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

[Tinyflame]

It's funny- I no sooner wrote that, and I just came across something written (wading through paperwork), written by someone who horribly does not (did not) understand.
I feel so thankful- it is a difference (the opposite), and I am so thankful a 'difference' is actually possible.

But for the first time ever, I don't feel 'guilty' or 'bad' about being 'different'.
Or maybe that being 'different' (isn't such) a TERRIBLE thing. It just is an 'is' thing.

I can't believe I kept it. But I know why, it was to try to 'turn into' the person I thought I'm 'supposed' to be- 'toughen up', don't ask (or need) help. "Get over it", deny I am 'how' or 'who' I am, despite the fact I don't know how to be anyone else.
I don't feel as badly for not being stronger, for once. Maybe it's even ok to be soft-hearted, even if others think you are weak or foolish or whatever.

Sorry for all the 'yapping', hugs to all who need them out there.

Got out of bed this morning, had a coffee and some toast laid on the couch and slept till 3.30pm this afternoon. Had my morning shower at 4.30pm, so tired So knocked out.

(((Loloma))), it isn't really surprising when you think about it. Look back on all that you have achieved over the past weekend it would make anyone tired let alone someone with PTSD. Just look at the photos on the meeting members off forum thread.

It is time now to listen to your body and mind, if it is saying tired then rest and nap. So my friend, snuggle down on the couch with kitty and take the time needed to recover your balance.

Goingonhope,

I am still practicing time management as well.

I feel a little weary but a lot better.

I feel like this 'telling someone the truth/ story" thing is not possible. I don't have it in me, or the courage. If I even think of it, my mind goes blank.
I know Anthony says everything is a choice, but I'm not brave enough for that choice.

((((Junebug))) It's okay if you are never ready to tell your story. You have to do what is best for you. Choosing not to tell is still taking care of yourself. :)

Thanks for the support. I'm not angry anymore - just sad and numb. I really REALLY dislike being triggered! I feel like a little girl all over again.:(

To all those out there - I lost track with my poor memory - I read your posts and I heard, understood and TOTALLY empathize with where you are. ((((HUGS))))

Today...

I am feeling better.
I am feeling tired.
I am feeling positive.
I am feeling just a little sad.
I am feeling just a little scared.
I am feeling like I am slowly, very slowly getting there :)
I am feeling an overwhelming love and compassion for my Beloved who is hurting so bad :inlove:

(((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))) to all that are sad and down.

Thankful of this forum, everyone is genuine and helpful! I have come to the conclusion that I wake in anxiety. I start putting on my mask and the player starts. Somehow I seem to control it for a bit. Then I get a signal, are all these warnings in a car necessary? Bing, anxiety; repeat! I put something in the micro, I know it is going to bing, I react. I don't feel safe outside.

Finally back to life. Lost a few days after my trip, was really tired. Feel good today out of bed at 8am and spring has sprung in Holland. :)

Temp will be round 18 degrees today. :tup:

(((((hugs))))) for all especially Alex as she recovers from her operation.
