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

I am so mega pissed off at male and female child rapists and the ways in which Australian culture doesn't do anything to really substantially prevent this from occurring.

Two cats sitting next to my keyboard, I'm feeling fairly calm.

Just got home from a beyond pointless doctor's visit. Luckily, this doctor is not a critical part of my care. I prescribe for him: weekly therapy sessions for empathy and knowledge insufficiencies. ;)

@Ms Spock - I will imagine that today in my meditation - watching the waves with you. And watching you boogie on your board. What is a boogie board I wonder.

I feel sort of rested with six deep sleep hours! Feel sneezy. Cold-ish. Feel solid. Tired but content.

@Ed Norton - so glad you didn't drink. The chemical aftermath is like internal warfare with every cell screaming. Unless of course a person has just one. I was never that type unfortunately.

@Ninja - I've known some doctors like the one you saw. I always wonder why they went into the healing profession. Money I suppose. I'm sorry you had to deal with him though.

I'm disappointed and disgusted with myself for some of the horribly judgmental things that I've been thinking. Part of me knows it's things that were said to me, internalized. Maybe that's where the disgust is coming from. Confused and unsure of what's really going on, but if the antacids only work for a few minutes that means it's anxiety. So anxiety too, lots of it- then embarrassment. I've had the same big realization several times after spending a few hours trying to soothe my mind with heartburn tablets.

@franciemarnie I wonder that as well. I think many of these kinds of doctors, who fail to see the patient underneath the masses of various forms of tissue, have lost sight of what their profession means to them. I think they become needlessly disconnected from the things that originally motivated them to get through the countless hours of homework, tests, etc.: sometimes I feel like the last piece of work on their check list. I can only imagine that it must be difficult to seamlessly utilize different skills while working with different people and switch out of the med school mindset; I think it takes a very emotionally healthy person. Maybe therapy should be incorporated into medical school?

I was able to take a short nap so I am feeling much more rested. :sleep:

Tired. Pissy. Anxious (like I'm going to do something I'll regret cuz I'm feeling pissy). Tired.

Right now I'm feeling:

Anxious as time right now passes.
Scared as the next part of this day approaches.
Irritable and Annoyed with a persistently barking dog, sun shining to brightly in my eyes, my fear of not having done enough today and time always passing.

Today I'm feeling:

Still angry that one set of instructions to one simple prescription reads and unexpectedly instructs differently depending upon each holding source of information. This is overwhelmingly annoying and yesterday felt confusing, anxiety producing, :nailbiting: so additionally stressful - dumping feelings of powerlessness, fear, threat and anger abruptly into yesterday.

Also, some feelings of accomplishment, sharpness and external calm today.

@Ninja - Wow! Fantastic power of analysis and so true re: docs. So glad you got some rest. Me too but not enough.

I feel so tired. I feel sad, but I don't know if it's more because I am worn out or maybe because I am completing something I wanted to do all my life and there is melancholy it took fifty years or both or...

Anyway I feel sad and tired. It feels like my arms came back after vacating long ago. My hair feels heavy (time for a wash). I feel hungry. I feel a little empty, but still there is a contentment there too re my project.

I am feeling much better after seeing my doctor, She suspects that I have sleep apnea and has ordered a sleep study. She also doubled the dosage of my diabetes medication and gave me a pneumonia shot. I have an appointment tomorrow to have my eyes checked and some other things that will help improve my health.

She wants me to talk to my psychiatrist and tell her that I need something for insomnia, but until then has recommended an OTC medicine. I am feeling much better physically which has improved my mood a great deal, I am feeling happy and relieved. I have been sick for the majority of January and am glad that it is almost over.

I am feeling shattered and lost after receiving notification that as of tomorrow I have no prescription drug coverage. I am on Abilify which is $1200 a month, Cymbalta which is $220 a month and four other medications. For a total of 5 psychiatric medications on which I was just finally stabilized. My psychiatrist is out on maternity leave and her office only had 14 days worth of Abilify via samples. And won't have any more. Luckily, my Dad can help out. He is wiling to pay for the Abilify in order for me to down dose off of it. I'm afraid of being off it that I'll have visual and auditory hallucinations again. I feel like everything is just one big mess. I have no income and am sick and tired of all of this.

I'm feeling good. Tomorrow is Friday and on Saturday, a member here and her hubby are coming for the weekend. I'm feeling excited.
