son, my friends and my family believe in me and I REALLY need to start believing in myself.
Thank you all for your love and support.
Doris
