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

A bit more peaceful and it helps to have a plan and things to do. Steps to help alleviate a problem or address it through action is better than feeling helpless. Helpless equates to fear which brings out the "anger". So tired of anger being the "go to" emotional response to so many things. Wish I could just cry like a normal person, not days later after I sort through the crap.
 
Pleasantly surprised and super grateful. I was treated to an amazing home cooked plant based dinner in someone else's kitchen, learned how to play three different card games, received an introduction to chess by my favorite 10 yr.old, and was gifted a book on multiple chemical sensitives by the local author who wrote it. Had crossed paths with her many times before realizing she'd done such extensive research and wrote a book. Small world. Not to mention the impromptu long awaited hang time and hugs with some of my favorite folks. Yay, day!
 
There is a big anniversary this week. And I can feel it. I'm starting to feel like conversations are depleting or feel demanding. I feel myself resisting being around people. I feel myself getting irritated and annoyed when people want to engage with me. I feel myself wanting to withdraw and isolate. I recognized it today. I'm trying to be aware of self care because, I can feel it coming. Like the storm is about to hit. And that makes me feel anxious and angry too.
 
Some resilience and bouncing back (some) after being slimed by someone here; learning coping skills. So I too am also feeling calmer and more productive this day. Also thankful for friends and forum.

Oops - someone here - meaning out here in the city where I live.
