@Former-Member
I'm sorry if you found my post distressing. Please accept my apologies. I was very distressed too. I find I no longer tolerate excessive noise and light. I have to distract myself significantly as I all wanted to was bolt out the door. Again I'm sorry that my post distressed you. I didn't intend for that.

I am so sorry for your distress today @Emelia8 and I don’t find it silly at all. I want to drive you next week.
I hope you’re safe in your bed and sleeping soundly my very precious friend.
I am so glad you arrived home safely.
Big hugs

Dear Em, all I want to do is reach through the screen and give you a hug or ten. Your reaction was not silly, not in the slightest. You are such a brave woman sweetheart, you got yourself together enough to continue. I can tell you now that I know I wouldn't have been able to do that. I just can't find the right words or any words right now. Sending you some light, love and strength. Love you @Emelia8

I'm with you @Emelia8 you cant hear or see me, but you can feel me holding your hand and giving you a big warm hug when you need it.
I know this treatment is brutal, but we are all with you - only a tag away 💖💖🦋💖💖

Dear @Emelia8
Glad you got home eventually, after having helicopter distraction.
The self love of metta or other spiritualities are not selfish at all. It can take time to learn to apply the sensitive consideration to yourself.
In a way your triggering response was rational given your history and all the trauma around the past and the current experiences. The new trauma (cancer, naked vulnerability, strange people in an invasive situation) feeds into the old trauma. It is a natural biological response of cascades of chemicals in the brain. Be kind to you. I am glad you dont have to do so much to and fro next time.
It takes as long as it takes to calm down after something like that. This next year is time for LOTS of COTTON WOOL cushioning YOU. You have nobody else to worry about really. The hubby should be getting his own family and council care and so should you.
Gentlest of Hugs.
