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

I've been waiting for awhile to get a haircut because I've wanted to do something drastic to reflect an inner change, but haven't known just what to do. I still don't, but getting a little closer. I'm feeling rebellious and empowered... strong... I feel like I've found some of my fight. I want to roar or just scream, which sounds like the most ridiculous thing, but it seems like the loveliest idea right now.
 
I have had the roughest past few days. Yesterday, I went to my daughters house for a visit, and took the girls home with me. My daughter gave me money to pay for a new PS3 player and the oldest girl hooked it up all by herself so now when they come over they can play video games and have one more fun thing to do around here. I try so hard to come up with things for them to do, but it is so hard to keep coming up with things fun for them to do.

Needless to say, I am feeling tons better today. I called a friend and got cheered up. My neighbor will come over and try to fix my closet doors that have broken and nail a piece of wood back that came off a door.

My insurance lady will come over sometimes today to get a life insurance policy for my daughter.

Next week I will go to my husbands work and have an appointment with the person who handles 401K deals, and put it in my name and take some money out.

So for today I am feeling pretty good. I hate the you have good days and bad days thing that comes along with grief.
 
Still processing the conversation I had with the neighbor's husband yesterday who no longer lives next door. I am feeling mad and also very sad.

This guy had no idea about what her first husband did to me. He would come over to the point, that I was going to call the police, but I was too ashamed about it and what would people think, so I didn't.

I just hope I don't run into this guy for a very, very long time and I'm glad her first husband no longer lives in town! Just so glad that I denied what he was telling me yesterday, so glad!
 
Feeling tired yet breaking new ground. Remembered the name of an attacker, not sure why this was so important but remembering has released a flood of emotions.

Not able to work at the moment as I need sleep. My contract finishes in a few weeks and not sure that it will be renewed. Understandably. Feeling vulnerable, weepy and emotional.

Feeling like a burden to one and all. Was told I need to find out what value I add. Not sure what this means?

Had a long session with my therapist today, explained that I wasn't sure if I should continue working, as it means I can't take my meds. Without my meds, I don't sleep so I don't function, so feel useless. With meds I get sleep..
