I could not help but respond. I think this change of personality comes with any real illness,, pain, or DX that we can't cope with. I lost friends, and family over my anger issues. I do go to therapy. Anger because I am not what I was before, and I was very very happy in my career. Never got over loosing it, but I have moved on.
Do seek council, it really helps to get a few more skills in dealing with pain, depression, anger etc. Come right here for support and new friends. ginnie
