It's been a little while, but I'm back. Today, let's talk about ANGER. I have to write it in all caps because that's how it feels building up inside of me, every day.
I'm angry at my husband for either no reason at all, or for the stupidest reasons - just searching for a reason to start a fight and feed the angry beast that is me.
I'm angry at my family and friends for not understanding what I'm going through. Sometimes I'm angry at people for caring too little, other times for caring too much. Again, none of it is logical. All of it is just to feed the angry little gremlin inside of me.
I'm angry at my doctors (except one) for being less than helpful. This may be one of the only pieces of anger that I think is logically placed. That's a story for another time, but again my anger beast is seething.
It would be great if there was a way for me to channel this anger for good, or even just productivity. There's not. I'm on so many sedatives, I can't do anything except seethe and sleep. Not a winning combination.
When I'm not on sedatives, I go into panic overload. Don't worry, everyone has asked me if I think I can get by with no sedatives, less sedatives, etc. They want to help. They think they have the magic cure or mix of drugs to help fix all of my woes. They don't. I don't. So far, my doctors don't.
So, I sleep. I seethe. I become this mean weird, gremlin version of myself that doesn't care about anything that I used to.
I work day after day to find one shred of the old me. I struggle to find one thing I can have an iota of passion about.
But in the end.... I sleep.... and I'm angry... and I try to remember to drink tea... and to take my medicine.
And I leave you with cats.
