How Are You Feeling Right Now?

Not been feeling great these last few days. Low I guess. I’ve a lot going on and spinning a lot of plates to try to survive. My husband has been unpleasant towards me, I am trying to stay quiet so as not to trigger another nasty response. Better if I am subservient. I'm so tired.
I'm sorry your having a difficult time. I don't think being subservient is a good idea, though I appreciate you don't want another nasty response or want to get into a power struggle. You should consider seeking some local support if you feel that might help.
 
F*ck that sucks! Goddam. I would be way above my weight class if I tried to suggest a strategy, but it really seems like your lawyer might be helpful in setting up guardrails against your Ex making decisions. That’s just low🤬
i had to wait till late evening, but i got the situation fixed. Feeling better about it. Still feeling like i'm going backwards in treatment.

It would be inaccurate to say suicidal that isn't quite it but very much full of remorse and regret and feeling down.

Maybe this is jealousy but seeing people do stuff that I could have done if trained and not crazy makes me feel like shit. I could have done so much more with my life if I wasn't someone who was a punching bag for a narcissist that saw me as her stuffed toy and came from a long line of drunks who were crazytown.
 
I'm non stop with this new house. Lot's of things to sort out, have the roofer coming out next week (imagine that idea might send fear to @AvidFan :D), I'm trying really hard not to freak out myself!
The previous owners have agree to pay for the damage that the water leak caused from the leaking water tank, which is good. Though they did question when the damage was done, think they might have been trying to imply it was done between Thursday (getting the keys) and Saturday (moving in). I've done a diy fix to get the water back on.
I have not much of a kitchen, most of the units are older than me, so I had to throw out all the drawers. I'm glad the weather is okay at the moment as there is no heating and I've just one plug in old filled radiator, which is in my bedroom. Most of the windows need replacing as there all misted up and I've got a job to see out of some of the window at the view.
Also working on the jungle of a garden but I've been so busy, I've not felt suicidal for a few days, which is a first in 3 months. Still feeling really sad and miss someone.

I hope you get an honest roofer and not one that says you need a new gold slate roof for £50k 😂. I might need windows soon... Glad the house project seems to be helping you!

I am OK just a bit tired from overwork but following my no work after 10pm rule today. My hip /back was worse today than yesterday after sleeping but it's eased off as the day went on. I managed to walk 1.5 miles with only a few slight twinges and even jogged a few steps here and there without any sharp pains. The issues are annoyingly intermittent but should mean they're not severe.

The fact that I have a sense of purpose makes me have to stay alive.
That reminds me, I had a conversation with my senior Buddhist teacher about feeling suicidal, and not just in a passing mood, but all day every day.

She said that I would still be in pain, and even more pain because the dream of subjective experience would still be there, but even more disoriented to still exist but now I don’t have a body to keep me localized in space and time.

More importantly I would spread additional pain to everyone who cares about me. Goddam I want to get back at those a-holes who have taken advantage of me, not create a bunch of survivor guilt for my loved ones.

The first reason I am not so sure about. I really think that my existence ends when my brain stops telling my lungs to breathe. Nonetheless, she has been right about everything I have disagreed with her on before. I’m not ruling it out.

The second reason is more than sufficient, though. At least it has been, so far.

Back pain of any kind is a drain. I am glad it seems to be improving already though.
