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

I'm agitated but calming down. My folks were over helping on some home repairs and I get so darn tense about dad throwing one of his tantrums. He almost behaved himself, snapped at mum a couple times but not me. He's been lectured enough to know he gets in trouble for bullying me now.
 
Yesterday was nice to have a break from hypervigilance being so high. Today started out good. Until I was asked to look at some pictures and saw a current picture of someone who abused me when I was a little kid for years. I hadn't seen him in more than 20 years. So tonight I feel hypervigilant anxious and depressed. Quite a combination. All of it is making me feel hopeless.
 
I felt morning anxiety. I felt depressed. I felt dissociated. I felt I should revisit the notion of full blown dissociation into a totally different lifestyle, although that could prove to be an imprudent, desperate thought to solve my condition and which no doubt would be fully supported by the mania of energy I can sometimes achieve when the dogs of anxiety/depression leave me alone for 6 months or more.

I feel that a leap of faith is required. But I feel than any leap done may well be premature without a full evaluation of the outcome and what state of condition my condition is in at the time. I just felt a little happy from the mindfulness that typing this out has achieved.
Albeit short-lived and I of course spin the negative truth that it is a sadly, unachievable permanent status of which I kind of used to maintain.

I feel I have blurbed enough and wish it could all go away with a snap of my fingers.
 
I feel like I am falling apart. I have developed a stammer which is so bad I shake and sit. This happened after I remembered a traumatic event. Not able to go to work today as I know talking would have been difficult.

I feel raw as the flood of memories and feelings rise to the surface. I wish I could push them all back down but I know that it wouldn't help.
