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

hypervigilent, scared, will I crash ... sometimes dissociation is an escape route for me ... but the real life still is there with or without dissociation

Needed to edit this post. My grandmother died yesterday, and I was supposed to see her a few weeks from now; but on the same day a promising new relationship came into my life. Before then I felt angry, shocked, numb, but then I felt happy when the relationship began and have been through the entire day. My feelings are being complicated...

It might be because I haven't really had an opportunity to be close to my grandma because my grandpa pretty much blacklisted me and my cousin from family affairs for years, so it's less grieving but more anger, but the happiness pretty much eclipsed my anger.

Feeling depressed and discouraged. After a few good days the depression starts again. It comes from dreams, a memory popping up, someone behaving a certain way towards me. Even the holidays cause it...Mother's Day on Sunday. I feel so tired and just wish I could feel rested and hopeful. These days are so difficult!:cry:

I feel some trepidation but resolve about starting my day.

I feel some frustration about Mothers Day plans, but checked in with my mom and she's okay with the destination even if we don't know what time or who's going to be there.

I feel a mild headache but the house is open and the weather is really nice, I'm enjoying it in spite of the pollen.

I think that I can have a good morning, I'm bringing lunch to a friend.

I think that things will come together for Mothers Day or they won't , it isn't up to my husband and I.

I think that it will be okay today.

Extremely angry, pissed off, full of rage and stuff I cannot even categorize.

I am trying to calm down so that I don't punch someone.

I'm sorry AngelaMarie. I know exactly how you feel and am struggling with it right now too. The good thing...is that we do have good days. I remember not long ago when I had none. We need to enjoy the good ones in the moment and try to hold onto them. The other good thing for you is that you know what kicks it off. I can't seem to grasp the "why" I feel depressed sometimes and I find it so frustrating because I have no "reason" to be sad. The times when I know what set me off is a little easier only because I can fight it using the CBT skills I've learned.

Hang in there and look forward to the "good" days that you know are around the corner.

(((HUGS to all who need))) I am so sorry some of you are needing to climb up that bloody mountain again. Linking arms and sending strength.

I am feeling restful and relaxed.
Pleased H liked his birthday present - a biltong maker, thanks NH for the recipe.
Grateful I can see a future, and it is bright.

I will light a candle for us all to have peace and healing.

Depression won't leave me alone.
Feel like a messy heap of emotions.
Feel in pain from a headache trying to turn into a migraine.
Feel completely useless and unlovable in my present state.

Another one of those days when I have no idea how I feel and the question 'How are you?' nearly causes me to throw a temper tantrum. DON'T FECKEN ASK ME THAT I DON'T KNOW HOW I AM GO AWAY!!!!!!
