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

[KP the nut]

I'm feeling very happy. I've had a lovely day/evening. I finished a rag wreath, made more Christmas cards, spoke to both my girls, cuddled with the dogs, watched a great darts final on TV and most importantly had a lovely meal/wine with Hubby,

All of a sudden, very very angry.

I feel guilty and ashamed. I feel like a problem and a burden. I feel rejected and stupid. I don't really even feel like myself. I feel like I'm not getting any better. I kind of feel like quitting therapy. Like what's the point? It's not really even helping. I feel like I screwed everything up. I feel like a failure.

@BlackbirdSinging , :hug: if you would like one. I think it's hard to see any progress you've made sometimes when you're in the "I feel like a failure" mindset. I hope you can be more gentle with yourself today and think of all the ways you're not stupid or a burden.

I feel: Completely isolated and trapped. These are feelings, right? Worried/concerned. :cry:.

I think the big one is passive though. I feel passive in my own life. I feel like recently I forgot how to live, and a long time ago I gave up on building the life I thought I would have. I can sort this out, I'm just stuck in the awful place right now and I'm struggling to bring myself out of it. I'm struggling to take care of myself. Not very :ninja:-like.

I hope I find the strength to deal with these feelings and live a better life, because I'm unhappy with how my life turned out in nearly all areas :depressed:. I don't know what I want to do with my life. Is that a feeling? Lost, I guess.

 

[Definitely..maybe]

So proud of myself that when my mom crossed the line too many times, I packed up my car and left to head back home (1200 miles). I'm 20 so 4 hours is the longest I've ever done.

I'm so relieved to be getting home to my doctors, support and comfort.

I'm also happy to be back on the site after barely having Internet! I've missed it and you guys!:)

Not feeling too good this morning as I have a water infection. Luckily I have managed to get an appoint at the Dr's, so only have to wait another 40 mins before I go.

Antibiotics will clear it in no time.

Antibiotics will clear it in no time.

Hoping that they kick in soon Amethist, take care.

I'm feeling really good. I feel pretty (and that is hard to say. I have had a lovely shower, blow dried my hair and put make-up on. A good friend is visiting from Ireland and I am meeting her for lunch.

Now, I need to get in the mindset that I can do the make-up etc when it is just for me.

watched a great darts final on TV

I love the darts, I didn't even know it was on.

I have the dreaded flu so I'm lying on the sofa snuggled under a blanket waiting for it to pass.

Getting ready to start the week and I could so use a confidence shot. Feeling scared of what is facing me this week and part of me just wants to run and hide, but I know I will face the fear and deal with things to my best ability. I just hate feeling so jumbled up inside.

I am feeling anxious. Rather a great deal of anxiety. I volunteered to go shopping for an ill friend later. The though of the grocery store has sent me into a tailspin. I'm tired of anxiety ruling my life. Right now I'm headed for a panic attack with my heart beating fast. I had to break down and take medication. I hate my social phobia. It is ruining everything.

Had a great lunch with my friend. I'm feeling very happy. She thought I was looking fabulous. My mind is in a good place
today and I think it is shining through.

Right now I'm headed for a panic attack with my heart beating fast. I had to break down and take medication. I hate my social phobia. It is ruining everything.

I was right there most of the day yesterday. I hope the medication helps and that you'll feel better when you get out. I think it's a really great thing that you volunteered to help your friend. Especially since you know you struggle with social things. You seem to be challenging the social fears by doing the thing that isn't easy for you. I think that takes courage and strength. And I hope that awful anxiety will go away or at least go down for you today. Hugs if you're comfortable accepting them :hug:.

I feel a little better today. Although every time I feel my thoughts starting to distort I pretty much threaten the anxiety. I don't want to go there today. Yesterday was a terrible day in terms of how anxious I felt.
