I've been drifting badly all day and yesterday, but what else is new.
I haven't been in a good way since my mom's been home. When I was alone, I was able to relax and feel safe, I felt better. But now she's here and I am back to feeling tense, anxious, scared, and at the moment I'm back to being leery and dislikeful of her. As soon as she got home...passive aggression, comments, blaming, the usual. On august 1st, it finally went back to normal. I'm sad.
I decided not to follow through with that place if it meant I could only see someone once every three months. I decided to ask my aunt about that doctor she supposedly found. It's funny because the place I was gonna pay for supposedly took mine, but they only take the non-medicaid form. I think I've talked about this already. If not, then I suppose I can ask how often I see the doctor. I assumed if it's 97 a month, it's once a month, then. It's not terrible...but I need medicine now...
Though I don't regret learning to let myself feel negative emotions without shame, these days I feel like my anger is taking hold of me. In a way, it's like I'm regressing, kind of to like how I was in my late teens/early 20s. I had worked really hard not to give into anger and put out a better response. I know when I realized how not-good I had become, I worked really hard to stop thinking and reacting like that. I know I was suppressing those very negative emotions. I realized suppressing my emotions isn't good for me, but I don't feel like I have good self control anymore. Sometimes I envision myself getting really angry and doing things I wouldn't have done even at my angriest years ago. I don't like how I'm getting. I don't like that I gave the finger to the ice cream shop for being closed or how I exclaimed aloud in upset about it. I don't like feeling like I'm gonna blow up at people. I don't know how to control myself without suppressing the negatives... I WAs getting/HAD gotten to the point where I could still be mature in my anger, but being abused by that person and feeling poisoned for a while threw me off course. It's like some of my progress got reset.
I'm really trying to stay afloat even though I feel so unhappy around my mother. I was gonna make a complaint but I'm deciding not to write it. I'm starting to think sometimes it's better not to write it. It's just making me think about it more. I wish that's how it worked with the drifting.
