Where do folks go to just... vent? Is there a separate subreddit?
Recently diagnosed with stage 3c1 endometrial cancer. Already had first chemo, and just... well. I need to vent. My husband is great, but like a lot of guys he wants to fix things. My friends are similarly inclined and I cannot stand pity. Empathy is fine, but sympathy or feeling sorry for me is to me the most annoying thing. I just want to vent without anyone feeling sorry for me, or trying to comfort me. I just want to bitch and moan for a minute, to get that out of my system. If anyone has any recommendations, I would greatly appreciate it.
Update to add venting here, with your kind permission:
- I love coffee... tastes awful to me now. This sux in so many ways.
- I'm a programmer -- the neuropathy in my fingertips has increased my normal amount of typos in the code exponentially.
- My stomach is not at all happy, it's either full-stop or full-go, no matter what I do.
- Mouth sores are no joke, though the saltwater/baking soda thing does provide a little relief
- Since I also had a post-op blood clot they've put me on Eliquis, which makes me colder, and is also giving me bloody tissues...
- I'm sure things will get worse before they get better.
That's just the short list.. so far. I know y'all can relate. Thanks for letting me vent.
