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

At peace...my son is sleeping on our sofa. It's always the best sleep, to have him in the same house. I take him to the airport tomorrow, and we have the morning togther. He's 30, and loves world travel. Heading for the Philippines. I'm not freaked out about it, and feel total peace. That is almost a miracle in my book!

Other than some pain, I'm feeling great! Two days ago, I had energy. That's awesome, as I haven't had any for at least 3 months? Yippee!!
 
I'm tired and wish I didn't have to go to yet another appt but this one is important. Blinders on and forging ahead. I hope he can diagnose and treat my stomach issues and why I'm having so much unbelievable swelling. Fear and anger are just below the surface but I also feel this calm I'm learning - these things are not happening right now so I need not feel them yet. Breathe.
 
I'm feeling sick today because I got a cold and my "red light" so my body is completely messed up. I'm also feeling somewhat strong today as it's my last day of work hell and I get to stick it to my good for nothing boss. I'm feeling a bit down as well since it's 3 days before my husband goes away for a week and I'm gonna miss him so much
 
these things are not happening right now so I need not feel them yet.

(((Srain))), this is so true and one which I need to remember.

I'm just home after taking an 84yo (she looks blooming marvellous) to the hospital. She has been phoning almost daily fretting in case I forget her (I've never ever forgotten her), if she will find her son, who was meeting us there, if she will find the fracture clinic, if she can have a wheelchair ................

She was in such a state. I eventually stopped the car, turned and faced her and said, 'you are not on your own, we will find the clinic, if your son isn't there, I will wait with you until he arrives, and finally the hospital has many wheelchairs'.

When we arrived at the main entrance, I went in to suss out where the clinic was. It was at the other side of the hospital, involving a long walk. However they explained that I could drive around and park right outside which is what we did. There waiting for her was her son, complete with wheelchair ready.

I suppose what I'm trying to say is I overthink so much and that actually sometimes things go much better than expected.
 
I have just been disowned by my mother and I can honestly say I am happy. After everything she's put me and my sister through it's about time she's out of our lives. According to her we are, "Bitches, and selfish (c-words) and are dead to her." This is all because things in my life have been so hectic for me that I couldn't get time to send a thank you letter to her sisters for a gift they didn't need to get me and I didn't call to see if her mother was ok after almost dying. Sorry but her mother never liked me and hates my husband so why should I bother?
 
Im feeling strangely positive and happier than I have done in a while - like I was in a very very dark place and somehow...without the help of drugs, without the help of talking therapy or anything like that...I just feel content. I have been worrying for ages about handing my notice in to my workplace and ok I haven't done it yet but I gave in my last sick note and Im no longer worrying about how I'll live...about feeling guilty etc. etc. I feel like in my mind I have made a decision and Im probably for once going to stick to it. I've been getting sleep and actually remembering my dreams.

Also, my narcissistic father told me a while ago he was going to live on the other side of the world and at first I didn't know how to feel...but it has dawned on me that, hey this is great!! this means I can relax..I can get to know my three half brothers properly for who they really are, not for the puppets that he has tried to turn them in to...he cant keep us separate anymore and he intends to go off for 10 years, which is great. I could feel sick and think why does everything fall into his hands? why is this man so evil and he applies for a really good job and gets it while his son is at home aged 19 depressed and not working, with PTSD like me. Why is it this fat self centred 50 yr old's life is taking off..in fact it's always taking off and he's leaving us behind. But no..it's not like that at all, I was looking at it all wrong! This is the beginning of the rest of our lives :)
 
Today I worked very hard with family finances, payments galore, phone calls galore work galore and a number of must do's. I felt everything from accomplishment to frustration to anger and anxiousness. I felt satisfied, reluctant, determined, motivated, overwhelmed, bewildered, pleased, naseaus, stressed, pressured and short-tempered at times. :whistling:

I also pushed for and did a number of other things including much that I simply did not want to do. Today, I worked, ...and learned some, :tup: and learned and worked some more! :O_o:

Now tonight, I am paying as I feel so darn ill! :eek: There isn't a beverage in this house to drink. :( I don't feel well enough to ride down the street to get something. :poop: Kids are in bed. I'm overwhelmed, weak and thirsty, :sick: ....and I have a stinkin appt. with the dentist first thing tommorrow morning for a crown. :confused:

I feel just so frustrated, overwhelmed, ill and ticked off. :(
