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

[BlackbirdSinging]

Anxious. Worried. Scared. I feel rejected. I'm angry. I'm feeling a lot of hypervigilance. Someone in my world is triggering me and I'm confusing whether or not they mean to do what it looks like they're doing. It's messing with my head. And I get calmish and then BOOM it comes surging back. And I just recognized what's happening to me. I'm having emotional flashbacks. And now I'm really angry. At PTSD. At the situation. At myself for not being able to tell the difference of what's going on. I just want to scream. I'm so stressed out.

I am feeling like I've begun to spiral downward. This is usually how my mood swings go. I'm up and everything is good for awhile then I crash. I know the reason why but don't know if there is anything that can be done medication wise because of medication interactions. I'm frustrated, angry, and anxious. What a combination. Plus I still haven't heard if I got into graduate school or not yet. So that is adding to my anxiety. Maybe I'm just having a bad day. I hope.

I'm a bit relieved because I got through today without too many hitches, but disheartened because I have much to do tonight and I'm tired, wondering how am I going to get everything done on time.

99Phoenix99, your dream and love of soccer and having to give it up touched me. There are true loves I had but gave them up without realizing why. I thought it was due to a lack of self-discipline until I realized decades later that some of those loves triggered me or my hypervigilence before I ever knew what terms like "trigger" or "hypervigilance" meant. After realizing that I had PTSD symptoms from the age of eight, I began to realize that things weren't due so easily to my "lack of willpower." I understand your longing, but I'm hopeful that your "relieved" sense grows into something even more positive. By the way, one of my loves was soccer, too; the other even bigger one was music/piano playing. (Best wishes)

(((Hugs for all seeing as this is a Monday)))

I want to scream and cry, though I can't pinpoint why.

(Heh, I made a rhyme.)

I feel tired.

I feel like I have a chance.

At age 22 I find myself completely at a loss what to do with myself. So... I'm very fragile today... I think a good cry is in order...

I'm glad you are alive and I totally understand. I was told that I would suffer the rest of my life with this Lyme Disease and that I would have recurrences of it all my life (it almost killed me) and I felt hopeless.

Then they found an antibiotic that worked pretty well against it and then they discovered that is recurs because of being bitten by another tick, not because of any other reason unless it was not treated with the proper antibiotics. SO! I'm not doing so badly and now I don't know what to do with the other half of my life either. None the less, I'm doing a lot of reading and thinking on it and I am sure I will come up with SOMETHING. Right now I'm reading THE HAPPINESS PROJECT by Gretchen Rubin. I'm enjoying it and it is giving me ideas....

Oh yes, and how I'm feeling today: I was in hysterics and still am just thinking about the BUM WIPING thread and the YOUR PET DID WHAT!?! one too.

Feeling a bit overwhelmed. Feeling like I have many challenges.

I am feeling okay. Have to get out.

Just really struggling with not wanting to be on earth at present. I am tired of it all and struggling to see the point of continuing. And in a type of accepting way which is a bit weird.

I suppose I should be attempting to list exact emotions though. Hopeless; trapped; sad; broken; in emotional pain. Drama drama.

Abstract, I'm so sorry for how you're feeling.

Hang in there. I'm thinking of you, and hope this eases soon.

I'm feeling a bit annoyed right now. Still a bit sleepy and a bit chilly. Wanting the weather to improve so I can paint finally. Feeling peaceful. Accepting of the alienation I've created between myself and my parents.
