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

I am feeling like

Talk to us, we are here. Or better yet if you can talk to your therapist. Allow yourself to know it is ok to not be perfect.

Everyone makes mistakes, past programming tries to keep the hold on us. Please don't allow another to hold you back. You are doing well at getting above this.

You are safe here and not alone. You are a good person. I am sorry you are struggling, which is likely the PTSD. Breathe, repeat. Do some grounding, you are worth every bit of getting above these feelings. :hug: Whitney
 
@gizmo, I am asking the universe to jump in and help your daughter! The system is generally wise to her ex's behavior. I hope they resolve it soon. I do hope your daughter is communicating with the auto people. They really do not like to repossess but will if no one keeps them in the know.

I am so proud of you. You have come a long way.

Please enjoy the steps. You should not feel guilty at all. :tup: :hug: Whitney
 
I'm feeling rather sad and like a fool. I made it to church, but didn't take my wheelchair. The man who drove's car isn't big enough to put it in. Then I had some mini seizures during the service and it was almost more than I could handle to walk out of the building and get to and into the car. I waited until I thought everyone had left the building before I stood up. People had never seen me like that, and I'm embarrassed I went.

I kept telling the lady, "Push my leg. Bend it. You won't hurt me. But if I can't get the leg in the car, your husband won't be able to get me home." She didn't want to hurt me. Bless her heart, she saw how much pain I was already in. But she just didn't get it. When my left side doesn't work, people panic. That's why I normally don't go out in public when I'm close to this level. I should have stayed home.

I really over did this week. sigh. I'm embarrassed and ashamed of myself.
 
It is good for others to know about your struggles so they can be there for you and help you.

It is hard to me to swallow my pride. I"m not used to people caring enough to really do anything for me. They assume I'd reject them, but if they would ask me how they can help, I can tell them. It's when they grab me, or try to steady me that's scares me. It is painful to be touched, so when they grab my arm, I tend to pull away or flinch. That type of thing scares them. They want me put in a home. They don't get it, that I want to live in my own home as long as am able. I'm sorry.

These people would probably not say this, but I'm waiting for someone to tell me to stop whining. Or stop feeling sorry for myself. Or, get a grip. In the past I lived among people who did that when I was fighting my first cancer battle. Or when I'd been through major trauma.

Didn't mean to side-rail the thread.
