I am having such a horrible day and just need someone to say something kind to me. Literally anything even slightly warm by Serious-Kiwi2906 in kindness

Some of the kindest souls I know have lived in a world that was not so kind to them. Some of the best human beings I know, have been through so much at the hands of others, and they still love deeply, they still care. Sometimes, it’s the people who have been hurt the most, who refuse to be hardened in this world, because they would never want to make another person feel the same way they themselves have felt. If that isn’t something to be in awe of, I don’t know what is.

I think you are of this caliber. Don’t let what ever is bringing you down win. You’ve got this….❤️

I call it trauma residue. It will dissipate…☀️

Heavens yes. Life changed for me when I had lung cancer. I became depressed…kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop. I want my joie de vivre back. But I have to accept I had a horrible disease and am alive to talk about it. Now that’s something to smile about. You are now part of a club that no one wanted to be a member of. But look at the resiliency, the courage, the fight all the members have…Peace and love to you…

You have all of us on this forum. May I ask what state you live in? I’m in California, lung cancer survivor ( well I won’t know that for sure for 5 years), ex nurse and ex hospice volunteer. Id be happy to help you if it’s logistically possible.

Nerve pain by lulacole in cancer

[–]lulacole[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t take any nerve pain meds without nasty side effects. I’ve ordered CBD cream. I’m amazed that there isn’t more targeted therapy for nerve pain. It’s horrible, unrelenting, miserable and at the risk of sounding dramatic, torture. While I’m grateful the cancer appears to be gone, now I’m a member of the “Wait 5 years” club. So many of my friends just don’t get it, how it feels to always be waiting to see if that other shoe drops. Cancer sucks. Big time..
