Wow, that was rough!
Today was a haaaaaaaard day! I was dealing w/ some serious resentment issues from yesterday. It was just one of those days where I was having a difficult time dealing w/ hubby's neediness. Heh, is that a word?! Well, it is now. I say so! Anyhow, yesterday was just one of those days where I was having a rough time keeping my frustration dealing w/ obligation in check. And it boiled over when Tony had a minor panic attack. Heck, it wasn't even an attack. More of a minor offense. But still, it had pushed me over the edge.I couldn't get to sleep. I tossed & turned & awoke about once an hour. Then I turned back on the A/C. Then I slept for about 2 hours before the next spell. So, I was tired this morning & moreover, all day long. The rage had gone unresolved. I spent much of the AM somewhat daydreaming (I say somewhat, because aren't daydreams supposed to be about pleasant things?!) about cutting myself. And I was flicking the rubber band all day long creating pink scars. They just wouldn't last, so I kept doing it. I wanted to SEE THE SCARS so that I could remind myself what kind of incredibly awful person I am.I calmed down pretty much by lunch time. But I was still pretty, shall we say, cranky for the remainder of the day. And I still wanted a goddamn smoke all goddamn day long. Fuck, I WANT A SMOKE NOW! When will that urge quit?! My mom said it took a good year for her to finally conquer the nic fits.I really need a positive outlet for my anger. Granted, I'm proud of myself. I work w/ scalpels all day long. But I resisted the temptation today. I didn't cut. I didn't smoke. I swallowed it up, which isn't good. But at least I didn't cut! *sigh* I'll figure it out one of these days ... I hope.
