What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

I'm feeling proud, happy, and a little bit of longing at the same time. I went out with a few people I knew and their group of friends and I was a little anxious that I'd be with people I don't know but it turns out that I had a REALLY good time. I lived in the moment and was happy the whole night. I was proud because I haven't done that in a long time but on the same tolken a little sad because it has been a long time since I put myself out there (something that I never would have thought twice about before).

I'm really happy that I know I CAN do it. I CAN go out and have fun.

But me being me I had to find some flaw. The next day I was asked to hang out again an I really wanted to go. I really wanted to feel that happiness again but I was in a poor way healthwise. Migraine and dizzy. (That's what happens when I go out) so... I guess that means I'm feeling sorry for myself? Wishing I didnt have medical issues...

Lots of conflicting feelings all at once
 
I am feeling betrayed by the work and by myself. I had 6 hours of sleep last night - which is pretty good for me - but I wanted more, like 10 hours would have been much better. I know it's not my fault and it's pretty much beyond my control, but I feel as though I am betraying myself for not getting enough sleep. And the more tired I get, the more I feel like I have betrayed myself.

I use to accept that the insomnia was there and do what I could to manage it. And I did OK with this. I have no idea where this latest emotional response to it has come from - has anyone else had an experience like this, and what did you do to cope?
