I just wanted to chime in and say that this was true for me too...Originally Posted by Sheila
What “tipped me off” was that a friend of my daughter’s mother had been diagnosed with breast cancer around the same time I was in hard w/d. They were having marriage problems and my daughter was telling me that her friend has said her mother “gets angry very easily (outbursts) and she is paranoid about many things”. The friend has also said that her mother was on so many drugs due to her illness. They seem to know that the drugs may be the issue, but it doesn’t seem they truly “get it”. It is such a sensitive subject and I don’t know her well enough to just call and talk to her.
Anyway, the “paranoid” comment made me “rethink” some of my thinking and helped me see it differently. The "residual anxiety" began to lift at about the same time too so I'm not sure if it was the "chicken or the egg".
