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

I feel broken.
I feel a fraud.
I am constantly crying.
I feel pathetic.

I had my appointment with a psychologist for compensation claim report for the court. It was horrendous. He hadn't read any background information. 30 minutes of being interrogated, question after question and not being allowed to finish speaking.

One question, why am I like this after 2 years, others recover from accidents within a couple of months. Why are you different?

Maybe he is right and I need to pull myself together. Feeling hurt and confused.

I feel a fool for not taking H in with me.

Maybe because we are better, and have hearts and souls; and understand pain and the profound impact that suffering can have on the lives of others. Sometimes, I think it is a blessing more than a curse as I found that I am able to reach out and make a difference where others are blind or just frankly too selfish.

Try looking at it that way KP, because that is what I see in you.

I feel ashamed of my frustration and frustrated by an issue I cannot resolve in therapy with a wonderful therapist I so desperately want to trust. I feel tense on the left side of my body and I feel like a stubborn brat because of my tense muscles. I feel afraid that I lost the integration I achieved last week because I don't feel so connected anymore. I am scared of the paperwork I have to put together for tomorrow's meeting to get food stamps and cash assistance for my disability. I feel guilty for asking for benefits. I feel like a criminal without a crime. I feel guilty every time my cat cries for attention no matter how much attention I give him because I used to give him very little attention.

I feel immature for feeling anything at all.
 
Awake way too early. Nervous about meeting with the psychiatrist. Finding myself in a good place lately and I just don't want to hear a "professional" tell me how "bad" I am. Need to stick to my own guns and believe in my own self. I have a bad habit of crediting others with insight they may or may not possess; and then up questioning myself to death.

On of my main problems, caring far too much about what "others" think and not staying true to myself. Will keep this in mind as the day goes on. I may have PTSD, but that does not mean that I am unintelligent or have less value than the next person
 
I am feeling very sick today. Pain in my kidney, chest pain, head cold. Have a doctors appointment this afternoon.

Had to drive 340 km return yesterday to see the doctor so I could keep my disability pension. The appointment was fine, he was nice and thought it was stupid that I was being put through all this trauma. Said there was no way I could work, with my physical illnesses let alone the psychological ones. Once again told I should write a book.

Trying to keep these chronic illnesses at a manageable level is getting harder the older I get. However I am determined to fight and beat the odds.

(((((Hugs))))) to all that need it.:tup:
