I am approaching the 1 year mark of dealing with PCS, and I have experienced a lot of anger. I am generally a cheerful person and a lot of ppl think I still am, and so are surprised when I am grumpy or cynical, etc. But I have decided I can't be angry all the time. On the same note, though, I think I have earned some time to be cranky and angry. So my compromise?

I give myself 2-3 times to be angry every week. 2-3 times where I let myself just be ****** and cranky and annoyed. And I set a time limit and when the time is up, I make myself "get over it" and remind myself that things could be worse, because they CAN ALWAYS be worse!

It helps to a certain extent I guess. But it's hard. You guys know that.

P.S. for anyone who is not squemish (sp?) I recommend the ABC documentary series Hopkins. It is on ABC.com and it can be a good reminder of what else is out there-- warning, though, it is kinda sad. It follows doctors at Johns Hopkins
