[Excerpt] One of the things I found tough about cancer support groups was the tendency to focus on the positive in a way that sometimes invalidates people's pain.

How it feels when you open up to someone about your health/disability and they don’t care or trivialise your pain and fears “oh you’ll be ok!” I know you’re trying to help, that you think you’re comforting me, but sometimes I just need you to recognise that I’m hurting and comfort me or accept that it’s true. #criticalhit
