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

[ms spock]

Feeling highly anxious, but doing more stuff.

Trying to lift my activity levels. Trying to normalise to a higher level of functioning. The anxiety is feeling pretty massive at the moment but that will hopefully stabilise with lots of practice. Hanging in there.

I am feeling better because I slept through the night. I don't do well with an extreme lack of sleep.

I am feeling tired and depressed. Not sure why. I had a good day at work, no flashbacks...

I feel a little uncomfortable, defensive, apprehensive; ...anxious about upcoming therapy appointment. My guard is definitely up. I suppose it is a trust issue concerning my "new" therapist. Oh well, I'll just have to deal with that when see her, (which is not until Friday). Until then, I am going to try to relax and take it easy...wish me luck.

Wishing peace, healing and comfort for all.

I am feeling competent tonight.

This is what I completed today.

Okay so I ate twice today. Tried the other time but could only eat a couple of mouthfuls.

Did 2 x 15 cleaning sessions.

Did some extended drawing whilst at my friend's house.

Walked an hour and a half.

Walked into town.

Went out to two social situations, spent some hours with people.

Sat with my anxiety when I waited an hour for someone to turn up.

Texted and reached out to people.

Organised to get extra volunteer work.

Thought about how to get moving more and to do more.

Kept going and doing things despite the very high anxiety. This will normalise with lots of practice.

Spent very little time frozen, watching tv on the couch. Perhaps an hour.

This is an significant improvement for me. I only slept three hours last night so it was really good of me to push through.
I was also responsible there was an event I didn't want to go to but I decided I must. I contacted to go and it was cancelled.

Feeling disappointed. Went home from work as I was struggling to concentrate. I am tired of struggling through each day.

Ms Spock, I am glad you had a good day yesterday.

It's always a stressor when we meet a new therapist, feeling for you. Just sent to the Univers that you meet the right therapist for where you're at right now, and that she will permit you to gain better mastery over you. ((((((lionheart777))))))

Struggling with balance right now.....mental, physical and emotional. Not sure what I can or cannot handle. A lot of self-doubt and a lot of anxiety over the "unknowns". On busy days like this, I really need to stay in the moment and adjust accordingly.

 

[ms spock]

Feeling anxiety that feels overwhelming despite doing better today.

Ms Spock, I am glad you had a good day yesterday.

Thanks it was a breakthrough!

Quite drained. Met with my new therapist today. (I am now seeing two therapists - the one I've been seeing for a few months now is a sexual trauma therapist; the new one is a clinical psychologist.) The session was good and I felt very comfortable with the new therapist. I almost dissociated during the session while giving her a brief overview of my past but managed to pull myself back. She and I talked about planning structure for therapy sessions and developing coping strategies. Feeling confident this therapist will help me a lot. Just very tired and drained now. Had a bad headache earlier, as well as strong pain in my back and shoulders. Took some painkillers and I feel more at ease now.
