What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

I'm feeling tired and in pain today. Yesterday I did quite a long drive, including on the nasty M6 motorway. The tension from that has aggravated my neck and shoulder pain.

Darling H leaves for Edinburgh tomorrow and won't be home until Friday. I am seeing my barrister and solicitor on Tuesday and H and I went through some paperwork which I will take with me. The photos are not pretty and always make me feel vulnerable.

To round it off, I am in work every morning this week, usually I only work Thur and Friday mornings. It is added pressure for me to be up, washed and dressed, eaten breakfast, walk the dogs and be in work for 8.30am.

I just hope I have the strength to manage.

(((HUGS))) to all.
 
I am feeling good. I did somethings today. I will have emdr tommorow. And I will get my hair taken care of on Friday. I may even call my daughter to go out for coffee with me. I have a busy week ahead. I find this helps me tremendously. Hugs for everyone that is not feeling good today. My heart goes out to you so much.
 
Today was challenging, but would've gone better had I not been shockingly mistreated.

Anyhow, I don't expect anyone to believe me as I convince myself that people when simply hearing or knowing of (Ptsd and/or suffering) they think that we are the ones which must be confused upon all things. Oh' well. I feel better in having spoken up about it tonight here rather then through omission pretend every wrong thing is due to me and/or is my fault.

I sometimes feel, like tonight, that my life is so f'n over and hopeless.

I guess I would call this fear. (Even though the majority of time I don't react to my feelings, instead I just recognize it for what it is ...an internal feeling). And, I'd like to keep it this way.

Anyhow, I feel afraid and sad tonight.
 
Goingonhope - I really hate that when people think that just because we have PTSD - that we no longer have any ability for rational thinking and that if we don't agree with someone - then it's because we are mental unwell.

People can have a mental illness like PTSD and have mental clarity. Whereas, someone may not have PTSD but be mentally unwell and have very poor mental clarity and judgement.
 
I changed some of the words on the list but I identify myself with these words and expressions. I dont know how to express all things at once, but this describes a lot of my feelings.. I would add a few more like this:

I feel scattered.
I feel exhausted.
I feel lost.
I feel numb.
I feel like a failure for my broken faith and trust in God and others.

No more.
