Range of Emotions

Can somebody tell me why I feel guilty for doing the right thing? I guess me doing the right thing and someone faced with the possibility of 5- life could help. But that's not the only thing I've felt lately. I've been sad, frustrated, angry, worried, happy, grateful.... You name it I've pretty much felt it. Which is totally normal as I'm coming to find out but I need to make sure I'm not dwelling on the negative and that I'm focusing on the positive. I think it would help if I could sleep at night. The only way I'm sleeping right now is with a sleeping pill and that isn't so cool when the kids get up in the night. Poor Zach has to deal with it since I'm too out of it and then I get to deal with the sleeping pill hangover I get in the morning. I've tried to go without a sleeping pill but that just ended up with little sleep and a huge headache. I know with time everything will get back to normal or rather a new normal that I have to find. And most days I really think that it is getting back to normal. I am learning that the atonement is not just for when we sin and do wrong but that it can also heal us when we've been the victim of someone else's actions. What good would it do me if I just harbored ill feelings? I really don't. I'm not happy about it but I can make the best of it and hopefully someone will learn from what I've learned cause I've already learned a lot. Life really is good right now!!
