Ok.....im 5 months post stem cell transplant. One thing i hated was people always being positive and saying be positive, grateful, blah blah. You are going to have shitty days, feel down, depressed, angry, just not in the mood. THATS OK! Feel what you feel, dont hide it. This is a traumatic experience. In our support group at Memorial Sloan we say "Its not up to you to manage everyone else's emotions and feelings".

Dont wallow in it but dont suppress it either.
Crying is healthy. I hardly ever do, but when I do, I always feel so much better. It helps to feel what you need to feel and move on.
Fake positivity is the worst.
