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

P!ssed the eff off.

Odd because I don't ever get this mad unless I've taken my anxiety meds, which I haven't. Makes me think I should go ahead and take them and just pass out cuz dammit if I'm not already experiencing the same side effects. Oh you know what I mean.

Mentally and emotionally, I am feeling good, but, physically I am struggling. An ulcerative colitis flare up has left me feeling drained, tired and as if I've been kicked in the stomach.

(((HUGS))) to those who will accept them.

Frustrated and anxious today. Feeling pretty drained and tired.

Woke in a bit of fight or flight. Shallow panting breath. Pressure on chest. Feel my heart beating though blood pressure is fine. Tinnitus a little pronounced. Probably acid flood. Very tired - physically and emotionally. On the sad side.

I'm feeling better. I think my cold is easing up some. Yesterday was hard with the two appointments I had and feeling sick. I try to be a good patient for medical staff. I know they are just doing their jobs. I have a med appointment today, but feeling okay about going. Still I would like to just stay home and relax.

I did get some rest yesterday afternoon, felt a bit better, and then I went out last night to do things that were already planned and on the calendar. I had a really good time. :joyful: But today I'm feeling really, really sick. I can't talk, my throat REALLY hurts, blah, blah, blah. So lots of rest today, too. :unsure: I'm just frustrated. Frustrated that even when I'm feeling better related to PTSD, it's never enough. Something always comes up to interfere with just living my life and having plans and acting like a normal person. It's frustrating, but I'm continuing to learn to live with it. I'm also frustrated that no one around me here gets it. I just come off as fragile or whiny or a baby. It's annoying. It's like I want a "I have PTSD!" stamp on my forehead or something. Some clear reminder to the people around me that PTSD is not nothing and I'm not doing any of this on purpose! Annoyed and frustrated. :confused: I'm feeling annoyed and frustrated and sick. :depressed:

I'm sure things will be better tomorrow. :rolleyes:

@EverOnly358 Sorry, I didn't mean to share my cold with you. ;) In the worst of it that is how I was feeling, like a big baby and annoyed. It makes everything worse, doesn't it? I hope you feel better tomorrow, by taking care of you today. :hug:

Hope. I'm starting to feel better physically so that should help mentally. At some point today my new shoes will arrive. The colorful ones that are going to jump start my getting physically in shape, therefore mentally. Despite my clogged nose and desire to cough my lungs out, I'm feeling optimistic regarding my physical health.

@Britt.f7 - You go gurl! Getting in shape not only makes us feel better and look more radiant - it is the fountain of youth! My 86 y.o. husband started walking two summers ago and not only lost weight which helped his ailing kidneys and heart, but he is now off all blood pressure meds.

I love cool new work out clothes. They make a difference!

As for how I feel today, I have energy after my nap, but can tell by the way I wait at the elevator pacing that I have energy that needs to come out - so some kind of work out is in my near future. I feel the usual base of anger and sadness.

 

[Britt.f7]

@franciemarnie Thank you! Encouragement is always welcomed. :)

I think the shoes will make a difference too. I think it therefore it shall be.

I'm sorry about your base of anger and sadness. I wish for you to feel better.

Hahaha, @Britt.f7, no worries. ;) I've decided to stop complaining. Colds happen. :sick: It does seem like they always happen to me when I'm stressed out and overwhelmed... but still, it's just a cold. I'm glad the weekend is almost here... fewer responsibilities for me to worry about. :confused:

I think the exercise stuff is terrific... it makes all the difference towards feeling better. You're gonna do great and look great while doing it, Britt! :cool:

@EverOnly358 Thank you for the support. I'm absorbing all the support and encouragement I can get. I need it.

Thing about cold's, they really can stink at times. I usually get just enough to irritate me, but this one has gone above and beyond! I think it is good to remind yourself to take care of yourself even if it is "only a cold", just to prevent it from getting worse. So you take care of yourself and I will try to take care of me and we'll beat this cold!
