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

[reckoner]

I am feeling super connected, happy and powerful.

I've felt a number of feelings today.

Energetic, confident, curious, annoyed, distrusting, sad, weary and creative.

Tonight I'm mostly feeling worn-out, slow, nervous, sometimes spacey, in some neck and back pain and generally unwell.

I'm feeling really exhausted today and tempted to go back to bed for a little while.

I am feeling strangely calm today which in itself is making me feel nervous :cautious:

Embrace the feeling Magilisu, it is not the storm before the calm it is just the feeling of peace you have in the now.

I used to think that something must be wrong when I felt like this, now I think I am glad for the peace in mind for a while and reach for that feeling now at times of stress. :)

It is almost like a form of meditation. :)

Our minds are supposed to be at peace and quite with no inner dialogue. Find things to see and hear that only makes you happy :)

I am doing this now, sod everything else it just causes confusion, upset and disappointment. :)

best wishes to everyone today :)

Saffy :)

I'm feeling anxious and sleepy at the same time. I didn't know that was possible.

 

[Ayasha]

Confused, conflicted, ....angry, and I think there is mild anxiety there.

I'm OK today.

I saw a lovely and very thorough lady doctor today who thinks my sinus trouble and headaches are allergy related.

She has given me some antihistamines and a steroid nasal spray. Also, she has given me some Gabapentin for the Restless Leg Syndrome and cramps I get at night.

So, 5 prescriptions later I am sat in McDonnalds drinking horrid tea while waiting for my Son to finish at the job centre!!!!

5 prescriptions = bankrupt!:roflmao: The lovely lady at the chemist advised me to get a 3 month pre-payment certificate which has saved me about £20!! I'm so grateful for her help.

y'all might understand this feeling of being "not allowed" to talk about your trauma

I am so aware of this. My family and friends don't want me to be "mentally ill", so they pretend I'm not and want me to act in accordance with their magical thinking. I go alone with it but it makes me feel less genuine. I am not normal. I do have scars that make me behave in a certain way. I did not choose this, and I am working on being the best person I can be but I will continue to me the me that I am, not the me they want me to be.

I feel the same but Saffy brings up a good point :)

I am taking it as a positive calm.

Right now I am feeling a mixture of disgust and a panicky sinking feeling to admit that I might have the victim mentality people have been ridiculing me for having for years. It's the one thing I never wanted to fall back into having, and I'm afraid I have. I thought my self-esteem was improving, but I think it's actually not that great. I'm not abusing substances though, and taking care of my body with food and water etc. and I know I am better at standing up for myself, and being assertive, but I think it is still there with me...which fills me with disgust and dread. I hate the "poor me" aspect. I don't want to be that. I feel upset to think I might be what people on another forum were always telling me I was a while ago. I didn't really see what they were saying, but my brother was also dissing me for thinking people were "out to get me". I didn't see how I was giving that off...but I might have been?

I'm confused now about it. Was that just their projections, or was/is that how I am really behaving? If I was like that, am I still, or have I actually improved from that period of my life? I am unsure.

I feel tired and agitated. I have been that way all night. I have been up for 24 hours. I want to sleep.
