Hello @Chevvy.
I’m not all that surprised that the tears are coming now. Just because you are a strong person, and deal with other terrible situations every day, doesn’t mean that you can’t feel sad for your own situation. You’ve been through so much, your life has changed so much, and now that’s becoming painfully obvious in the physical. Whatever you might’ve been suppressing, wants to be suppressed no more. It needs to come out. This isn’t about your clients or anyone else, it’s about you. And your right to feel sad and shitty for whatever reason you want. Even if it is about your hair falling out. Mind you, that’s no small thing. I think one of the first things we think about when diagnosed is chemo and our hair falling out, and it’s terrifying. Lost identity, a very different you in the mirror, realisation of what you’ve just gone through...I’d cry too.
We shouldn’t compare ourselves to others. We all have our own problems, and to us they are big, and we have the right to cry as much as we want, and feel weak, and afraid. And have someone comfort us. Sending you big hugs 🤗🤗🤗
