Last night my husband made me get out of bed, get dressed and go out with a couple of our closest friends. He made the point that I had not been out of the house in three days and hardly out of bed. They were a couple of really bad days, but I needed that kick in the butt to get me out of my zone. Today I am up, doing laundry, dishes, cleaning. I am actually feeling better. Maybe its cuz we know that my mom's cancer has spread now, we aren't just dwelling on the results. Whatever it is I know that he was the start of me feeling better. I get guilty cuz I think I take my anger out on him. I try to explain and say I'm sorry for snapping at him or getting mad and he says that he understands and doesn't take it personal but I think it would still be really hard to deal with someone like that. Why is anger so much easier to feel then saddness?
