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

Feeling kinda down, eating too much.

I decided to keep the appointment with the counselor and at the end I brought up someone I had worked with. She shared what she knew about her, like I didn't know who she was and where she had worked. I'm mad and hurt that I began to explain myself that I had worked with her. I had worked at this place for 30 years!
 
I'm still struggling with anxiety and hypervigilance. They keep going round and round and round. Anxiety, distorted thoughts, more anxiety, fear, even more anxiety, hypervigilance and more anxiety. I really wish I could take the medication. This is so frustrating and exhausting. I just can't seem to get it to stop. If anyone has tips that work for them I'd be so grateful if you could share them.
 
Why the F did I take on so much?
I ask myself that often. It's a difficult role to be in I think DM. I relate to what you said in that post a lot.
It was quite a success and I survived
You took on lots but survived. Well done :tup:.

I'm afraid of emotion and just letting myself feel what I need to.
I prefer feeling nothing. I know it is horrible to feel numb and almost empty, like I'm void of being able to feel happy or joy, to even feel negative emotions like sadness, but I've found that since starting therapy and voicing some of my past has made it extremely difficult to switch off my emotions or to ignore them. They are overwhelming and catch up with me :nailbiting:. Sometimes they take me by surprise and I try really hard to stay in control of them for fear other people will see my anger/sadness/depression. I don't know if this is what you mean or it's like this for you, or if I've over identified with you. Either way, I hope you can process the feelings roaminggnome, and take care of you in the process :).

Sending healing vibes to you all today. Reading this thread has made me feel less lonely, so thank you all for sharing your roller coaster emotional rides on this thread :hug:.
