Anxiety and depression

Hi Ruth I am so glad you came into my group-making me feel useful! I have to say that I know exactly how you feel, when you get the idea that others are jealous of you. It seems that if you show anything that resembles fortitude and strength and positivity, & they have a problem with that, then of course they're envious, because they wonder where the source of your strength is when they clearly can't find one of their own. I've also found, it's a bit childish, but some are envious because we get such amounts of care and attention when we're having our treatment. Then there's something else that really irks me ( while I'm doing a little rant!). We dress up, put our makeup on, trying to be positive after all our horrid times and treatments, and.....I gosh! We must be better now! Yep! My thoughts (I'm not qualified to say "advice") are that you should have a mantra for yourself that you have reached this far by yourself, can learn to ignore and not be with people who are too negative, & continue on by being ourselves and being positive, in the sureity that its just right for your situation Hugs to you Kathleen xxxxx
