I got all dressed up drove out to a friends for a Christmas party and just couldn't bring myself to go in, I can't remember feeling this low ever,Well, thought I was doing better, I have been so depressed today, I am feeling sorry for myself. I know that's not a good trait, but it does happen at times. This whole skin cancer thing has me totally freaked out. I saw picture of people who have had the MOHS surgery some weren't bad but some were terrible. Having a scar on my face is not what I need to help my self confidence, right  now. As it is, it seems to be at the lowest that I can every remember.I really need to snap out of this rut, I will try to find a new counsler after the holidays.

Oh sweetie, you will be just fine. Please don\'t be so negative in thought about the outcome, worrying will just make things worse. When it\'s all overwith, you\'ll be asking yourself \"what was I worrying about??\" I\'m sorry you didn\'t go in and party with your friends. It would have been good for you to be with them. YOu take good care of yourself, K? hugs and love to you during this time.

I feel that way sometimes, as if it\'s just not worth the effort it takes to smile and make conversation. I do my best to make sure I am not a hermit, and I do think getting out a little does help. Hang in there.
