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

((((((((((Sheila, Greenfrog, Spiderallis))))))))))))

Today I feel happy to be alive. I went dancing last night and that always lifts my spirits.

Have a healthy day!

I spent $450 on GROCERIES last month

How do live on what's left? If I paid that much I'd not be able to pay my rent or my bills. (((( Sheila )))).

I am feeling together. I am finally coming back into my body after last year's little episodes. It started with a stalker, and then, when I was healing from that, I got trigger October 6th, and had a bad fall off a bridge, which was never treated properly. Now that the mental part is coming together, I am healing from that, even though I over did a week ago Thursday, again on Saturday, and then again on Sunday. Sigh. Even though I'm in a lot of pain just now, I'll heal from this.

LOL. Don't you just PTSD? NOT. I wonder if there is a time when the body, mind and spirit are all healed at the same time? Before we die, lets hope.

Not much. Grateful for not having that badbadbad anxiety from hell, and no flashbacks. But I guess I've numbed out a bit. (but it feels like resting a bit..)

I am so frightened that I have left it far to late for any of these things to ever happen.

I am so sorry to hear your sadness GreenFrog2.

It is never too late and they will see that you are genuine when you do. Do not fear their reactions but do what you feel is the right thing to do :) (too late is when it is impossible for you to do it, after all what have you too loose, write to them if you find it hard to say in words)

Be strong it will be worth it in the end. :)

Best wishes
Saffy :)

I am tired of everything and everyone both physically and emotionally. I'm not having a good day. Perhaps a nap will improve my outlook.

I went to the store today and found what looked like the price said 2 for $5 for 2 bottles of juice, but when I got to the checkout, the register said $8.50 for the two. I made a remark about what it said in the isle, and the bagger man went back to check, he said no, they were $8.50. SO I persisted, saying that I knew what I read. He came back with 2 OTHER bottles and said these were the ones. I said, fine, ring those up. She did and it came out to the $5.00. I think I know now why my grocery bill was so high. I need to read the price labels VERY carefully! Trouble is, I get a ride to the grocery and cannot take long to shop, because she cannot wait long for me. SIGH...

I get a ride to the grocery

Since I've only been able to walk since last October, I've only been to the store myself a few months. I can only go once a month. Other than that, I've had to rely on my friend to shop for me. The problem with others shopping for me, I tell them how much money I have to spend, and what I want, They get what they think I should have at whatever price they deem fit.

For example, I wasn't paying attention to what she put in the basket. I ask her to go to the milk isle and get some unsalted butter, low fat milk. She brought me salted butter, and regular milk. Now, this month, my ankles are swollen and painful. My stomach is not doing well. I can't afford to have her go back and get what I wanted. I live on disability, so I have a very tight budget.

Now, this month, I won't be able to go with her, so who knows what I'll be getting. I'm just grateful she is willing to shop for me.

I am feeling so much better today. I will hook my husband up to the cell phone and run my errands and have fun. I will take my time. My husband keeps telling me not to use the checkbook. He wi so sorried about the money. I am thankful that I have my own money. I am raring to go.

He will have his two pieces of string streese and then I will go. He will not be a happy camper and I will have to smile sweetly and say I understand. I will have to listen to alot of griping and complaining. I will need some more words to say than I understand. I guess it will be a learn as I go.

I will be so glad to get out of here. Pretty soon.:p

I hope you called the hospice for your area and asked about a relief care giver so you can take some time off.

I'm glad you were able to get out for a little while.

I'm going back and forth between angry about one thing and excited about another. I've have to deal with the causes of angry, not looking forward to that. The excited part seems like it could be an ongoing thing. One of the online shops I run is having some big growing pains in the best possible way. It feels like coming home in a way, I forgot how much I love helping people find things they enjoy wearing.

Regaining ground after a really rough week. Spent a week in desperation, despair, and hopelessness land. Major...episode? Not ready to write myself as "not normal" as I do believe the response was normal, but ramped up by the PTSD.

Somewhere I found the positive attitude again, hope, and a sense of peace. Even though last week was rough emotionally, I made it through without trashing myself. That is a huge accomplishment.

I feel:

Alone
Anxious
Hopeless
Focused on my eventual passing and how the world will not be changed by it.
Did I say anxious? I just covered my door windows with a curtain and took my anxiety medication and am sitting low in my sofa hoping my son doesn't arrive with my grandkids to say Happy Birthday. (I turned 60 yesterday....ugh).
