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

Today I am feeling conflicted. Am leaving for a weekend away--alone. Nobody's needs to meet but my own. It is an experiment. But it makes me nervous which is really weird because I like to be alone. I think I'm nervous because now I'm going with all these inner children parts of myself that have emerged. And I'm feeling guilty about leaving my family to meet my own needs. And I'm feeling confused about my husband's responses to me lately. I'm afraid that some things I shared with him about how bad things are for me internally has scared him off into frozenness. He is a fixer/caretaker type and he doesn't know how to fix me. Am feeling very lonely inside my own existential bubble.
 
I am so frustrated that I am running into delay after delay in getting my C-pap machine, because the medical supply company is short on help and the insurance company is dragging their feet.

I am tempted to go to a different company except the one I am dealing with promised me that they would deliver and send a respiratory therapist to show me how to use the machine properly as soon as they can get the okay ...and they assured me that they hadn't forgotten about me.

Which would be hard to do since I have called and complained several times. Grateful that I can blow off a little steam and settle back into my routine. Guess these things do happen, I just wish they didn't happen to me so often. :confused:;):D
 
Today was another good day. I'm not doing cartwheels but I'm not crying or feeling like it. This is good. Hold on to the positives. Told my med nurse that the med seems to be working. We will hold myself at this dose, unless I start to feel like I am plateauing and or bottoming out. I hope it doesn't come to that. I'm pretty okay right now. I like this.
 
It is a mixed bag of feelings. I am having a anniversary reaction because today is the first birthday without my husband. I am fifty nine years old and my oldest granddaughter said to enjoy the last of my fifties. The family has a celebration for me later on today. So I feel sad and good at the same time. I really miss my husband. He used to get me ice cream cakes for my birthday. I guess I feel good because I had so many good birthdays with him. I sure wish I could give him a great big hug.
