I dont think that you have come off as a cry baby at all. We have all felt and at times continue to feel scared, and lost and of course in pain. Its not easy but trying to stay calm and take one day at a time helps us in the long run to deal with this and live our lives the best we can. Having said that, I am not always able to do it,especially when something new pops up or i get the results of a test that show something i dont want to have. I recently got very bad news from a multi slice cat scan of my lungs that sent me in to a tail spin for a while. Im not happy with it now, but what can i do, just keep putting one foot in front of the other and hope to come out the other side someday.
