Good Times and Bald Times

I don't know what my deal is.  I feel so emotional lately and it seems to come on very quickly.  I don't feel especially sad, it's more like I just need to have a really good cry.  I don't like it.  I feel like I'm losing the happiness that I've been feeling so strongly.  Maybe I'm sad, maybe I'm lonely, maybe I'm afraid to tell someone new that I might date that I have a brain tumor (trust me, this NOT information I plan to share quickly), and maybe they'll get freaked out and leave.  Maybe I'm just super emotional.  I just don't know.  I want to snap out of this.




On a brighter note (and one that totally contributed to crying tonight), the Adolescent and Young Adult Oncology Program at Seattle Children’s Hospital released a series of videos a few days ago called "Good Times and Bald Times" and features 8 teen/young adult cancer survivors.  The videos are short and topical and talk about how they feel, treatment, losing their hair, mortality, etc.  I thought they were pretty interesting and could be helpful to teens and young adults (heck, anyone really) going through a cancer diagnosis.  Or if you're looking for a good cry, this may also help.  :)
