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

Very anxious. Received a message this evening on facebook to contact my uncle regarding my grandfather's estate. I couldn't give a shit about my grandfather's estate; but I'm very anxious about having to speak to family that I've cut out from my life for good reason. Just thinking about having to talk to them is enough to send me into a tailspin of anxiety, let alone having to actually do it. :(
 
Feeling better today.

Happy Birthday Phillipa!

Thanks Ms Spock. I'm glad you're feeling better as well. Hope it stays that way for a while at least.

I'm feeling rather defiant and free at the moment. I finally blocked all members of my family on my hotmail account, so I cannot be contacted by any of them...not even my little brother, who I was keeping the lines open with, but who really hasn't been contributing to my life in a positive way for 20 years now, apart from teaching me a few martial arts moves a few years ago, which I thanked him for.

It felt peaceful almost immediately, and after this morning, it's about time I did. I don't know if I will keep them all blocked forever, but for now I can rest without worrying about any more 'nice' messages which have the underlying message that I need to just forget about the past and fall back in line with their wants and needs, regardless of how it affects me.

I feel light and amazed.I had a great day, and felt supported and praised and heard by the women in my art class, which made me feel comfortable, closer to them, and acknowledged.
 
Spending money that I really shouldn't, but feeling that I should because it is my son's last(and first) year of High School Football. It's taken him a long time to get to the point where he would even join the team and I want to encourage his positive behavior. Oh well, I guess I will have to think of where to skimp by. After all, he won't have this chance again.
 
I'm feeling better than I have been for the past several days!

I had decided to have the A/C fixed in my very old car, still cheaper than buying a new car, etc. but once I decided I was going to do it and spend the money, I began to become very anxious. Almost to the point of making myself physically sick, because I was doing this. They had to keep my car overnight so I picked it up this morning and yes, I now have A/C in my car!

It was so hard for me to justify spending the money on something that I have done without for so long. It's like, we have been having these cool days, so I started telling myself, I didn't need it, and I could live through the heat, like I didn't deserve it!

The experience just took so much out of me, like not being able to breathe, but still counting down the time when my car would be finished and the panic situation would at least start to come down, slowly!
