I'm glad you feel better today, but don't beat yourself up for being negative or having a bad day! It does you good to get it out of your system, and to be honest I think it's useful for others to see. It's good to know other people are having down days and bad side effects. Last week I found myself denying some of the serious side effects I had after chemo after reading a number of people sailed through it without any problems. It made me feel like I was being a big stupid wussy girl for feeling so sick and whingey. The fact was I ended up in hospital for 4 days last week, I should have accepted the negative and called my doctor sooner.
I hope that made sense. I should have accepted that *I* wasn't ok rather than trying to be tough. I think you're actually doing other people a service to show your vulnerability and allowing us to share in the tough times. I hope you truly are feeling better today, and if not I hope you have some supports there to help. Big hugs to you!
