@gbnana Not everyday will be an "up" day. You're allowed to feel the way you do, no matter what others may say. Reach out to a trusted friend and get that yummy treat! You deserve it!.

As a fellow introvert, without the surgical you have gone through [five days ago!] I understand the not wanting to be burdened with putting out energy you need for yourself and healing. Tell those well-meaning people, that dr has ordered you to take it easy, and severely limit your exposure as you recover. They may respect that.

And, life will get better.....
