Lately I can’t tell.
Right now I think I’m at a pretty good place illness-wise. I’ve been feeling better than I have in a while and it has definitely been a surprising (and much needed) change.
Although the price you pay for feeling better is that when you relapse or have a flare, it seems to hit surprisingly hard.
Anyway, the thing I’m contending with currently is my mood. It’s very up and down, and mostly, not the most positive.
I find that I’m reverting to anger a lot.
I seem to be asking why? about a lot of things, and I know that, that is the wrong question to be asking.
I would have to say that in order to understand yourself, you have to hear the anger. Similar to the expression 'it takes the hard times to appreciate the good ones'. I believe there is a lot of honesty in anger and welcome it from time to time - as long as I make certain I limit the amount of time I spend there.
ReplyDeleteThat, I think, is the tough part... ;)
