@maureenz Firstly Hello!!! and Welcome!!! I think every single one of us who read your post totally GET IT!!!! Not one thing you said have any of us not experienced, felt or thought! So know it is so damn normal!! People mean well, but they dont get it to the complexity of what you just described. I hear you as I felt it easier to only tell on a need to know basis, I culled alot of friends i couldnt stand the pity. why?? how does that help? I prefer if you dont know what to say. say NOTHING! This is a great place to come and just vent or talk and even to learn believe it or not!
There are some great suggestions on how to deal with it, so just wanted to say we hear you, we get it, and its NOT time for you to put others emotions feelings first...this is YOUR time and I worked that out at my last diagnosis. I put me above everyone else and I of course was nice about it, but really? NO do what is right for you and just do an all points bulletin to them saying, you need to deal with this, thank you for the support and when I need it I absolutely will call!! Youre not going mad at all, hang in there!! Hugs Melinda xo
