Wow, this really struck me... what a struggle this has been for all of us. I did my best to laugh through it but my cancer jokes were met with shocked stares. My tears were met with "pull it together, a lot of people survive this". It seemed that nothing was the right attitude. I finally got on Zoloft and feel like it has taken that hard edge off my emotions and I am so much easier to live with. Not sure what the negatives are but no one has given me that "look" in a long time.
