21. Low level anxiety

3 days...

The absolute worst thing about this (well, probably not really but...) is the looming sense of disaster or threat in the background of EVERYTHING I do.  Movies; fear.  Cooking; fear.  Reading; deferred fear that slams back when I come to, every few moments.

I can rationalise the threat.  Most women survive, actually the worst that I really should be worried about is a mastectomy, not much longer to wait.  I can even rationalise dying; we all do it in the end, no worry about pensions (and this actually WOULD be a plus - bloody polititicians in a supposed welfare state have a lot to answer for when the option of dying from cancer HELPS remove the pension worry), I've actually got some money to leave I, as well as finding her a replacement parent that she loves and would probably be better for her than I am.  But at the root of everything I can condition myself into is fear.  It's shit.  It is tainting everything I do.
