With your attitude I'm sure you will get to the bottom of this "thing" so here's hoping you resolve it quickly.

Anger has and I'm sure will still be a regular emotion for me and I'm sure I'm not the only cancer survivor who experiences it on a ragular basis. Unlike you, I thought I could handle it so I didn't talk to a psychiatrist, counsellor or therapist. It wasn't until I was three years past my diagnosis and felt so totally alone that I decided that I needed to speak to someone.
I now see a therapist every month and can honestly say that it has done me a world of good. Bravo to you for recognizing that you may need some help to re-organize your thoughts.
I, as well, admire your truthfullness and honesty in sharing this with us.
God bless you and your family.
Cheers my friend,
Mike
