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

[Sandra]

At least I still have another very close net friend who is always there to lend an ear or a shoulder for me to cry on. And confided with him more then anyone in real or on the net.

Terrible triggers. Then suddenly everything really calm. Like I had come out of a really dark tunnel. I was almost happy. I was mellow. Have not felt like that for so long. It lasted a few hours. But just as suddenly darkness consumed me and I was back in that tunnel. Hit by another horrible memory. I had to run and cry in the bathroom. I am sad again and crying.

Hugs for Lizio and everyone else who needs one.

For me, the pain seems to come in waves like you described. Try to hang on to the almost happy feelings as much as you can and realize they too will come around more frequently and will stay longer. At least, this has been my experience and is my hope for you as well.

hugs,

Not certain what I'm feeling, just pleased with myself that I took baby-steps, one right after the other, throughout this day picking up momentum and really doing a really nice job of accomplishing tasks at hand. I didn't procrastinate for long afterall today and so I feel pleased.

Also, I feel anxious and restless to accomplish more and more. Mostly relaxed when I take a cigg break. And, uncomfortable now with having to stop, be and keep the company of another while feeling anxious and restless inside.

I do feel some hope and am appreciating some returned strengths, which I know I didn't generate, so I'm feeling thankful for this grace.

It took me several times trying to log on here a short time ago and then I was feeling nervous and thinking well I've gone and done something wrong, and/or I've been banned for being a clueless pain in the arse. On that subject, feel free anyone to tell me how much of a pain in the arse, I've been and/or am being if ever you observe such, and you just want to let me know. I'm serious, as well as cheerful, hoping someone gets a giggle. Tell me I have my head so far up my arse I can't see the light of day, and just why! I don't mind! Too often, I can appreciate this kind of insight. ;)

Always appreciate what's spot on.

Anxious, nervous; have to make a 2 hour road trip out of town and being a passenger in a car freaks me out. I have Ativan to take but I still get scared. .

(((Lion))) I'm with you all the way. The only thing I can say my friend is feel the fear and do it anyway. I have been relying on diazepam whilst H was driving on holiday. I think of meds/drugs as another tool. I am confident the time will come when we can go med free.

I am home from a lovely holiday. Life should be fantastic, BUT, I had panic attacks, I feel I am just holding on. I am so tired, H and I have driven so many miles. I am so tired I can't think. The holiday was good in places but ...........

I feel like such an ungrateful bitch.

Weird, I was sitting here feeling as if I am not gonna live to be very much older. I then realized that it's not a feeling but rather a thought . I did a little research and found that it is a common symptom of PTSD to think this way. Here is a link for those who are interested in this symptom.

Fortunately, I can change my thoughts to be more realistic. I then came to realize that I never did know how long I will live and I still don't. Maybe I will be around a long time. :)

Changing that thought has made me feel happier and more in control. I have now and that is good enough for me.

Interesting article Lionheart777.

I feel like I am slowly sinking into nothingness. Total overwhelmed with life's current circumstances, I can't think clearly, headaches, arthritis up in arms. I am sad, disappointed, hurt and depressed.

I did spend time playing with the puppy. That gave me a few moments of smiles and laughter. He helps me keep from giving up.

I almost forgot today would have been my late husband's birthday. :(
