It's amazing how people will come up to me and tell me how good I look or seem. It makes me angry inside, but I do keep a smile on my face. I really try to keep a good attitude, but there are times where I get discouraged and frustrated.

I think it's really helpful to vent your frustrations and anger out to people who will listen without judgement or trying to "fix it".

I struggled with my faith for a while when all this first started. I was mad at God and angry that I had to change my life so drastically. For the moment I am embracing where I am and what I am going through. I feel very close to Him and it encourages me most days.

There are still days where I really feel sick and I get angry and frustratred. I feel bad that I get so angry. My husband and kids are understanding, and I am so blessed by that!

I'm here for you if you want to vent.
