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

Am filled with mixed emotions, at this moment. It's after 1 am EDT, and I can't sleep, which angers me, with the Daylight Saving Time coming into effect, yesterday. It throws off my sleep pattern for the next 2-3 weeks, before my body can adjust to it. Contented, as I have a 5 month old kitten sleeping on my legs, as I type this out. Excited, my ability to write out my thoughts has returned, as the bitter cold winter, here.
 
Very angry with my mother-in-law telling me to "move on" and "get over it" yet again, and telling me that my son's OCD and panic attacks are due to me being "overprotective". This from a woman who thinks bullying is good for you, the more the better, who thinks you should never pick up a crying baby, and who drove my husband's brother to leave home and live on the streets at 16 years old. She never even bothered to look for him or make it right, it was "his own fault". In her world, my husband is the "golden child" therefore if something's going wrong, it must definitely be me. GRRRRR. I normally can just let her crap go over my head, but it's got to me today.
 
I am feeling so happy. Today as a family we have been celebrating daylight savings day. We all went clothes shopping and my daughter picked out a purse for me that I love. I bought a few things and am going clothes shopping tomorrow after my psych appointment.

My daughter has been arranging my valuables around the living room and told me that this house is my house too.

I treated everyone to Mexican food. Yum.

My family is celebrating things a lot around here. We are very happy.

@Hope4Now - re. the lady you talked to and shared with - I've noticed that sometimes I can seem to tell who is likely to be safe to talk to based upon their emotional responses to various issues. It's hard to explain but that part of me hasn't been wrong yet... I don't often do that though.

One person I know at work, I'd had a thought - maybe he's a survivor - he's very smart, together, and good at his job, no one would guess anything like ptsd; it was something gut-level that at some point made the thought popped up. Sure enough...

I realize that last sentence makes it sound like we're damaged goods or not likely to be good at our jobs due to ptsd - it's how I feel about myself, not everyone else here... which I guess is "normal" too...
