This reminds me so much of when I had the ovarian cyst that burst and my love was taking care of me.
*hugs*
Pain like that sucks, and I feel for you.
On the other hand though, I think that I learned a lot from the experience and that it really changed me for the better. I am much healthier now because it forced me to learn to deal with things and to calm the anxiety as much as I could and to stop with the self-hate, and to actually value myself and to have boundaries and to get rid of relationships that were harmful. Nothing is more motivating than the threat of level 7 to 9 chest pain.
What about you? Do you think it changed you, and in good or bad ways or both?
