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

[71nothing]

Dreading tonight because I won't be able to sleep which will make it a very long night. I won't be able to sleep because I can't stop doing things. If I stop my mind races and I haven't been coping well with those thoughts lately so my mind copes by kicking me into a hyperdrive kind of state.

Sad because of my parents declining health and the stress related to caring for them.

Accomplished because my active state allows me to complete many things I can't normally do.

Somewhat detached and on autopilot but able to ground myself.

Disappointed that my therapy session tonight was cancelled tonight due to weather because we've been on a break and I have had a hard time holding things together.

Which post are you referring to?

It was the post about the affirmation, and I can't find it. I was not asking those questions! I think you are wonderful!! I meant when people ask you questions that you don't want to answer, you could say, "Why do you ask?", or "How do you expect me to respond to that?" I'm so sorry about the confusion!

Sad. And confused. And confused about being confused. The father of one of the people who abused me.. who was almost like a second father to me.. died this morning. I'm glad I have therapy tomorrow because, I'm.. like.. lost with how to feel about and process this.

I have had enough. I went to the doc's with a list of my 7 main problems - yes 7. She tried to help.

1/ We had a good chat about how to develop the communications between me and my dad / brothers. This was helpful.
2/ I tried to explain why I never feel safe at work - think she might be starting to understand, or not. Can't tell yet.
3/ I told her about reaching out to friends and she looked pleased that I was doing this, then said that it is a good thing.

In some ways she seemed to think that if I am patient, everything will fix itself. Yeah, right. Maybe I have gotten it all wrong. Don't know. Came home and crashed. Now I am feeling really low again.

need work, need work, need work. Or I won't be able to pay the rent.......

I feel validated. When I told my doctor what I did this past Saturday, he told me my heart was in the right place, but I need to remember that my body just can't do all the things I want to do. He acknowledged what I'd done was good, but not very bright. That made me feel good (for the most part).

Bright is not the right word. Intelligent is the correct word. I must learn to use the correct word so humans can understand what I mean. Sigh. I'm learning, and thank you for putting up this tread. It helps me to learn.

(((((((((((((((((((HUGS for all that are struggling)))))))))))))))))))))))

Today I feel utterly exhausted and irritated. I lost it last night in front of the kids. I'd just had enough. My husband is not getting any better and I've been doing all of the work in the house and working full time for a whole month. It's a lot of pressure. I want to be graceful about this situation, but sometimes it just too difficult.

My first thought was GROUCHY, which I didn't think I felt, so I was confused. Then I remembered that my dog came into bed with me and I didn't feel like being in bed with her so I got up. HMMM... I guess that is a grouchy sort of feeling, not wanting to be around anyone, including one's dog. However, sitting here at my computer I feel fine, not really grouchy that I can tell. But if I were to even think of going back to bed, I get grouchy again, so I guess it is true in a way.

My dad used to always be grouchy in the mornings, so we made it our business to stay away from him until he'd had his first coffee at least, but better yet until he'd finished all his coffees and was up and about. He liked to read the paper while drinking his coffee, so I can imagine reading while trying not to hear noisy little kids was tough on him. I can relate now.

I love the quiet and silence, I thrive best when it is totally quiet, just the almost silent humm of my computer... that I love. Or maybe a fan running, which covers up minor other noises.

Hesitantly content? I think I'm ok but haven't yet put any demands on myself!

I am in pain and tired.

2 suspected frozen shoulders is not fun at all.
