Laugh In reruns, and others helped me. And, no, I don't watch prime time TV sitcoms because I think they are brain dead and not remotely funny. Work, talk shop, chat about news and sports events, attend staff meetings, meet with clients, go to lunch, change the oil in people's cars, but do not burden your fellow employees with your problem. You probably have at least one close friend where you work, and that person will probably volunteer as your, literally, shoulder on which to cry. Meet with him or her away from everyone else in the work environment.
Tumors elicit emotion.
If you need to cry at work, go to the restroom or away from the worksite and have at it there. Don't have a crying jag in the middle of a working environment. This behavior does not serve you well and it makes them uncomfortable. People want to sympathize, but they cannot do it forty hours per week. Back to the Co-Worker page , if you came from there .
