Hi Jacqui - you sound like you're still a little bit in a daze of where you are at and the road that you've been steered along.
Don't be hard on yourself! I've seen your kind words to others on posts. I think we all feel that reaction sometimes that outwardly we look fine but inside it is a turmoil. If you've broken an arm there is a plaster caste to indicate there is a problem but when you're in our predicament there is no indicator for others to be aware. As we all know people say some silly things thinking they are being kind and helpful but we don't accept their comments easily.
Be kind to yourself and when you're ready you will pick up something that will give you pleasure whether it be your brushes for art, the dog lead for a walk (if you've got a dog) or the knitting needles or nothing! It doesn't matter, it is when you are ready!
Have you booked yourself into the Look Good Feel Better program?
Brenda put up a post around her experience along with photos!
I read in one of your posts that you went to Moorabbin Hospital so you must be in Melbourne. There is the Think Pink Organisation that have yoga and walking groups, I'm on their mailing list so they send an update out a couple of times a month. They are in St Kilda Road.

I hope this isn't information overload but I thought giving you some options to get out and about with others may help you to feel your normal again and garner some support as well as all of us on here.
Hope that helps and please take care
