Stranger reactions and losing one's temper!
Had a new thing happen today. I woman I'd met only once before two weeks ago, and only to say hello, asked me how I was going (Chemo 3, death warmed up). I answered 'not awesome' and she said, grin...
Don't beat yourself up. You really are doing an extroidenary job just getting through each day and that's where your energy should be. I did a similar thing to one of my customers who was complaining about her day and it was the straw that broke my back. I was mortified when out of my mouth came .. ' you know, you have nothing to moan about ' I'm being treated for breast cancer and that's what a shit day is like'! .. Needless to say she was horrified , walked out with tears in her eyes to return with flowers and chocolates for me. .. I felt terrible but we are now friends :)
