Bad Attitude

I've been attending a support group and the therapist suggested putting a rubber band on your wrist, taking 20 min to "spend" with our negative thoughts, then pulling on the band to "snap out" and not dwell there. On the other hand if it's one of those times where it's not possible, just "go there" with a sad movie, or music that you can cry to. When I was having such days I found that honesty was, once again, the best policy! I made no excuses but would clearly state that I was having a bad cancer day or a bad attitude day. I would let them know that I would be happy to speak with them, work with them, whatever, when the nausea, fatigue, headache, dry mouth, or what have you had taken a break from annoying me! I found humor always helped in those situations.
