Chrisy:

Having tears and a meltdown can actually be a positive mental health experience if you can understand why you came to that point. I don't think you came to the point of tears for no good reason. Ask yourself some probing questions.

Did getting turned down mean fear or frustration to you?

Are you angry, fearful, or frustrated about getting turned down for your medication or is this an accumulation of a lot of fear and frustration that has built up over your whole ordeal?

What does being turned down for the medication in this instance mean emotionally in the long run for you? How is this going to affect your future?

You may find that this episode is a whole lot more than just getting turned down for one medicine. It may be that you are buried under a mountain of traumatic stress. If it is, then you may wish to consider a visit to a cancer counseling center and they can help you deal with the traumatic stress you have been living under for so long.

Chrisy, please take excellent care of yourself. We are on your side. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.
