i have memories... but i think they might be wrong. i haven't told pdoc about these, because i dont want to lie.
anyway. just having a mope. i'm in a mopey mood these days  . |
You're not a wuss, your feelings and your pain are valid. If what you went through wasn't "enough," then you wouldn't be in pain. Your pdoc cares about you. I know he didn't mean it like that. Maybe you should tell him how you feel about what he said? Sometimes having people explain what they mean can relieve a lot of worry.
