I am real angry that my leg bones stab with pain every time I go up or downstairs. I live in a townhouse that has 15 stairs. I have to practice self control and plan my trips up and down the stairs. I did laundry and carrying the basket of clothes up and down was real painful. I get so angry and discouraged that the cancer has caused such lousy side effects! I have to save my energy to get things done and not waste it on being angry. I need to remember that when ya put a "D" in front of anger is becomes danger. I have to have self control and not make a bad situation even worse then it is. I
really need to work on this chip and not let it ruin my life even more then it already is!!!!!!-------Bunnypie

Can you not get help with laundry and cleaning from a health care center? Wouldn't your landlord carry up your basket for you?
Anger is a danger especially when it turns into a resentment.
The only self-control I have is when I surrender to my Higher Power and ask for help. As I like to say, "It isn't about giving up, it is about giving over."
Anger is a legit feeling, it is what we do with it that matters. It is how we express it and it is my understanding, that when we acknowledge it, it helps to defuse it, as long as we don't keep feeding into it. I don't have to act out in it today and have a hissy fit, I can pick up the tools of recovery.

The oncologist thinks I should be bike riding and exercising. She wants me to keep moving even if it hurts. I do what I can when I can. I am not sick enough to get a care taker or maid service. I have 15 steps to deal with and I plan my trips up and down. It is real symbolic that I have to work the steps to get things done and I think my Higher Power is sending me a strong message? My landlord refuses to put in an esxcalator so I am forced to do the steps. It is what is. Doesn't do any good to get angry just try to go with the flow......Bunnypie

Personally, I am not suppose to do stairs, that is how I got into Housing. I wondered if it would be better for you to move. I know it is an expensive thought, I have moved many times.

there are days when I can barely get out of bed to go to the bathroom. I am not in a position physically or financially to move at this time. I have moved several times in my life. It is easier said then done. To find a place and then to actually pack every thing up and unpack everything is a very over whelming thought. I guess I will stick with the easier softer way and stay where I am at for right now......
