monday was extreme up and down. Dreadful in the morning, felt unable to go to the support group due to all the things had to do to sort my benefits appeal. Ive rarely felt so awful. by the evening I felt different due to many complex things.and i realised a lot of things also. i felt good at that time, but was aware it may not last and that today i may feel bad as i have been there before.
today i feel bereft, as though someone has died. i dont know why. i wondered if it was because although part of me wanted to see my dad, i later realised i had come through so much without him, and he wouldnt have helped anyway. maybe my image of him has died a little more today after all this no contact. maybe its that im less worried about the tasks i have to do now so feel slightly at a loose end. i dont know. i do know i feel a lot of old deep pain, very close to the surface today. its too much to deal with today so i wont.
maybe i need time to transition from the panic i was in yesterday to the phase of things now. i dont know. im confused, hurting and want peace-but still feel wary that i need to get on with those tasks in case i made an error. maybe its the being caught between two things that isnt helping also. i wish i felt like i did last night.
