Yes, I know what you mean. I don't know what I want or need either. I think I want to be alone, but I'm not sure that is good. Being back at work has been hard. The schedule is good I guess, but I am exhausted. Today was exceptionally busy and stressful and I was tired before I even went to work. I feel so selfish several in my family have said you are back to work and everything is back to normal. O would love for it to be nor.al, but I don't think my life will ever be normal again.

@cmb2022 I agree with you. Going back to work only means you're back at work. It doesn't mean anything is normal. One of my co-workers asked me how I was feeling today. I was at first startled by the question wondering why she was asking me that and then realized why. I was out for 6 weeks when I was in Rochester for radiation treatments. I told her I was tired but doing basically OK. She replied that it was nice that I was back. That comment meant so much to me.

You had a really busy day and I'm thinking you need this weekend to rest. You're allowed to be selfish for your own health. What will you do for yourself this weekend?
