Re: news. help me sort things out please.

I would never think you were a mess and dont apologize for being overwhelmed and upset. You are supposed to be under the circumstances! That's why we are here. To understand and support you. Vent all you want.
I cannot address the medical stuff but I would suggest having someone with you when you ask all the questions you have. Someone to hear the answers clearly. And are there any advocates on staff where you are being treated? Who can help you sort it all out.
Please be kind to yourself. And keep the faith.
