Something’s not right

not coping

Re: not coping

thanks for checking in @NatureLover @Snowie and everyone following along.
unfortunatly i was given some really bad news today and im trying my best to cope with it.
Had a very big session 3 hours) with a team of specialists today so i am abit overwhelmed with all the information i was given.
i also had even more injection in my foot today and am in agony. im hoping work will be easy cause i think tomorrow will be worse before it gets better

Re: not coping

@outlander  I'm so sorry to hear that, I can't imagine how much that is for you to have to process. And enduring physical pain on top of it all certainly can't be helping either. 

I think when I have something like that, I give myself a bit of time, stay distracted or busy so that I have time to move through the shock before I try to process any of it. I hope you're able to find some quietness for yourself, if that's what's needed Heart

Re: not coping

thank you @Jynx it has been a long hard day. at least i have diagnoses confirmed but the news that comes with it isnt good.
i dont really know how to accept it when its flipped my life upside down

Re: not coping

@outlander  Yeah I can imagine, like yay for clarity but also now you have to adjust to this new information. Maybe it's not time for acceptance yet, and it's okay to have a whole load of differing emotional reactions swirling around at the moment. I imagine there are some adjustments and stuff that will need to happen too, it may all feel pretty daunting right now.

 

Sending many virtual hugs Heart

Re: not coping
