Hi Lisa I feel exactly the same way. I think we are angry cos we don't know why it happens to the people we love. I've been so snappy and stressy at work and with my friends I can't help it I just apologise and hope they will understand. Maybe try the gym or running? Or some breathing exercises like resting in for 4 hold for 7 breathe out for 8 really calms me down xx

 Hi Lisa and Helsbels, I have been feeling the same too. I too am trying breathing exercises and now giving myself a few minutes during day to try and calm my mind. It's a very difficult time with so many things going, I hope you find  a release and if not maybe on here will help.

Hello both, I think anger is quite normal to be honest - I would be more concerned if we weren't angry. Anger is not necessarily a negative emotion it's just how it comes out. I've started a blog, maybe try that and here will help get emotions out.

I think anger is ok when we have no idea what is going to happen and we ger frustrated and scared. I know my friends are avoiding me since I have cancer and that gets me angry but I think I should get angry about it

Getting angry is natural. Have you told your friends you feel they are avoiding you? My friends tell me they don't know what to say to me, but let me know they are there. Maybe tell them you feel lonely and isolated? 

I guess I have told my family and the medical field but never told my friends hoow I feel about the way I have been treated. Eventhough I have had a few for over 20 years I just dumped them thinking they were not true friends to me

Maybe you should contact them and let them know how they have made you feel? They cannot make it up to you if they don't know. If they don't make an attempt to make it up to you then you know who cares and who doesnt.

so true.....I have realized that the people I knew had cancer I might not of been there as much as I should of.....but of course when I see drinking alcohol along with pain killers it did cause me to react negatively to what she was doing
