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

[Chook]

Took the dogs for a run and a swim by the river this morning. It's an off leash area where they can roam and socialise with other dogs.

Was so relaxing and enjoyable watching them being dogs, having fun in the water and playing with new furry friends.

Only other people were dog lovers like me.

I'm feeling good knowing they had fun. Also feeling good I met like minded people.

This was hours ago and I'm still chuffed and curious I still feel this way.

(((hugs to you all))) Especially Deb!!

I am feeling scared. I am trying to get myself together and all I want to do is cry (doing alot of that) and hide. I will be so grateful when this passes. I feel like I did so many times in the past when I went in to the hospital, but I won't do that because I won't leave my boys. I am trying to hold on.

Wow, I'm feeling lots of good feelings, all except for a little error I made.

I had two browser windows open here and forgot I clicked something and went to do it again in the other window, and instead I think that I accidentally undid what I'd apparently already done, so I went back and did it again.

Nothing like errors to try and drag us down. I feel scared when I make an error. But so what for tonight as I corrected it and now feel too good to let this get me down.

I'm learning, always learning and needing to remind myself that: When I make an error, the world is not going to come to an end. Instead I simply attempt to correct it and then I move forward.

Feeling better then I did before.

(((((Hugs to all that need it)))) Expecially Deb and Froggie.

Still in pain, couldn't sleep kept rolling on my back and waking in pain. Drugged up and useless at the moment.

My thoughts are with Deb, as they are with all others hurting and suffering here. It's hard at times because I know I can come here hurting and ask the hard questions or be messed up and someone somewhere will give me a hand. I want to give back and it's feeling I'm not able to at times. :(

I'm tired, I hurt - fibro or OA is kicking my ass, just can't sleep, could just be full moon.

Took the dogs to doggie class, they thought it was great getting all those treats for practically doing nothing-HA! Great stuff! Everyone loved the Rudster, what a little nut bag. ;) Big Girl was showing off and enjoying herself too. I had huge issues with anxiety but I battle it. Just the fact I went is monumental for this agoraphobic!!

I feel alone, afraid, and a little overwhelmed.....

Outside of the immediate family there are no close relatives:
I have a younger sister, (who is planning to marry soon),
a younger brother, (who is permanently disabled and lives out-of-town in an assisted-living facility),
My mother (who is in the final stages of COPD) and
my father, (who is dying of cancer).....

I am getting older, (turned 50 last year), My parents are dying, my sister may be moving away, I have no "significant other,", my best friend lives in California, while I live on the east coast...etc

I am feeling a little weary of the journey right now...

I know, on an intellectual level, that I am not being abandoned, but in a very real and emotional way, I feel like that's exactly what's happening.

 

[The Albatross]

I am feeling brused and sore (accupressure yesterday was very rough).
I am feeling a bit of insomnia... husband tried to be quiet when he left to go hunting but I woke and couldn't get back to sleep.
I am feeling a little needy (and been staying plugged in here more today and yesterday than I'd like).
I am feeling indecisive (about whether or not I will help my MIL and be able to do so long term).
I am feeling a bit of lonliness but know that alot of us are too.
I am feeling a bit encouraged that my immunity and ability to absorb nutrition seems to be improving.
I am feeling avoidant about making a new resume to find a full time job.

 

[littlebird]

I'm feeling a bit numb and a bit anxious about doing my modules. I keep procrastinating over doing them, but I know the reasons why.

I'm also feeling sadness and anger (I always feel some amount of sadness and anger) but i'm also feeling self compassion, competant and secure within myself.

What a great exercise to do! Thank you

This is a good thread....it reminds me that I need to pay attention to how I feel more often. I tend to only take real notice when the feelings are more overwhelming despite the fact that there are still feelings going on the rest of the time too. Whether I post in this thread often or not I need to keep up on this exercise!
I feel weary
I feel needy
I feel useless
I feel a little guilty (I skipped doing my physio exercises last night!)
I feel loved (my husband tried to leave me to sleep in because I'm sick but I got up in time to see him off)
I feel sort of neutral....
Nothing is particularly strong today though. I'm not sure what's being affected by the fact that I've got an absolutely horrible flu. I'm a little divided today too, split between laying on the couch and playing video games or doing some of the cleaning that badly needs to be done. With husband is working today its a good opportunity for either.
OH, I almost forgot!!! I feel proud! I'm a horrible cook but yesterday I managed to concoct an incredible crock pot chicken stew (I even drove myself into town yesterday to get ingredients!!).

 

[AngelaMarie]

I feel relieved. I am almost done with Sunday dinner. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do it because I've been so down and depressed. I promised myself that I would cook Sunday dinner for the family like I had before my bio-grandma cancelled everything in my life (holidays and family time). I want to start a tradition in my family that will be there when my boys are grown and have families.
I feel hopeful that maybe the worst of the depression is over and I will come out of it a little at a time.
I feel old and disabled to a degree because I have so much pain from standing and chopping and dicing. However, it's worth it!

 

[bittersweet]

I feel lonely and am on the verge of tears. These are gonna be the last few minutes I have left with my husband before he's gone for a week.
